Grinchys vintage collection, small but growing

Thanks guys appreciate it, I still have a few I need from this line, slowly building the collection

Well this is a new one on me, a graded ralph Mcquarrie trading card, just browsing ebay and found this, inexpensive and will look good in the collection of different McQuarrie stuff I have, I wonder if there are more?

There are more of them Ian.  You have card #124 from the ESB series 1 set.

In the ESB Series 1 set (red boarder cards) (Topps and O-Pee-Chee) (American & Canadian sets), there are 13 "Space Paintings".  Card #'s 118 thru 130.

In the ESB Series 3 set (yellow/green boarder cards) (Topps and O-Pee-Chee) (American & Canadian sets), there are 10 "Space Paintings".  Card #'s 336 thru 345.

Very cool Ian . Somehow i knew Clint would have the answer

Thanks guys, very informative, I guess it'll be a stretch to find them all graded like this one, but its another little focus to try and get, thanks for the info Clint

Ian, send me a pm.  I might be able to help with some ungraded Canadian ones.  I might have one or two kicking around.

I'm just heading out for my daughters soccer game. I'll check in tomorrow.

thanks mate
sent a pm, cheers

Changed one of my shelves around, put all the mini rigs together, I like it

The cabinet is looking great.

Cheers mate, my main double cabinet is my vintage one, I have a modern cabinet to, but my favourite is the vintage,

Those "space paintings" cards would look awesome together on a single display. Might be something CAS would do but then again, the acrylic would be far more expensive than the items within. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing though. I dont know if any of you have seen the custom job they did, making a case for the first 5 wax packs, but it's beautiful.

Cheers guys, yeah it does look nice graded, I have cards more on the way ungraded thanks to clint.
Never saw the case they did for the wax packs, does sound good though

It’s interesting, one of their most original designs in my opinion. They mentioned it on TVR podcast and I looked it up.

That is a nice display,i really like that, wasn't the vintage packaging eye catching back then, such vibrant colours!

Just bought this on ebay, 12 inch scale chewie, in good order apart from one of the cannisters is missing of the bandolier and the arms are a bit loose, but for display purposes it'll do me just fine

looking good on the mini rigs dude !! very cool . chewie looks to display nicely also !!!

Cheers, yeah chewie should fit right in to my display, glad to finally have him

So I think i'm going a bit soft in the head, just bought this, scout walker box with inserts and Manuel but no walker, paid £25.00, I just love the box art on it, couple of tears but I can fix those up, am I mad

I dont know what boxes go for but thats a nice addition

Cheers Bill, the wife saw me buying it, looked at me like I was crazy, but babe I said, its got the inserts and paperwork , she is supportive of the hobby but wonders at some of the stuff I buy,

A good box with the inserts & manual is tough to find. A good loose vehicle should be fairly easy to find. Well done.

Cheers Clint, see I knew you guys would get it
I'll see about picking up a nice loose example, I have one on display already but its yellowed over time and a bit droopy, bit like myself

I think that was a really good price Ian, especially with the inserts & manual included.

Cheers Steve, well to round the day off I bought these two, only need the small head han, the big head will be sold on, got them for a good price so pretty happy, another one off my basic variants list
