Thrift Store Find: Iron Man USB Memory Figurine

I found an Iron Man USB memory figurine from 2011 still in the package for fifty cents on Saturday. The original price was $19.99 at Alco's. There's a small two dollar price sticker over the original store price tag so I'm guessing that someone tried to sell it at a yard sale. There is exclusive bonus content including a free one month subscription to Marvel Digital Comics plus cover gallery, wallpapers and desktop icons.

50th Birthday Bash #7: Spider-Man Balloons Birthday Card

Happy Valentine's Day! I couldn't find any comic book related Valentine cards in the local stores this year. Not surprising really especially after reading The True Shocking Messages Found in Store Bought Valentienes Featuring Spider-Man, the Avengeres, Big Hero 6, Adventure Time and more.

Today's birthday card was actually given to me by my mother and younger sister (the other two names are the latter's dogs) this year for my fiftieth natal anniversary. The front features Spider-Man hanging upside down while holding sixteen balloons an a tan background. The artwork plus the outlines of the buildings in the background has a raised texture to them:

The inside of the Spider-Man balloons birthday card is pretty simple. The only text is "Happy Birthday" on the right side (birthday is upside down):

There is no date on the back so I'm guessing it to be from 2014. The Spider-Man balloons birthday card was picked up at the local Dillons grocery store. The price was $3.99 (no different prices marked for USA and Canada):

The birthday card came with a tan colored envelope.

50th Birthday Bash #6: Superman Birthday Card With Backpack Pull Tag

Happy Friday the 13th! This is a special one for me for it is also my 50th natal anniversary. Hey, I'm just surprised that I made it this far.

Today's post spotlights the Superman birthday card with backpack pull tag. The front has Superman flying with a cut out where his S-shield is. The backpack pull tag is supposed to show through the cut out window. Unfortunately, the chain is rather long so it's hard to line it up. The text reads "Awesome, confident, and cool...":

The puffy S-shield backpack pull tag is looped on the card itself on the left interior page with a chain. The text on the right interior page reads "Just like Superman you rule! Happy birthday!":

While there is no year on the back of the Superman birthday card with backpack pull tag, "Jan14" is printed in small print in the lower right hand corner. I'm guessing this was produced in 2014. The original price was $5.99 in the USA and $7.99 in Canada (I picked it up for $1.80):

This birthday card came with a solid blue envelope.
