We are going to celebrate that milestone this summer. But before we get to that, I would like to take a moment to recognize the amazing effort the crew at Cooter's has been putting in lately with the newest Cooter's Place exclusive products. DukesCollector Cooter wanted to help show off these great new items. Let's take a look.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipvFdoX-ldmN_fQdUeWEeipdDsJ6pefQ-6xYvoDIRr1xPqq078PTxpRPxWXFR5DB5jW4WcOuq0nVGDVlnagwJWPIJ6vrQIR-Dr8pbiYovpM_q_QCdgBSMMHt8f-nSeqGSMRpwAWigRsxizqmDfQq5jKTCvL-nv0fnjT4wAVSlVcgGzXjufmPTxZqN4FYc/s4096/IMG_20240131_164644120.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipvFdoX-ldmN_fQdUeWEeipdDsJ6pefQ-6xYvoDIRr1xPqq078PTxpRPxWXFR5DB5jW4WcOuq0nVGDVlnagwJWPIJ6vrQIR-Dr8pbiYovpM_q_QCdgBSMMHt8f-nSeqGSMRpwAWigRsxizqmDfQq5jKTCvL-nv0fnjT4wAVSlVcgGzXjufmPTxZqN4FYc/w400-h300/IMG_20240131_164644120.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Maybe you might think this is no big deal, but Cooter's now has it's own plastic bag. I think this is a huge deal. Instead of taking your beloved new Cooter's items home in a generic "thank you" bag like before, now your purchase comes in this stunning orange plastic bag that, in my opinion, exceeds anything you would get from Walmart, Target, or anywhere else. Duke Collector Cooter agrees!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAsye7yNMVnwBZ_haPizH_-P49dvH3HlXbsGhEHaMWAQO2s11SXksNRjH6R5nRZAP9k-kOJ7OKHtV5sMUwdKG_iJWL7DS6b7NVzk_B8aDwvBomBJonuYDVql4cBt3chHG0aekAG0f7Lhq6dRB4vbIQBskT1JjgCPGAo8WQYSBlfujSBBsW7TqG_cSzcW0/s4096/IMG_20240131_164651085.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAsye7yNMVnwBZ_haPizH_-P49dvH3HlXbsGhEHaMWAQO2s11SXksNRjH6R5nRZAP9k-kOJ7OKHtV5sMUwdKG_iJWL7DS6b7NVzk_B8aDwvBomBJonuYDVql4cBt3chHG0aekAG0f7Lhq6dRB4vbIQBskT1JjgCPGAo8WQYSBlfujSBBsW7TqG_cSzcW0/w400-h300/IMG_20240131_164651085.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>This piece of plastic goodness is basically a collector's item on its own.

Anytime you order a package from <a href="http://CootersPlace.com">CootersPlace.com</a>, your box will now come sealed with this tire tread themed tape that has the logo and the General Lee on it. That is too cool! </p><p>The bag and the tape are details that Michael and the crew at Cooter's have added to their repertoire that really show the passion they have for Hazzard Nation. These are small additions, but they mean so much. Think about it, Cooter's could just be selling the same t-shirt and photos they always sold, which we would be happy about, but for twenty-five years now, they've never been content and have always given us fans new and exciting items. The fact that Ben, Alma, Michael and the crew have gone so far as to invest in these giveaway items just to make our purchases more special shows how much they love us. We as Dukes fans are truly blessed to have Cooter's and the lovely folks that work there. Cooter's never sits still and is always innovating. That is definitely evident with this next item! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Zse5vdlPBgEcFdSII36rM6p9XHYqJiJJ3MROv62QSWJBbvnAC5t39uk_v2NqyJ7utU55QXCQerpJoFEiW6jDgu9NEp4TZ-rFI_rzgWDpOxm3UnfuStqj2k11y9yJxZZTd7DtGZ4yNMS7bsFpBSp29kEMaNPxcvKPCSst1CO7AheJhF1ZVs1jZ9nFZzw/s4096/IMG_20240131_165112204.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="3072" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Zse5vdlPBgEcFdSII36rM6p9XHYqJiJJ3MROv62QSWJBbvnAC5t39uk_v2NqyJ7utU55QXCQerpJoFEiW6jDgu9NEp4TZ-rFI_rzgWDpOxm3UnfuStqj2k11y9yJxZZTd7DtGZ4yNMS7bsFpBSp29kEMaNPxcvKPCSst1CO7AheJhF1ZVs1jZ9nFZzw/w300-h400/IMG_20240131_165112204.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p>I can't tell you how many times I dreamed about Duked of Hazzard wrapping paper. When I see modern wrapping paper with the Avengers, Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Transformers, and Jurassic Park on it in stores, I always wish that we lived in a world where we could get Dukes wrapping paper. Lately I've seen commemorative gift wrap for licenses like Masters of the Universe and WWE. I've even received some wrestler specific gift wrap showcasing Ultimate Warrior and Macho Man Randy Savage when I bought some items from sites that make authorized WWE memorabilia. I am happy to report we live in that world I dreamed of, because Cooter's now sells 01 General Lee wrapping paper and it is amazing! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil4dlluEUjWZ0GiZF7VzOVDg6b75PicNj-2hnd7yQmK208JtM9l_xyah7k0NmBLIF7Y9K3Hij15rsmGSviBD65eRmeg8s55mwkzBIvqxR-VvQYJeJvBLgW_87YkqLRLdkizebNwM6pIlLBwTlduRZr9IhQTKwvvbuzgyLNbzNqeanidZTPTogcYvRet5Q/s4096/IMG_20240131_165119791.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4096" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil4dlluEUjWZ0GiZF7VzOVDg6b75PicNj-2hnd7yQmK208JtM9l_xyah7k0NmBLIF7Y9K3Hij15rsmGSviBD65eRmeg8s55mwkzBIvqxR-VvQYJeJvBLgW_87YkqLRLdkizebNwM6pIlLBwTlduRZr9IhQTKwvvbuzgyLNbzNqeanidZTPTogcYvRet5Q/w400-h300/IMG_20240131_165119791.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Dukes Collector Cooter loves showing off these rolls of this beautiful orange paper.

Let's say I ordered a lot. My wife wrapped all the presents she bought me in this perfect orange paper and our tree become a wintery Hazzardy wonderland. That's the first time I've ever used the term "Hazzardy" and I guarantee it will not be the last. Full disclosure, I had a hard time ripping the paper off the presents and while opening the first few gifts I acted like my grandmother Dolly, who would always open gifts delicately and not rip it. <a href="https://teddyandtheyeti.blogspot.com/">Jeff</a> also does this, but I think his intentions are to recycle the paper. With the large number of gifts I was fortunate to get from Natalie, Christmas morning would have become Christmas afternoon if I opened them Dolly-style. I stopped thinking about it and ripped in. I was like a kid on Christmas morning. That's exactly how I've been on every Christmas morning my entire life. It was awesome!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2noh50fozl2h4VHbSo43INwRgtjJLWAXA9yg4iqe5B8z-ckWUQGuGiTy490JUR9JJgfqbVnfccEhoLwxfkID8Ao5onVpBV2mWmVsSkB9r2AOCmICwnn8ZtTiEBRz707XHfcVdbOCGZKNmjUZGdvjPHeAl-1QDay8tc9dQf5JtfHDNFpo-gVU2GzHws60/s4080/IMG_20240131_165215501.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4080" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2noh50fozl2h4VHbSo43INwRgtjJLWAXA9yg4iqe5B8z-ckWUQGuGiTy490JUR9JJgfqbVnfccEhoLwxfkID8Ao5onVpBV2mWmVsSkB9r2AOCmICwnn8ZtTiEBRz707XHfcVdbOCGZKNmjUZGdvjPHeAl-1QDay8tc9dQf5JtfHDNFpo-gVU2GzHws60/w400-h301/IMG_20240131_165215501.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>But I didn't use up my whole supply.

