The game of Wallet Card - May


May brought so much heat that we are begging for some low temperatures.

We're getting days with 40ºC (104F) which makes us all just want to go to the beach.


We need some shadows please!

50 Cities of the World #20 Constantinople


Real Life is getting too much real but lets keep traveling.

Today is Constantinople we'll meet.

Hope you're all aware of the figure of Constantine The Great. (Constantine the film is quite cool too!)

It was him the responsible for Constantinople foundation. The capital of Roman Empire and the greatest European city at the time. Now known as Istanbul, modern Turkish capital.



It had many names before:  Byzantium, Nova Roma, Istanbul (now)...

We can consider Constantinople a city of the world. It used to converge there in ancient times.

Nowadays it's a city converging the West and East worlds. Quite the boiling point in many things but also a great place to go to see ancient history.



Check more on Constantinople in it's wiki page.

The game of Wallet Card - Break time


Because everybody needs a break.

What's in a name - Feliz


Some years ago in A&G set, I think, Topps had those insert cards for 'What's in a Name' or something like that.

Sooooooo lets try doing something like that.

I start with mister Feliz.

Why?

Because Feliz is 'happy' in Portuguese (and in Spanish too).

Topps Avengers


It's the very first time I see a Topps product here in Portugal.

Unfortunately it's an Avengers product...I thought of trying it but the price tag just got my hands tied up... 5,99€ it's like 7/8 dollars.
