No.. the cards come from counters and in the mail from all over the world. I have been collecting since Rebel Rock came out. I get them myself if I can, swap for them or purchase the ones from overseas. It's an ongoing thing!!!!!

FlaLadyB, have you seen cards from any of the new collections? I've been looking for:

New View
Sonic Chic
Starflash
Lustre Twins
Overrich

and haven't seen any. Do they still make cards for every collection?

They don't put out cards for every collection - no..sometimes I wish, other times I think.l.geeeez I have enough to do every day to find the ones they DO put out! lol!

I have not seen anything for Overrich, New View or Lustre Twins yet.
I do have Starflash and Electroflash.

I also search every day for cards and collectables ..mailers and invites especially!

Barb,

First let me congratulate you on such an amazing collection! All the time (and $$$) you have put in and continue to dedicate to this collection is truly amazing. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us. You have inspired me and as you say "another hits the dust" (I think) LOL I want to start collecting

!

I could kick myself a million times thinking of how many cards I threw away throughout the years (I've been a MAC customer since the late 90s), but what can you do right?

I started my Viva Glam collection today and I was able to the get the following: Eve, Christina Aguilera, Boy George, Chloe Sevigny, Missy Elliot, Linda Evangelista, Pam Anderson (from a more recent shoot), group shot of Elton/Shirley/Mary J, Mary J and Lil Kim dressed in gold, and the card of eve/dita/lisa marie/debbie harry. I am missing Pam Anderson original cards (front & back), Dita, and Fergie. Can you tell me who else I may be missing from the Viva Glam spokepeople?

I also started working on my icons. I was able to get a card from the Liza for Mac collection (not ebay). It looks like Diana Ross and Catherien Deneuve are accessible but not Rachel Welch. Is she more a rare find?

When you started, did you have a method to your madness (no offense) LOL? Did you aim to get the more readly available cards or aim for certain collections? Sorry for the millions questions... I just want to grow up to be just like you

!!!!

Thanks in advance and I can't wait to get my cards in the mail

HAHAHAH...yes, another one bites the dust!

Method to my madness? Actually I look EVERY DAY for cards I don't have or that are new - especially any invitations, mailers, special event items...its neverending!

I have a complete list from 1994 back on the first page- and then from 2007 on this page (ran out of room!).

Interesting that I usually have a lot of extra cards over in the swap/sale area and I just looked in my box so I could send you Rachel ..and I don't even have an extra. I have extras of a lot of others but odd I don't have her. hummm...

I started off with Rebel Rock. Something about that card just said...why aren't you collecting all these fab cards??? So....that started it and I have been hooked ever since....badly! Now I have cards coming from Singapore, the UK, Australia, swaps of course, and any way I can get them.

Right now I am waiting for the arrival of Sheer Minerals, Suite Array, and
Emanuel Ungaro. I have "scouts"! LOL!!

I try to post some of the more rare ones on here and if you want to see a lot more at once just email me and I will link you up with my photobucket account where you can browse (that's a card too!) to your hearts content and see what ALL you are missing!

BARB

Hey,

Any tips for new collectors? Pitfalls, tc??

How do you spot fakes? Any tell tell signs? I'm especially afraid of the the overseas ones.

Thanks!

JUST sent you a private message about "things" and who to get from and who not. What to watch for - no bends, no frayed edges.. MINT condition ONLY. Don't be afraid of overseas. I gave you names of some good people to deal with.

Fakes...well.. we really don't have them in this. Not enough $ for copies although that did come up in one set of cards the Chinese collection of painted bodies. Different card stock and size and they only came out in ONE place. Otherwise...no worries.. just ASK about the condition of the card. No staples, pinholes, or anything else. NO NO NO.... that doesn't get it. Unfortunately the mailers we have no control over the post office....