I've always noticed that a junior high sized football is the perfect size to throw around with your neighbors in the backyard or with your cousin on the beach. Michael and the crew at Cooter's must be on the same wavelength cause that's exactly the size of this orange beauty. It has the perfect feel.

All week it was supposed to be beautiful on Friday and Sunday, but crappy on Saturday. Several General Lee owners came but left their cars at home and some fans skipped the event all together because of the forecasted weather. Early Saturday morning, it looked dreary and many thought the run might be a bust, but they were wrong! I told Jim about two weeks before the Run that one of my super powers was controlling the weather and I was going to make sure we didn't get rained out for the event. He didn't believe me and you may not either, but the weather cooperated and the Run went on without a hitch.

I did make it unique by going as Bo in his Carnival of Thrills race suit. But I wanted to be different this year and deep dive to a very specific costume. I chose Coltrano the Great! Rosco's Magician alter-ego from the very last episode "Opening Night at the Boars Nest." The episode is about a talent show and Rosco performs magic tricks.

Last year he took home the individual category prize with his Cooter costume This year he entered the duo category with Blake Deeter as Cooter and Cooter Jr. Never underestimate the popularity of a Cooter costume at Cooter's. James decked out his General Lee Ghost Challenger with multiple GoPros and is preparing a special video covering the event. I took some drone footage that I shared with him to use in the video and I can't wait to see the finished product.

The Murdorf, Lewis, Baer family won for best group. Michael Dix won for best individual as Uncle Jesse, James and Blake won for Cooter and Cooter Jr. and Arron won as the Ghostbuster Rosco. As you saw in the video, it was tough to pick winners. Each winner deserved to win, but my money was on Lee as Lulu or maybe Amber as Daisy. Mike's Cooter also got a big rezones from the crowd. I've learned you can't underestimate a Cooter costume at Cooter's. Congratulations to all the winners of the Second Annual Cooter's Halloween in Hazzard Costume Contest and thank you to everyone who participated. It was twice as big as it was last year and I can't wait to do it again next year. The dates for next year's Hazzard Run have already been set and it will take place on the same weekend in October 2024. Saturday, October 12, 2024 will be the Third Annual Cooter's Halloween in Hazzard Costume Contest. Get working on those costumes now and I'll see you there!</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZY3OtQz2YAP8uJdpXwcywjEEi8EipDYL2PfYrebOEzH9oRppu4DSz5SU6IFczxXCRX9En_BBer5DMUiBr194s_OybHdZcYvhlaphFDyxdTWFXjhKzuHMOaJkJGTO2fTJKpDafgX7nCVRM02fIvp1nsFBmaMiwByRfjZklORNuOr5t2lH5MnFq5XJW57A/s4000/DJI_0523.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZY3OtQz2YAP8uJdpXwcywjEEi8EipDYL2PfYrebOEzH9oRppu4DSz5SU6IFczxXCRX9En_BBer5DMUiBr194s_OybHdZcYvhlaphFDyxdTWFXjhKzuHMOaJkJGTO2fTJKpDafgX7nCVRM02fIvp1nsFBmaMiwByRfjZklORNuOr5t2lH5MnFq5XJW57A/w400-h300/DJI_0523.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Sunday morning saw good enough weather to go to the Shenandoah Speedway with the General Lees.</div><div>A few car owners went and I tagged along with the drone. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSSSj2C0OGGwMn95ICKQ-5C0EskN9lWDdmc17AGQ77wgG8F-egr_aKEah1-wfLOda1Jh3EmyP3UYtm0JZ6E2ueX8DyBTRwPAFvySgtJl5DpxdJ8ENqRNAhiQAEdSv8mbYtQIp8lOC-mBOTCW9pfZGVWyI7QFI__U8GzJiSCzb9JSCOqiyC271JcxHE0Ek/s4000/DJI_0528.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSSSj2C0OGGwMn95ICKQ-5C0EskN9lWDdmc17AGQ77wgG8F-egr_aKEah1-wfLOda1Jh3EmyP3UYtm0JZ6E2ueX8DyBTRwPAFvySgtJl5DpxdJ8ENqRNAhiQAEdSv8mbYtQIp8lOC-mBOTCW9pfZGVWyI7QFI__U8GzJiSCzb9JSCOqiyC271JcxHE0Ek/w400-h300/DJI_0528.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I got some fun video but I'm going to wait and see what James does with it for his youtube channel.

Namely the General Lee being there to celebrate with us!<div> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZuHsWLkpKCRzBUPG8M_nozh4Nd2OO1XWueyblqlVJx_fEjvaZepSh2Vt6lz-ceJv-AviTMPxF2dNVilJ06RHgnKsjlGhUH6fDgA5pj8VgXhPBzc1zj9hiLFbKkatNx_-c57uCj3x-RHRqFEu9y5wspK9FQQQL8xrQi15dGvCs6BTjLYuGX7_VbDslrhM/s3000/A12I7339.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="3000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZuHsWLkpKCRzBUPG8M_nozh4Nd2OO1XWueyblqlVJx_fEjvaZepSh2Vt6lz-ceJv-AviTMPxF2dNVilJ06RHgnKsjlGhUH6fDgA5pj8VgXhPBzc1zj9hiLFbKkatNx_-c57uCj3x-RHRqFEu9y5wspK9FQQQL8xrQi15dGvCs6BTjLYuGX7_VbDslrhM/w400-h266/A12I7339.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A wedding day should be all about the bride.

If I had bought this set and it the blue tape wasn't previously opened, I would have left it sealed, but since I happen to have a VHS capture and editing station set up, I had to throw the tape in and watch the Dukes. I couldn't leave you, my faithful readers, out of the fun, so I captured the outtakes and posted them. Check them out: ***adult language warning***</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UBYdNXMR5_I" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div><br /></div>2:22 of rarely seen Dukes goodness. Honestly, that could have been funnier. I'm sure there were funnier moments captured during production, but maybe this was all that WB kept. It sure would be great to find more Dukes outtakes one day. I watched a little bit of the rest of the tape and it includes MASH, Carol Burnett, Dick Van Dyke, and Johnny Carson bloopers on them, and they were all funnier than the Dukes footage. I didn't see any Wonder Woman, even though she's on the artwork. The package has a copyright date of 1998 on the bottom, but on this video, it says 1987. I'm sure these five tapes were collected in the late '90s, but have been floating around for over a decade before. The whole presentation just screams late night infomercial to me. I'm glad someone watching reruns on the Dukes on TNN called the 800 number on the screen and bought this set and then listed it on ebay twenty-five years later so I could add it to my Dukes collection. I love how that stuff works out. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSfYXMaBuPRoLzEXcze21gt2JulmErZL9lojvTMrnql29ROqM95OJtHCk1kgmP05uwzal82aDaWA9mrPPPYeRf89Q_fyEbaJ8A8UxwtweqaMVYMuQtdFIoO7L4J3DFa45YWBW7XqpAna_sOhkaUTCcPiTo4JI8qA_qH6zngI8ab94Ob2ipd6H-0kd9/s4608/IMG_20221221_151344145.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSfYXMaBuPRoLzEXcze21gt2JulmErZL9lojvTMrnql29ROqM95OJtHCk1kgmP05uwzal82aDaWA9mrPPPYeRf89Q_fyEbaJ8A8UxwtweqaMVYMuQtdFIoO7L4J3DFa45YWBW7XqpAna_sOhkaUTCcPiTo4JI8qA_qH6zngI8ab94Ob2ipd6H-0kd9/w400-h300/IMG_20221221_151344145.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Next up is another bygone era impulse buy.

You may remember the fourth season episode "The Sound of Music - Hazzard Style." In it, Country Music Legend Mickey Gilley performs two songs. His performances aren't the standard celebrity speed trap type concerts where singers like Roy Orbison and the Oak Ridge Boys appeared, but Mickey's time on the show saw him be a part of the plot, similar to the season two episode "Find Loretta Lynn." This copy of the official Mickey Gilley Fan Club Newsletter was released prior to his appearance and lets fans of Mickey know about his then upcoming appearance.

