K-Duke15 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 So tonight my mom suddenly remembers that she had some trading cards from when she was a kid and remembered that some of them were Dukes of Hazzard. She pulls a small bag out and lone behold, there are some in there. She thinks they are extras and she might have a full set in a box somewhere. Now I have to wait till tomorrow to see if she does or not.Anyone else have any cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roth Potter Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Wow, very nice that you have some. I don't have these cards as I don't live in the USA but I have posted some in the behind the scenes thread. I never found a full set on the internet.Would you be able to scan or picture them to post on our HazzardNet? They have some very nice behind the scenes pictures.Just wondering, If you have card number 62 could you post it? It looks like the Styx River jump from 'Double Sting' S01E13 though at a different location. It looks like they made two jumps at two locations and put them together.

And I was a planing on scanning them and putting them on here but I will probably start that in a couple days after school.I don't have 62 in the repeats but that looks like a really cool picture.Attached is a small picture of the cards I have so far. I don't know why it's sideways but at least you can still see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roth Potter Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I guess you are a very happy man right now. I'll be looking forward to seeing them here.I've turned the picture for you by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also post pictures of the pictures that you can create with the cards even if it isn't the whole set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Duke15 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Can you explain what you mean? I don't understand it.It was kind of hard making a sentence that could be understood about that.But on the back of each card is a section of a picture. When you have all the cards, you can put them together like a puzzle and get a bigger picture. I guess it was a way to get kids to buy more.

Roth Potter Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 That is very cool, I never saw the back of a card so...Hope for you that you have the full set. You fhave doubles too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Duke15 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 My mom found her box and she has three different series of cards. She has more of the blue though which have a copyright date of 1981. There is also 2 stickers which are both Luke.That is very cool, I never saw the back of a card so...Hope for you that you have the full set. You fhave doubles too? Sadly it's not a complete set but there is quite a few. It's 1-66 and it does have 62. Now that I have these, I'll see if the suposive doubles are doubles.

HossC Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 But on the back of each card is a section of a picture. When you have all the cards, you can put them together like a puzzle and get a bigger picture. I guess it was a way to get kids to buy more.I don't think the Dukes cards were available in the UK, but I do remember collecting two different sets of Superman cards around the same time. I'd forgotten that you could turn them over to make a large picture.Roth, I think we've covered this before, but you can get complete sets of cards on Ebay for $35-$40. Otherwise they seem to go for around $2 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Duke15 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I got the big picture done last night. And from the picture you can tell that I'm missing 10 cards. Other than that, I feel pretty happy to have all that I have. Once I'm done with school work in a little more than 12 hours, I'll start scanning cards and posting them.

Roth Potter Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Very nice! so how big is the picture in total? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Duke15 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Very nice! so how big is the picture in total?Well, the cards are 3 1/2" by 2 1/2". So that would make the picture 21" by 27 1/2". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Duke15 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 So here is the moment some of you have waited for. I got some cards scanned and cropped. Sorry for quality of the pictures, they were kind of hard to line up straight and the scanner added the strange look to the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roth Potter Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 So here is the moment some of you have waited for. I got some cards scanned and cropped. Sorry for quality of the pictures, they were kind of hard to line up straight and the scanner added the strange look to the cards.I certainly looked forward to this. The strange look, it isn't that Bad. but most scanners have settings for different scans like Photos or text. You could try finding those settings, might help it a bit.Is this the full size the scanner makes of the pictures? Or is the attachment so small? If its small by attachment and you want them to be bigger online you could upload them to a website like www.flickr.com or send them to my email So I can upload them bigger.Where could this be? I don't remember seeing a Cannon on the show beside at the Boars Nest in at least one episode.I remember that I posted a picture from the same shoot.Ah, this one. do you remember in which episode boss walked with a cane?

And when I scanned them, I had the picture sent to my iPad because I didn't know that our scanner was off and thought my computer was just messed up. So when I found that out, I just kept using my iPad for the convenience. I'll scan more today hopefully and use my computer. They will probably turn out better.Would you like the pictures to be bigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roth Potter Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Bigger is not always better. But in this case I think bigger would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get home, I'll enlarge one and post it to see what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HossC Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks for posting these, K-Duke.The strange look, it isn't that Bad. but most scanners have settings for different scans like Photos or text. You could try finding those settings, might help it a bit.I've just checked on my scanner (it's a Canon), and as well as the photo/text option, there's another one labeled "Descreen". This sometimes gets rid of the striped effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Duke15 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Great. Since that seems to be better, I'll repost the other four before I start posting more.I've just checked on my scanner (it's a Canon), and as well as the photo/text option, there's another one labeled "Descreen". This sometimes gets rid of the striped effect.I got the rest of my cards scanned and I used my computer this time. They turned out much better but I will just leave the first half the way they are. When I use my computer it takes a more detailed look at what is being scanned and tries to make it look it's best. The app I used on my iPad (our printer/scanner is an Epson) does a general scan and I guess that's why these looked like they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Duke15 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Cathy has always been pretty and you can tell that this picture was when she had colored her hair blond but had to change it back to brown for the show.You can't help but love a shot with the General jumping.Once again, another picture of Boss with the cane.

Roth Potter Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thank you for uploading another pair, they are awesome! The quality is also improved now you use a pc.You can't help but love a shot with the General jumping.I'm sure that this is the same angle as the jump itself was shown on TV. It could be a screencap. I have made a .gif file of this jump before, when i'm home i'm going to look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
