So, final count (hopefully), there are 47 Gambit cards in the new Topps X-Men '97 card set. That includes all the chase cards and parallel sets. We got lucky in the fact that the backs of the cards are just text and no extra images, so all the cards included are just Gambit cards. It does not include Sketch Cards, since there is no true count on those, but there are some in the set to find. I will try to get them up on the site as soon as I can. I have got scans of a lot of them, they just need to be edited and cataloged.

Out of curiosity, how many gambit items do you have in your collection? Could you share some photos of your collection?

I have A LOT! Been collecting since the early 90's. Most of my things are protected/stored in cabinets and containers....but I do have plans on finishing my third bedroom in my house next Winter, especially for the collection and it will have more room for display and sorting. I will make sure to document the project when it gets started.

I believe I have come to a line in the sand on what and what not to move from the old Goods and Merchandise section to other sections when pertaining to the Games.

If the items are truly collectible, as in it comes in a mystery type package and a series is available to collect randomly, it will be added to the Game Related Collectibles in Trading Cards. This is going to be things like the Pogs/Milk Caps, game related figures like Heroclix, and the oddball collector games like Mighty Beanz.

If they are games mass produced with no mystery, like board games, playing card decks, or games with booster packs that everyone gets the same with purchase, like Crisis Protocols, I am going to leave them out of any current databases.

I will continue to post the board games in the groups so people will know of there release, but as of now they will not have a home on the site. I will keep all the of information saved for a rainy day and maybe later I will put together a board game related database. I will also leave the links for the old Goods DB at the bottom of the page for now, but they will not be updated.

I will say the Marvel Crisis Protocols and Marvel Zombies game were the breakers here. I really wanted to add them, because they have some really nice cards/figures, but it just doesn't fit with the Trading Card sets and they will just open a whole can of worms that will muck up the waters. So, I will leave them off the site for now and drop them here for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks for sticking around for this madness all these years!

I uploaded a "complete" list of the Non-Sport trading cards tonight on lediableblanc.com. It is HUGE! So be aware if you are using data, you may want to wait until I break it down. It is almost 1000 cards long. I just didn't want everyone that wanted the updated list to have to wait until I got the menu together.

The cards are now separate from each other, instead of being lumped by set like before, so now when you click the thumbnail you with get a larger image of only that card and the back of the card (as available).

Next I will break it down. I think I have a good date based breakdown that will make it much easier on data and size. I will be adding the stickers, pogs, misc cards, etc from the old goods page on to that menu too. After all that, I will get the game cards updated/rehauled and add it to that menu too.

This should have all the Gambit related cards for now, until the Topps '97 set comes out later this year, I don't think there are any other Marvel sets on the schedule other than that one.

If you do see a card missing from the list or have an image for one the missing ones, please let me know. Remember, we check fronts AND backs, if he is on the back it counts too. If you see any broken links or errors, please let me know, i am sure there are some in there somewhere.

Question to the crowd........

I have added the last released card set to the trading card database and we are at 944 Gambit trading cards, this is only the non-sport cards, as I always keep those separate from the gaming ones. I was planning on moving some of the other collectible sets, like stickers and miscellaneous cards, from the dead goods page to this database, but it is getting a little out of control as it is.

So, I was thinking of breaking it down, similar to the comic book database (https://www.lediableblanc.com/Appearances/) and making smaller sections of the database, connected to a main menu. As is, it is a problem because it makes one hell of a long and data eating page when I script it to an actual webpage, it just cannot be left whole.

So, I am thinking maybe breaking it up in years? Or Decades? Every couple years? How many cards is too many cards on one listing? I don't know. Ideas? How do card collector fans prefer to look at checklists?

lediableblanc.com/ HAS BEEN UPDATED! The site has officially been consolidated! All of the side information (like charged items, stolen items, friends/foes, etc) has been added to the Appearance Database under the proper comic. Other information (like movies/tv/games) that are not comic book related has been removed, I will no longer be housing that information. The site will be going back to just comic information for now. Other areas of the site have been taken down due to it being out of date materials (wallpaper, fanart, etc), or just an impossible task that is easier for a social media site to hold the information (merchandise), so check out the Facebook or Tumblr pages for that news. Some of the older pages that people may be still using I linked up under Older Updates at the bottom of the main page. I will leave these pages for the time being, but I will not be updating them.

- Now for what has been added! Not only did I consolidate the information into the Appearance Database, I also added Newsstand Editions, Mark Jeweler Editions, Price Variants, and other variants to the database since there is a rising interested for those in the market now. So hundreds of new variants have been added to the database (just click on the comic image to see all variants for the comic). - Now I will be adding new titles, reformatting some of the side databases, and playing with formatting menus in the coming weeks, but it will all be in working order while those changes are made. I will also be updating the FAQs to explain terms and new information added.