The back has a blurb about the specific episode and has the date stamped. It's from August, 1984 and discusses the season six premiere "Lulu's Gone Away." It also says "Rebroadcast" which makes sense because that episode originally aired in September of '83. It's a little confusing though, because it mentions that the episode will be shown, as a rerun, on Friday, September 17 and doesn't have a year. But in 1984, Sept. 17 was a Monday, and the 17th fell on a Friday in 1982, before that episode was produced. Weird little mystery to figure out. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEsD_LaK97jjaPGawguuJbNTyqm3ILGSuaE4as5KqBr0Ug13h9EYDjUHDA-rKfLyE8ShupUt0otVjqzR6FDMVzMk620lH-_zKc16r77Ra37QaUQTcCOliH4c9N4cB0Br6VFqgq_30A6IpAR2mSc8EoI-YfR1FA4pFmV6nVYX5zjetdiDtVl7qNTqYD/s6016/IMG_20221221_152029113.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEsD_LaK97jjaPGawguuJbNTyqm3ILGSuaE4as5KqBr0Ug13h9EYDjUHDA-rKfLyE8ShupUt0otVjqzR6FDMVzMk620lH-_zKc16r77Ra37QaUQTcCOliH4c9N4cB0Br6VFqgq_30A6IpAR2mSc8EoI-YfR1FA4pFmV6nVYX5zjetdiDtVl7qNTqYD/w400-h300/IMG_20221221_152029113.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>These two were released by TNN to promote the Dukes during the silver era.

I thought the previous TNN press photo that I linked to above was earlier, but this press photo has the older TNN guitar logo and mentions 1996 in a way to suggests it's from 1995. TNN started airing the Dukes on February 5, 1996. This might be the first item produced in the silver era. If you don't remember, the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-eras-of-dukes-of-hazzard.html">eras of Dukes of Hazzard collecting are something I totally made up</a> but have been used by other collectors and Dukes enthusiasts since. The golden era was during the show's initial run and the silver era started when TNN brought the show back and everyone fell in love with it again.

It's unique because a widescreen version of the non-unrated, meaning the standard theatrical version, was not released in the US. The theatrical cut of the movie was only released in "full-screen" format. Both widescreen and full-screen are standard definition. The movie was only released in high def on HD-DVD which is a dead format. The movie has never been released in Blu-ray. Weird. So our friends up north got a version we in the US never did.

It might have been inconsequential or it might have changed my life. You decide. As with most blockbuster movies, there are promotional tie-ins involved with the production. Tie-ins that stick out to me are Johnsonville Brats and Cottman Transmissions. Johnsonville had a presence on set the days I was there with their giant tractor trailer grill called the Big Taste Grill and provided brats for all of us cast and crew. In the scene when we throw hot dogs at Sheev, they are actually brats and the crew made sure none of us called them hot dogs. Later Johnsonville released promotional drink coolies that were given away at the premiere. Casual viewers might have missed the tie-in because Johnsonville is barely visible in the movie. If you are watching, there's a really good chance you thought we were throwing hot dogs at Sheev. Cottman's tie-in wasn't in featured in the movie, but they sponsored a NASCAR racecar that featured the Dukes movie logo during one race. There was also a 1/64 diecast of the Cottman NASCAR that was available when you purchased a tune-up at a Cottman location. You can read about that car <a href="http://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2018/11/new-dukes-items-11302018-dukes-movie.html">on this post</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI7S9-r7-ThipvHXmPyZW8PH4kH5eIdRViI8I6dsS6PmM_w0fFjZ4VubpH024tQJN1hio-BxKHh9bBVZhmQ6iX7u_J_UPoqBi9LuqYYueDsIz5QgMZSzxEKKph41ND3qg5dxabKm8KCwwRmH-bTX5QuzpriPL2fd_6W5gA70blbzNrVqu6CRcbCw3A/s720/2239696_orig%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="540" data-original-width="720" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI7S9-r7-ThipvHXmPyZW8PH4kH5eIdRViI8I6dsS6PmM_w0fFjZ4VubpH024tQJN1hio-BxKHh9bBVZhmQ6iX7u_J_UPoqBi9LuqYYueDsIz5QgMZSzxEKKph41ND3qg5dxabKm8KCwwRmH-bTX5QuzpriPL2fd_6W5gA70blbzNrVqu6CRcbCw3A/w400-h300/2239696_orig%20(1).jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpmjJ5GrH3GAja6adKYA-FK-bMmjcSJk2pfKLH349ulFqtSWTHxdtW1TISUBzTyvYFDT9JUL-Jje2GVvYy4igpSelEVwOH0jy5cl9ElctZzNBEqViORHouFn-U9zf4PXPPdsMfg3aiFTJd_HFNrF6L8I1CeBx6HHrFUazAdCXO3tK9hOarAOua9Phc/s1422/mustang.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="784" data-original-width="1422" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpmjJ5GrH3GAja6adKYA-FK-bMmjcSJk2pfKLH349ulFqtSWTHxdtW1TISUBzTyvYFDT9JUL-Jje2GVvYy4igpSelEVwOH0jy5cl9ElctZzNBEqViORHouFn-U9zf4PXPPdsMfg3aiFTJd_HFNrF6L8I1CeBx6HHrFUazAdCXO3tK9hOarAOua9Phc/w400-h220/mustang.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div>There's a joke about product placement in the movie that includes huge brands that aren't actually involved in the promotion of the movie. When we first see Billy Prickett's 23 Mustang racecar, it has Coca-Cola and Yahoo prominently displayed all over it. But Boss Hogg decides to plaster his face on the car in an effort to distract the fine people of Hazzard and keep them all at the race track so no one disputes his effort to strip mine most of the county. Billy has all the logos on his jacket throughout the movie. Along with Coca-Cola and Yahoo, there's also Doritos, Ford, Castrol and BFGoodrich. What you don't see, unfortunately, is the actual movie promotional partner, Rhino Linings. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj65uqrpHFgqukjLGJSEIGtUhJbCspYYnluun0Nj2nuEGNncusFd_me1uDlVgOMGFEb_aMJF8iXnqnpV5pejhneOeEBlPu-TNqHR3E-BkgXCUSnA3zKAtW0tZFHs8V0bNHjdOgGQfqY3X2sndEkW4lLebdaW2emGFy7VdzPrf9JsdFIp_mBJQu-wVfG/s6016/IMG_20221221_132123098.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj65uqrpHFgqukjLGJSEIGtUhJbCspYYnluun0Nj2nuEGNncusFd_me1uDlVgOMGFEb_aMJF8iXnqnpV5pejhneOeEBlPu-TNqHR3E-BkgXCUSnA3zKAtW0tZFHs8V0bNHjdOgGQfqY3X2sndEkW4lLebdaW2emGFy7VdzPrf9JsdFIp_mBJQu-wVfG/s6016/IMG_20221221_132123098.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-oSSORc1FpG6awJ1e5hZXTZEQUCJk5GfRevNzMD3ciisZsRV2dTsOXBpXgx742V_vXS8-cMS7Bfe4-oYGVbewm7xoi2ShHcRb4ly5QTacnGNlqBUFdGSSC3bY_902lia-k8wOACoG107_QzfMAr_Z9KGHPniCeNijlLrSqhgEJR3G6fciuEYv-fgH/s320/Rhino%20Liner%20screenshot.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-oSSORc1FpG6awJ1e5hZXTZEQUCJk5GfRevNzMD3ciisZsRV2dTsOXBpXgx742V_vXS8-cMS7Bfe4-oYGVbewm7xoi2ShHcRb4ly5QTacnGNlqBUFdGSSC3bY_902lia-k8wOACoG107_QzfMAr_Z9KGHPniCeNijlLrSqhgEJR3G6fciuEYv-fgH/w400-h300/Rhino%20Liner%20screenshot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div></div><div><br /></div>All those other companies were included because they are so big and so well known that it was meant to make Billy's character seem like the best driver with the best sponsors. But Rhino Liners was actually paying to be in the movie and you can barely see them. I only know which scene they are in because I know every scene in the movie and know the Rhino Linings vehicle. When Bo gets the idea that Boss Hogg must be scamming Billy and that he can't possibly be in on the scheme (spoiler alert: Billy is in on it) he pulls the General Lee in front of Billy and his crew. Billy and Dil are seen driving a pickup and behind them is a super duty truck with a off road vehicle and a tractor trailer. The off road vehicle is Rhino Linings' promotional vehicle called the Rhino Linings Off-Road RTV. Above is the best shot of the RTV. It's a shame because Rhino Linings had high hopes for the vehicle to be prominently featured in the movie. How do I know this? Because they put out press releases saying so. </div><div><br /></div><div>To promote the movie, Rhino Linings sponsored a cross-country tour that included the General Lee, the Rhino RTV and the Rhino Linings Pit Crew Truck. That may be the truck in the above scene, but I can't be sure.

