LOST Tote Bag

I recently added this very cool

LOST Tote Bag to my collection. 

I had never seen this version of a 

LOST tote before, although

the same LOST island logo 

appears on the LOST

messenger bag seen here:

Sawyer - The LOST Kitty

Sawyer joined my household a little under a year ago.

He was a "LOST" kitty, apparently abandoned when

his owner moved away.  He really adopted me.

He showed up one day and never left.

Sawyer is a Maine Coon cat.

He quickly challenged McKiever 

for household dominance.

McKiever probably would have been named after

a LOST character as well, but he joined my household

pre-LOST. HOWEVER he does have a Scottish name.....

Coincidence, considering my love of Desmond?

I think not, Mr. Eko!

FATE.

And I went CRAZY, buying as many

as I could afford.

Holy Grail

I began collecting LOST Trading Cards 

from Inkworks as soon as they were released. 

My Season 1 set, Revelations and Season 2 sets

are complete, including variations, dealer case incentives,

and promo cards.

But I was lacking one final card in the 

Inkworks LOST Season 3 set.

It was the Holy Grail for me: the autographed

propworks card containing a piece of Oceanic 815

and signed by Greg Grunberg.

Rarer trading cards can be very pricey. 

The quest is to find the elusive card at the right price. 

I've spent over $100 on an individual card, but

prices on the autographed propworks card

were well over $200, closer to $250 for several

years after the set was released....

too much!

I finally found the card for the right price

and made it my Christmas gift to myself.

As with all of my prop, wardrobe/costume, autograph

and ACEO cards, the card has been placed

in a screw-down holder. I have made a 

substantial investment in my collection

and want to be sure that the cards are properly

protected. The screw-down holders ensure

archival storage.

Rittenhouse Archives began producing 

LOST Trading cards after Inkworks went out of business.

There are three Rittenhouse LOST Trading card sets

that I am currently trying to complete:

LOST Seasons 1-5

LOST Archives

LOST Relics

 I am lacking about 10 cards

to complete all three sets.

The quest coninues!

"Rousseau's Transmission" by Dan McCarthy

"Rousseau's Transmission" by Dan McCarthy 

was the ninth print released in the

LOST Underground Art Project, Series I

aka DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com

It's taken me FOREVER to have it framed,

(I forgot about it in the flat file- yeah I know, DUMMY ME)

but the results are spectacular and I am thrilled!

My print is #118/300.