Pictures' The Dukes of Hazzard:</p><p style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem;">Set in present day, The Dukes of Hazzard follows the adventures of "good old boy" cousins Bo (Seann William Scott) and Luke (Johnny Knoxville) Duke, who with the help of their eye-catching cousin, Daisy (Jessica Simpson) and moonshine-running Uncle Jesse (Willie Nelson), try and save the family farm from being destroyed by Hazzard County's corrupt commissioner, Boss Hogg (Burt Reynolds). Their efforts constantly find the "Duke Boys" eluding authorities in "The General Lee," their famed 1969 orange Dodge Charger that keeps them one step ahead of the dimwitted antics of the small southern town's Sheriff, Roscoe P. Coltrane (M. C. Gainey). The Dukes of Hazzard is rated PG-13 for sexual content, crude and drug-related humor, language and comic action.</p></div><div><br /></div><div><header style="background-color: white; border-bottom: 4px solid rgb(237, 28, 36); box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;"><h1 class="title text-primary" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #213469; font-family: "Roboto Condensed", sans-serif; font-size: 36px; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.1; margin: 0px 0px 0.3em; text-transform: uppercase;">RHINO LININGS USA TAKES THE GENERAL LEE ON TOUR, OFFERS SWEEPS</h1><div class="date-author" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #b1b2b4; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px 0px 0.3em;">Posted on <time datetime="2005-07-21T15:37:00-04:00" pubdate="pubdate" style="box-sizing: border-box;">July 21, 2005</time> by <span class="author" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a data-feathr-click-track="true" data-feathr-link-aids="["543db492bbd9f50a23f46ce5"]" href="https://chiefmarketer.com/author/sscott-ormanageraccessintel-com/" style="background: 0px 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #213469; text-decoration-line: none;">Chief Marketer Staff</a></span></div></header><div class="content clearfix" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; padding: 1em;"><div class="theiaPostSlider_slides" id="tps_slideContainer_69011" style="box-sizing: border-box; clear: left; list-style: none; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; position: relative;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; overflow: hidden;"><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px;">Rhino Linings USA is taking that infamous orange Dodge Charger, The General Lee, for a spin as part of a multi-city tour to promote the upcoming release of Warner Bros.

I'm guessing the marketing department wasn't too happy when their logo was barely seen in the final cut. They might have been in the Chinese Theater watching the movie for the first time just like I was at the World Premiere. They probably didn't have as much fun as I did. To be honest, I had no idea the above mentioned tour took place. I tried to be as connected as possible to the movie and everything that came with it in the summer of 2005, but somehow the Rhino Linings tour slipped passed my radar. I only found out about it while doing research on this awesome new addition to the collection. So what exactly is this new addition and why did I go in to such detail about Rhino Linings and the movie tie-ins? Because, gentle reader, this final piece in today's blog post is an awesome promotional movie tie-in that wasn't meant for public release and is absolutely incredible! </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdcYPK86dKTR7o0DNtGRWjlDp5EQxgUY5FdgNxFAvYM80mgJgn1e8FtIwr2XwE-VvHTKRL1zdnLf6JhTlgeevLOufcMgbD20FF5eFo-mFUIU67lPzF5zdzbSJJMwbpuidNSpMVFQjbe7My9CN5iR_m_GyqLsPI14e5D2MRRFWn5bE2qqYCcSJiMzVY/s6016/IMG_20221230_132431248.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6016" data-original-width="4512" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdcYPK86dKTR7o0DNtGRWjlDp5EQxgUY5FdgNxFAvYM80mgJgn1e8FtIwr2XwE-VvHTKRL1zdnLf6JhTlgeevLOufcMgbD20FF5eFo-mFUIU67lPzF5zdzbSJJMwbpuidNSpMVFQjbe7My9CN5iR_m_GyqLsPI14e5D2MRRFWn5bE2qqYCcSJiMzVY/w300-h400/IMG_20221230_132431248.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div><br /></div>But before we get into the incredible new addition, let's fill in one blank from the above press release. While doing research about the Rhino Linings General Lee tour, I read in the press release that attendees of the tour received a free Dukes of Hazzard t-shirt. My first thought was, I got to find one of those t-shirts! While discussing my research with a family member, I remembered that I already had the t-shirt and I even remembered where it was! I think I just had to say it out loud for my brain to put the pieces together. I went to an area of the collection that has a lot of unorganized Dukes clothing and found the giveaway shirt. <div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGzbEvdNOOMoafIZIytLrW3tFtqKyNZBHetOU-GlRC0U66sE_2P5y3DB7hhfUo501LDAJwykNOYK8okwRC7drrUUG_-lhMyJwRpYTP_P5O8a-WvDYZszU2mtvKD-dbDiNrIpQQcLIfhEtx2Kusu6pOPmxVyOtMdjSgIU97nqOmjIJt8loeNkdS_UN6/s6016/IMG_20221230_132435673.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGzbEvdNOOMoafIZIytLrW3tFtqKyNZBHetOU-GlRC0U66sE_2P5y3DB7hhfUo501LDAJwykNOYK8okwRC7drrUUG_-lhMyJwRpYTP_P5O8a-WvDYZszU2mtvKD-dbDiNrIpQQcLIfhEtx2Kusu6pOPmxVyOtMdjSgIU97nqOmjIJt8loeNkdS_UN6/w400-h300/IMG_20221230_132435673.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I also remembered that I blogged about the shirt as was a little surprised that I bought this thing way back in 2013 and that it's been sitting in the same general area all that time.

As seen in the the photo above this one, there is a Simpson logo, Simpson is the manufacturer of the race wear, then a large Rhino Linings logo, complete with a Rhinoceros design that <a href="http://teddyandtheyeti.blogspot.com">Jeffrey</a> would love, and Rhino Lining's slogan. Below the slogan is a web address that is, sadly, no longer active. I wonder what fantastic Macromedia Flash based brilliance that mid two-thousands website had to offer. </div><div><br /></div><div>Below the Rhino Linings info is the biggest Dukes of Hazzard movie logo embrodary I've ever seen. Stare at it in all its glory! We know the difference in the 2005 movie logo is the large underlining Z beneath the title. The logo is silvery and shiny. It's really something special. Below the logo is WB's legal info and the release date of the movie. The pit crew that worked the General Lee tour were walking billboards for Rhino Linings and the Dukes movie. But I guess the same can be said for NASCAR drivers and pit crew. Someone has to pay the bills.</div><div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijpEbD34K5BajE7rHtUlrOXuwFu_qOCmHo_2VPddjHn6ju328wiixLvxcXMPKDW1-6HUFBJDOELMuCWOV51yQwrIIDuJRmGVpNdeiINHjdC6Tqr5HnhzajQvSpC4sDikyVgzp8ayoI20gae5AurxuQ8ZNRY4pLIVuF_KlsGrE2nwF6xizaAgmGb4bf/s6016/IMG_20221221_132128339.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijpEbD34K5BajE7rHtUlrOXuwFu_qOCmHo_2VPddjHn6ju328wiixLvxcXMPKDW1-6HUFBJDOELMuCWOV51yQwrIIDuJRmGVpNdeiINHjdC6Tqr5HnhzajQvSpC4sDikyVgzp8ayoI20gae5AurxuQ8ZNRY4pLIVuF_KlsGrE2nwF6xizaAgmGb4bf/w400-h300/IMG_20221221_132128339.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The front has the same Rhino Linings logo and the web address on it. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis3mtNUbzYS8TastRZTKzwsDepwpy2qYtF4eHyJe4hyqaaI4OEqXWVG4dF0Yfl_vBUvYS_lk5dFjdGhE2Z0L_c0qPcPIXRfay2Io6H-Ovmw7k_dwe-bum_-8dPLxgbht6uzvFzlVZPgada77ZWQSV_clWPdudJOOhGYIPQAQVYeNmXPEMyJvuKwSx8/s6016/IMG_20221221_132131784.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis3mtNUbzYS8TastRZTKzwsDepwpy2qYtF4eHyJe4hyqaaI4OEqXWVG4dF0Yfl_vBUvYS_lk5dFjdGhE2Z0L_c0qPcPIXRfay2Io6H-Ovmw7k_dwe-bum_-8dPLxgbht6uzvFzlVZPgada77ZWQSV_clWPdudJOOhGYIPQAQVYeNmXPEMyJvuKwSx8/w400-h300/IMG_20221221_132131784.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Dukes logo is smaller on the front but still as shiny.

In addition to selling their spray on liner product, Rhino Linings also used the tour as an opportunity to sell credit to buy their product. The white circular patch is a logo for the Rough Terrain Vehicle, or the RTV that is mentioned in the press release, is barely visible in the movie, and featured along side the General Lee in the tour. Below that is artwork for a Rhino Linings credit card. My favorite part, obviously, is the inclusion of Bo Duke on the card. Rhino Linings went the extra mile and added one of our two favorite Duke Boys on the card. That could be my favorite part of the whole uniform. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif7PEUB1doIJmG2YBpBi-HVYv0hEU5DdsPiWf0msCwalcVFaxt2Z_CMVz5UQ5fTVQVpobQOkImBQ0vKu0Dkzt5by4MSwUNmVL49TM1LQ0Q4rCG_hv08eYoelBp0xmheI6ttvYsgF6HEcjuvQoi-fPXk3_sxv33KaF0G2kqICfF62dDrPpBihaTIKsG/w400-h300/IMG_20221221_131914537.jpg" width="400" /></div><div><br /></div>The accoutrements don't stop there.

It is such a unique piece. I would have to imagine only a handful of these were made. They could only be, what, four or five pit crew members on the entire tour? Of those, how may would keep their uniforms? And then how many would later sell them to a rabid Dukes Collector? I would have to think if any more of these exist, they are in the Rhino Linings marketing department storage facilities, right? Having this suit, along with the giveaway t-shirt, makes me think I have the entirety of the Rhino Linings Dukes of Hazzard offerings, except of course the RTV that was given away. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJXiJesFrgKL4oO3jGrb9UkR07MpumdUjesj0KodaeLXPbUXOgyN1VJlFIIS7ai7t5tTzVBHbAd4FWSLCvmUg8tgp76_UVFVwhjYdJ3Cfk9LPAPkGcnmIJK51t69Pj_VuePBQfeCyZjiH9SSqWrBRLiuncA5qRlG3eNobJkmM0uIIj2VKJeMzZ4piy/s6016/IMG_20221221_144012037.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJXiJesFrgKL4oO3jGrb9UkR07MpumdUjesj0KodaeLXPbUXOgyN1VJlFIIS7ai7t5tTzVBHbAd4FWSLCvmUg8tgp76_UVFVwhjYdJ3Cfk9LPAPkGcnmIJK51t69Pj_VuePBQfeCyZjiH9SSqWrBRLiuncA5qRlG3eNobJkmM0uIIj2VKJeMzZ4piy/w400-h300/IMG_20221221_144012037.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These three wearable Dukes of Hazzard items, one custom, one from the golden era, and one used for marketing at the beginning of the modern era, are all very special.

I'm so happy I have these three items in my and can't wait to find more unique pieces like these to add to the collection. </div>Larry Frankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17949715226150725642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809545378535908228.post-8397461356209392302022-12-06T16:05:00.000-05:002022-12-06T16:05:25.008-05:00Tamkin Autograph Cards - Officially Licensed Autograph Mailouts and Dukes Postcards<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74I1pDcbxDn2Fxd5AQS9zxZYcpqrg68RX8j0rPk7XJojiNwTsVnt84OAA_x7oKaebSeRZfBcGWEpiV1-GwN8XeFo8hSO3BX99TmWLGgc2NVuMb8cSYo75Wp18s04tZXb-uyNKKWLx0cwBE2pvP-Ar4rqdWEyAQfpU0sBT3tVf6xqE6hUPnm-zcAjZ/s2643/group.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1982" data-original-width="2643" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74I1pDcbxDn2Fxd5AQS9zxZYcpqrg68RX8j0rPk7XJojiNwTsVnt84OAA_x7oKaebSeRZfBcGWEpiV1-GwN8XeFo8hSO3BX99TmWLGgc2NVuMb8cSYo75Wp18s04tZXb-uyNKKWLx0cwBE2pvP-Ar4rqdWEyAQfpU0sBT3tVf6xqE6hUPnm-zcAjZ/w400-h300/group.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We are all aware that during the original run of the show, Dukes of Hazzard was incredibly popular. It was the second most watched show on television for several seasons and was number one for more than several weeks during those seasons. The Dukes of Hazzard was hot. Everyone wanted a piece of the show and the stars. The cast received fan mail in huge quantities. With so much mail coming in, it wasn't always possible to respond to the letters and post cards, but our heroes couldn't disappoint their fans! That's where Tamkin comes in. In this post I'll show off the complete collection of Dukes of Hazzard Tamkin autograph cards as well as a few other autograph and postcards and give a little history on Tamkin. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0TsZCWC8RX0aGc92H298tjR_f3fx-n_S_UNuCQdMiL_0AVpv4QXGosbotUVQlfPPyDjGxtk3euIlbOGtb2bl-d8nWfBVUuaKirVajCLq3RxYqyHXuYrfi2NEl5AJM378oPbgc-X9XLXDKttpalm0XdJTaii2uCgN5TnAaFmdsXoqPuXO-jruvUlsD/s450/jpt.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="375" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0TsZCWC8RX0aGc92H298tjR_f3fx-n_S_UNuCQdMiL_0AVpv4QXGosbotUVQlfPPyDjGxtk3euIlbOGtb2bl-d8nWfBVUuaKirVajCLq3RxYqyHXuYrfi2NEl5AJM378oPbgc-X9XLXDKttpalm0XdJTaii2uCgN5TnAaFmdsXoqPuXO-jruvUlsD/w334-h400/jpt.png" width="334" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Before email and twitter, the only way to interact with your favorite stars was a good old letter. Some time before the Dukes came around, Jack Tamkin opened Tamkin Color, which later became Studio Fan Mail. Jack built a business receiving and replying to fan mail. He was contracted by studios and stars to read and answer each piece of mail, and he took his job very seriously. Though his interaction level differed depending on the show, movie, star, or studio, Jack and his company had a mission never to let a fan feel ignored. Jack worked with Henry Winkler during Happy Days and was still sending out star's pictures into the 2000s when Hollywood started to push interaction online. Jack was a pioneer and highly valued in the industry. From what I can gather, Jack already had a working relationship with Warner Bros. by the time Dukes came around and he began sending out autograph cards when the show became red hot. Jack passed away in 2014.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There are a total of thirteen different Dukes of Hazzard Tamkin autograph cards and some are much harder to find than others. I did a lot of searching and comparing to track them all down. Unlike most pictures I post to the blog, I took an extra step and added watermarks to these images. These are scans of the original cards and it would be too easily for Boss Hogg like characters to steal these beautiful images and sell them as their own, so I watermarked them all up. Sorry Boss! Let's take a look at all the Dukes Tamkin cards.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDq_6Pm7Kz2Q-c_zrya4ZNDuVPsU6Kpvr5qKlz01ZRrgcywKi418sOq_Mp7JNmF1bHSvpN_HZuZCEkUECaWg67FIStZImfppjqPbj5ZgfXWAOkKFgdJCqHclNRotsH4Bzjq7FmhxpOVflfG_Htz7WPr-FiFiy7IiPDDPO3vMxquiM4eXoz_tE9rbpa/s6556/1%20Tree%20standard%20F.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6556" data-original-width="4082" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDq_6Pm7Kz2Q-c_zrya4ZNDuVPsU6Kpvr5qKlz01ZRrgcywKi418sOq_Mp7JNmF1bHSvpN_HZuZCEkUECaWg67FIStZImfppjqPbj5ZgfXWAOkKFgdJCqHclNRotsH4Bzjq7FmhxpOVflfG_Htz7WPr-FiFiy7IiPDDPO3vMxquiM4eXoz_tE9rbpa/w398-h640/1%20Tree%20standard%20F.jpg" width="398" /></a></div><p><br /></p>The first card, and most common, happens to be from my favorite photoshoot. This image, that was taken after Enos left the show, is one of the most iconic group shots of the cast of the Dukes of Hazzard. Like I said before, the actual card does not have the text "Property of Warner Bros. Scanned by DukesCollector" over and over again on it, I just had to add that for security. This picture was taken in early '81. I have a feeling the cast was responding to their own fan mail for a little while during the beginning of the show, and Tamkin was brought in when it started to get out of control. They used the best possible picture. <p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMBRd1rY1LLPFRSGjIh39c6IFagmPV7O6vkKyYX9EOqOamHJAfO6EJ2tJJ7sJ_NDaXCi0v6dhXaufa6fDhDz3OrHk8b1iCJt5Ny9iQEwCDjpd3WQM8KrqZj0NZL-UvhzrPIFmimPXPQT7d9UUGRtqdDeNTME-wLQ0dBbrTN-z2n5GKtIr3qZYE64RM/s6536/1b%20Tree%20standard%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6536" data-original-width="4084" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMBRd1rY1LLPFRSGjIh39c6IFagmPV7O6vkKyYX9EOqOamHJAfO6EJ2tJJ7sJ_NDaXCi0v6dhXaufa6fDhDz3OrHk8b1iCJt5Ny9iQEwCDjpd3WQM8KrqZj0NZL-UvhzrPIFmimPXPQT7d9UUGRtqdDeNTME-wLQ0dBbrTN-z2n5GKtIr3qZYE64RM/w400-h640/1b%20Tree%20standard%20B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>The other side of the card has a printed reproduction of the casts' autographs. Everyone also added a note. The autographs include "All Best Wishes!" from Tom Wopat, "Yee Haa!!! from John Schneider, "Love You Lots" from Catherine Bach with xox and a smiley face, "Best Always Denver Pyle Jesse Duke," "Hey Y'all!" from Ben Jones, and Cooter 10-4, "Keep your Dukes up! from Rick Hurst "Cletus," "Don't take no wodden nickels" from Sorrell Booke "Boss Hogg," and "I love it I love it" from James Best "Rosco."</p><p>Autographs really don't change much in forty years. I watched Ben, Catherine, Tom, John, Rick and James sign these same autographs countless times and many times include the same or similar notes. The bottom of the card includes the WB Television logo as well as "Tamkin Color 8909." Unfortunately the number doesn't mean much to us as not all the cards are numbered. This is the most common Tamkin card. I've seen these cards pop up all over and bought them in bulk. My guess is this is the one Tamkin printed the most of. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizGsOmVcMHKv9OB_HUVAOSqgkNxrQDVN8IIFvSEYJNe14fcnlj8k1mFsotxJoWuWDbIdS8X3uA1BsvHVBZfBNHtP9ijmPsZEdl6T9y1q2SEw4dSgCRPB7VCMMpagNPJS9-e3yPYRjmHfLfdqOthbpFFzURGR9D3ZtJmF9HjMQ645-_wZbpFw_a_oEd/s6560/2%20Tree%20no%20autos%20F.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6560" data-original-width="4060" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizGsOmVcMHKv9OB_HUVAOSqgkNxrQDVN8IIFvSEYJNe14fcnlj8k1mFsotxJoWuWDbIdS8X3uA1BsvHVBZfBNHtP9ijmPsZEdl6T9y1q2SEw4dSgCRPB7VCMMpagNPJS9-e3yPYRjmHfLfdqOthbpFFzURGR9D3ZtJmF9HjMQ645-_wZbpFw_a_oEd/w397-h640/2%20Tree%20no%20autos%20F.jpg" width="397" /></a></div><p>I don't know when the different cards were produced, or why there are variations, but the second card is a variation.

Quickly glancing at the card, you would think it's the same image used on the above two cards. Then you start to notice things. What jumped out at me is Daisy is laughing, hard. Something really made her bust out. Then you start to notice some other differences like Boss's mouth is slightly more open, and Rosco is trying not to laugh. Luke has his head back a little and Flash isn't looking up. Bo looks like he is laughing more in this one too. There are some aspects of both images that seem like better shots. I guess they thought each was good enough to release so they put out both. I think the "laughing Daisy variant" is the rarest of the three. </p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggsFMSy8s0sK5pYiEz5GU6h28y8A4PfCrjjyejhuDLcRsyQddPdrov95qrliBbFCLwEPuQiLR6xTSoCQiBFy2nA30bo7ABtghO3-nH3GnoxVH4bmZHpGsWNnLMlv5KDCYGz8gOmwt22NWK3nqDEigLc1VN3vYO-2X-A78X9fli9pcAxgx-jP3sIj2i/s6538/3b%20Tree%20Diasy%20laugh%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6538" data-original-width="4096" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggsFMSy8s0sK5pYiEz5GU6h28y8A4PfCrjjyejhuDLcRsyQddPdrov95qrliBbFCLwEPuQiLR6xTSoCQiBFy2nA30bo7ABtghO3-nH3GnoxVH4bmZHpGsWNnLMlv5KDCYGz8gOmwt22NWK3nqDEigLc1VN3vYO-2X-A78X9fli9pcAxgx-jP3sIj2i/w400-h640/3b%20Tree%20Diasy%20laugh%20B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p>The back is identical to card 1, except it does not have a number after Tamkin Color. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9sZoAyNzcpY6n_N_63m1gFZK7PPLTLEiTGhehnvTcVtNgMrnUNqqjGgPF6GLL4R_lLsD9bUh-qTLJlAK1cLAaEfkYqhJ3LnnqMxSNu0xFIphUL_Uc-abfUWkgkydC9w1hUen4QrDs9XsJAr_4qwRiAO0BdY4VdBN_1nkXl4HlKYyiwkBL_wIGRVmF/s6584/4%20Courthouse%20w%20Flash%20F.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6584" data-original-width="4092" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9sZoAyNzcpY6n_N_63m1gFZK7PPLTLEiTGhehnvTcVtNgMrnUNqqjGgPF6GLL4R_lLsD9bUh-qTLJlAK1cLAaEfkYqhJ3LnnqMxSNu0xFIphUL_Uc-abfUWkgkydC9w1hUen4QrDs9XsJAr_4qwRiAO0BdY4VdBN_1nkXl4HlKYyiwkBL_wIGRVmF/w398-h640/4%20Courthouse%20w%20Flash%20F.jpg" width="398" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The next card is another group shot.

A big orange main character. With most Dukes of Hazzard items, conventional logic tells you that if there's a Coy and Vance version of something, there was first a Dukes of Hazzard version. I'm not certain the Bo and Luke versions of this card came first. The reason I think that is because, as you'll see later in this post, there are individual Coy and Vance Tamkin cards and not Bo and Luke ones. The Tamkin card campaign could have started during Warner Bros.'s big media push to assure the world not to panic when John and Tom left the show. It's very likely these cards were produced to make the fans feel like Hazzard wasn't changing for the worse during the fall of 1983 and then once the world went back to normal, in Hazzard at least, they continued making these with Bo and Luke replacing Coy and Vance. None of them are dated so I don't know if that's the case, but it might be. Regardless, I'm going to start with the Bo and Luke version of the General Lee card. </div><div><br /></div><div>The front of the card features a glorious shot of the big orange main character in flight. Like the group by the tree image used on the first card, his image was used on a <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2019/11/new-dukes-stuff-11192019-third-raincoat.html">National Picture and Frame Co. picture that was sold framed</a>. During the episode that shows this particular jump, there is a Daisy mannequin in the passenger seat and the head almost falls out the window and it's pretty funny. You can sort of make it out in this image. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaV6g4A3qvzlXmZKi02ODPdWa_FpsUZl2NRaBpmrPbQQID1rnRE5B_d8HGFGJ6xH2ZxRvKJ4m9q81Z0FWnZhGkS_SfXFpHFKav1zilLyuJCyZ4aiur4rHA-l0JeEABFj-cDo5OeedyK0UKK-Fm6xcCpX-I4nhBzaYf1mssKqXSMbhfspmXoFsj0Sg3/s6590/6b%20General%20Lee%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4060" data-original-width="6590" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaV6g4A3qvzlXmZKi02ODPdWa_FpsUZl2NRaBpmrPbQQID1rnRE5B_d8HGFGJ6xH2ZxRvKJ4m9q81Z0FWnZhGkS_SfXFpHFKav1zilLyuJCyZ4aiur4rHA-l0JeEABFj-cDo5OeedyK0UKK-Fm6xcCpX-I4nhBzaYf1mssKqXSMbhfspmXoFsj0Sg3/w400-h246/6b%20General%20Lee%20B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The back of the card is full of fun information about the General Lee.

There is a lot to take in here. First, I find it interesting the "the" is left out of the quotes in that sentence. The actual title of the show is "The Dukes of Hazzard" even though "the" is commonly left out when speaking the title. It's hard to find many licensed products that don't include the "the." That's splitting hairs. What's really interesting is the tire track autograph. There is a Dukes (the Dukes?) legend that says the General Lee got just as much fan mail as the cast of the show. The existence of this card proves that. But the legend also says that produces of the show would run over pictures of the car to send to fans. That legend was made popular in the pages of TV Guide. It seems a lot of what fans believe to be facts were popularized by TV Guide as it was one of the biggest sources of TV info during the time of the Dukes. But many of these legends were strengthened by David Hofstede in his Unofficial Dukes of Hazzard companion that relied heavily on early TV Guide articles. I knew I sure took everything he wrote as Gospel when I was first deep diving in to Dukes of Hazzard lore in the late '90s. Much of David's info was correct, but I'm pretty sure the producers of the show had more important things to do than drive a General over pictures for fans. The picture would get dirty and bent up anyway. I think this particular legend came from this exact Tamkin card and grew out of control. I'm not saying there weren't a few pictures driven over at some point, but they definitely weren't mass produced, or mass run over, and if there were, I would have seen evidence of one during my years of collecting. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKuES7sNwjursa6P6f0Z96BjAJKjGAYJv-gTNZDyt7a4ZTA8T5cDIGFSlSpgUE2J2XJdK-eldhnrHUlI0DG6e6oHH3CoWQ-5ZoevLKs8mbbZ6wlToy3tQFAdhnEdHFgaR87EM3abZLU2jXIlBCwoJ7Gwh3yY9cvMH-mlICZ73HlsJzUHeN4DV68lEW/s6548/7b%20General%20Lee%20w%20tracks%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4086" data-original-width="6548" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKuES7sNwjursa6P6f0Z96BjAJKjGAYJv-gTNZDyt7a4ZTA8T5cDIGFSlSpgUE2J2XJdK-eldhnrHUlI0DG6e6oHH3CoWQ-5ZoevLKs8mbbZ6wlToy3tQFAdhnEdHFgaR87EM3abZLU2jXIlBCwoJ7Gwh3yY9cvMH-mlICZ73HlsJzUHeN4DV68lEW/w400-h250/7b%20General%20Lee%20w%20tracks%20B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The back of the tire track General Lee card is the same as the non-tire track card except it names Coy and Vance instead of Bo and Luke.

Is has a line down the center implying it's a standard postcard. It includes Tamkin Color on the bottom with no number or WB. I've become quite close to Ben over the years and might have a little insight as to why this card doesn't include a reproduction autograph. I would not be surprised if Ben wanted the card blank so he could sign each one sent out individually. Ben loves signing autographs for his fans and I bet he took the time to read each piece of fan mail and respond by hand. We all know that's just the kind of guy Ben is. We love Ben Jones!</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyKFPDC7o5BHFqlS474HrQaS5jZ7PgcHsH_Ior0KEuhs24E8Uwf0UiuwB3FhN_sipGZeqnE0JQrrWBKpWsjCNoCFJUe71CQYs2v-1eB71WILQifxPdDqMtXKZu8xYouhqL-tfET2JsvgK_GDOChG5qnqVARpiUFa7072arkwEFbU4FjEqMRLypAIRf/s6556/10%20BW%20Cast%20F.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4108" data-original-width="6556" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyKFPDC7o5BHFqlS474HrQaS5jZ7PgcHsH_Ior0KEuhs24E8Uwf0UiuwB3FhN_sipGZeqnE0JQrrWBKpWsjCNoCFJUe71CQYs2v-1eB71WILQifxPdDqMtXKZu8xYouhqL-tfET2JsvgK_GDOChG5qnqVARpiUFa7072arkwEFbU4FjEqMRLypAIRf/w400-h251/10%20BW%20Cast%20F.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Now this is where it get's interesting. As I wrote before, I'm under the impression that the Tamkin cards came into play during the Coy and Vance era to appease the jaded minds of the fans that were upset when Tom and John were no longer behind the wheel of the General Lee. Or as part of the media push to appease those minds before they were jaded by seeing new Dukes when they were expecting the same Dukes. But if the cards were being produced for the upcoming shock of season five, they continued to be produced through season five and beyond. After eighteen grueling episodes without Bo and Luke, out favorite Duke Boys returned to take the keys to the General back from Coy and Vance. The fans rejoiced and so did the producers. There were quite a few Dukes collectibles that switched from Bo and Luke to Coy and Vance including the Mego action figures, the lunch box, and some Gordy toys. There's not many products that include both pairs of cousins on the same item. The only thing I can think of is the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-dukes-of-hazzard-gone-racin-book.html">Dukes Novel, Gone Racin'.</a> This Tamkin card, that's the only black and white card, is one of the only Warner Bros. licensed products that includes all four Duke Boys. It's quite an item. It clearly came out after the next couple of cards, because they are pure Coy and Vance era items, but I had to highlight it first. In the image we see Boss standing beside Cooter and Luke. Cooter has his arm around Boss and his other around Coy. Coy and Vance are arm in arm and Vance has his other arm around Uncle Jesse. Luke, Daisy and Bo are seated in the center and Enos is behind Bo. Rosco is seated in the corner with Flash. The fact that the three main Duke cousins are sitting on director style chairs, even though the picture is taken in front of the Dukes farm, really gives it a "behind the scenes" feel. Everyone is smiling in the picture. Years ago I would make the argument that Tom doesn't look genuinely happy because the other Dukes are there, but in the past few years I've worked side by side with Tom and Byron and I no longer prescribe to the grumpy Wopat theories. I'm sure this was an uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone because they didn't know what would happen next. The existence of this officially licensed photo suggests that maybe Warner Bros. had plans to keep Coy and Vance around for a while instead of doing what we all know they did, immediately showing them the door. I'm as happy as anyone that Bo and Luke came back, but wouldn't have it been cool to check in on the other Duke Boys a few times over the next two seasons? Maybe Bo and Luke needed help here and there and an Avengers style team up would have been great. I digress. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4BQ0lKUZOxJZWLhMeKsfzbQmnSoD6akoIAirRO5cYDaC7-0E8f0Z7XJWkLZz8kpQX08W9ue7ZWE-YMA7jmo3EGvdFx1t86w9_IZ5WVi_bGFg5q7_SRAYHTz79jCmHDDeAcsn6B33IKO6tOBr6sIM0T9Ya-QI5ttt5PdDY2zylAlRCdS45sa4bNAQp/s6522/10b%20BW%20Cast%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6522" data-original-width="4094" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4BQ0lKUZOxJZWLhMeKsfzbQmnSoD6akoIAirRO5cYDaC7-0E8f0Z7XJWkLZz8kpQX08W9ue7ZWE-YMA7jmo3EGvdFx1t86w9_IZ5WVi_bGFg5q7_SRAYHTz79jCmHDDeAcsn6B33IKO6tOBr6sIM0T9Ya-QI5ttt5PdDY2zylAlRCdS45sa4bNAQp/w402-h640/10b%20BW%20Cast%20B.jpg" width="402" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The back of the card included everyone shown on the front. That's a lot of autographs. Tom and John are at the top and the signatures are the same ones used on the other cards. This card is very rare and I didn't know it existed until recently. It's a fun, unique piece of Dukes history and shows that maybe there were inklings of future plans for the New Dukes. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1txKGVziaPjeF-sMUnJ7w-G0jeJHkdmkHmhIiEsRpUK4vVgNM_cx0ksmFnZxSNsyqJurMsDNv52J8unb1bqLG-Vy9OFquKvAhK7XnypvNs7fRKwJ5ntCYNer7GsMaDEPQOcNa_iMaqLN44qm8KAbZy8x6N769Aooa86xqhIr8v93NzxuGbFw542sU/s6570/11%20CV%20Cast%20w%20Cletus%20F.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4054" data-original-width="6570" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1txKGVziaPjeF-sMUnJ7w-G0jeJHkdmkHmhIiEsRpUK4vVgNM_cx0ksmFnZxSNsyqJurMsDNv52J8unb1bqLG-Vy9OFquKvAhK7XnypvNs7fRKwJ5ntCYNer7GsMaDEPQOcNa_iMaqLN44qm8KAbZy8x6N769Aooa86xqhIr8v93NzxuGbFw542sU/w400-h246/11%20CV%20Cast%20w%20Cletus%20F.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The last few cars are straight from season five. Warner Bros. wanted to make sure you loved Coy and Vance as much as you loved Bo and Luke. Remember Boss Hogg even said they were better than Bo and Luke? I bet Sorrell hated delivering that line. The first card is a group shot that features Cletus, Rosco holding Flash, Daisy, Coy, Uncle Jesse and Boss Hogg in front of the General Lee with Enos, Vance, and Cooter on the roof. I wonder how many people can sit on the roof of the General without doing damage? During season five, you have to look at the positives. The supporting cast really stepped up their game. After his spinoff was canceled, Enos came back to the show. In a stroke of genius by the producers, they made him share a police car with Cletus. Their bickering and fighting about who gets to drive this time were some of the funniest moments of season five. </div><div> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJI32cN3GBTZyRlA15vWnvOtiDzDFJQIsJFXdoforG14ml1awTlQYnjOgvKVEs2d3TaBWV8SwrvaPbq0b5dq89GtYuB7YHraVBgzoaqq5zpaa6BorPLmzvyt1amo0n8txe2wauC6-AWbusqwP_xB2KozdBf5rkrhWmM2aSK_efJEqiB3bdd9J-E9zE/s6594/11b%20CV%20Cast%20w%20Cletus%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6594" data-original-width="4078" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJI32cN3GBTZyRlA15vWnvOtiDzDFJQIsJFXdoforG14ml1awTlQYnjOgvKVEs2d3TaBWV8SwrvaPbq0b5dq89GtYuB7YHraVBgzoaqq5zpaa6BorPLmzvyt1amo0n8txe2wauC6-AWbusqwP_xB2KozdBf5rkrhWmM2aSK_efJEqiB3bdd9J-E9zE/w397-h640/11b%20CV%20Cast%20w%20Cletus%20B.jpg" width="397" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The back of the card somehow doesn't include Enos though.

Long before Bo and Luke came back, Cletus was booted out of his patrol car and out of Hazzard. WB had to stick to their formula and that didn't include two dipstick deputies. We didn't see ol' Cletus in Hazzard again until the reunion movies. Because there had to be a Tamkin card for each cast change, a variant of the previous card was issued that simply cropped Cletus out. Again, the same image is depicted, but it's a tighter shot and Cletus is conveniently edited out. The General Lee is also a victim of the crop and is barley visible in this version. It's almost too convenient how easy it was to drop Cletus from this one. I wonder if the photographer told Rick to stand just a little bit over there, just in case. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4bhdWI7TKvUCuAVihvBs9CTPMmUyJOzfE7JXFw3eWRtxyeSsODU4cBb5AmoKb2s54nYARKhCyyK7HeTZXJsOi5Ksm7NWAg8YrWf3HRzOB5WzNlEA2JAa1x1CTNj22M53JBxYrOauzOM9CP4H3IN4TJ_TAFMw7F6HMvHAfCwRqaslzx2J5baP8upIb/s6430/12b%20CV%20Cast%20n%20Cletus%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6430" data-original-width="4082" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4bhdWI7TKvUCuAVihvBs9CTPMmUyJOzfE7JXFw3eWRtxyeSsODU4cBb5AmoKb2s54nYARKhCyyK7HeTZXJsOi5Ksm7NWAg8YrWf3HRzOB5WzNlEA2JAa1x1CTNj22M53JBxYrOauzOM9CP4H3IN4TJ_TAFMw7F6HMvHAfCwRqaslzx2J5baP8upIb/w406-h640/12b%20CV%20Cast%20n%20Cletus%20B.jpg" width="406" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The same autographs are used as before, but Enos is included and replaces Cletus.

It's interesting to note the Bo and Luke didn't get individual Tamkin cards, but neither did Boss Hogg, Uncle Jesse, Enos or Cletus. There are cards for Daisy, Cooter, Coy, Vance and the General Lee. I wish I could have picked Jack Tamkin's brain about the selection of these cards. Coy's card features a shot of him on the hood of the General Lee. I can't figure out of he's performing a perfect hood slide or if he's seated on the hood.

I had the standard tree card for a while and tried to pick up the different ones when I could. Some are rare and expensive. It seems a bunch were recently discovered as there are two sellers on ebay that seem to have an endless supply of several cards.

I love finding unexpected Dukes stuff. </div><div><br /></div><div>While preparing this post I gathered a few other autograph cards and postcards that I had around the collection. The blog really helps me organize my stuff and there's no reason these cards shouldn't be stored in the same vicinity as the Tamkin cards. Since I had them around, I scanned them too and thought it would be fun to share them as well. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFow0hhS-_th82YAOGtvi1i0QlE1QYonJfDICvwjww7Gn6JFb8nRQbDxW12XYcT_AhbAOygbFuKweplFaANz5ghMmG6U9SJQIBo2AI7gkVoXjetBU_KPIm49aufDzM2SXFxj_TIsjPRrF5EaVIOVl2_bDgzw0Tz8cUz7qi6YLdYSVzeL6kiCwm94x6/s7156/15%20Enos%201%20F.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7156" data-original-width="4678" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFow0hhS-_th82YAOGtvi1i0QlE1QYonJfDICvwjww7Gn6JFb8nRQbDxW12XYcT_AhbAOygbFuKweplFaANz5ghMmG6U9SJQIBo2AI7gkVoXjetBU_KPIm49aufDzM2SXFxj_TIsjPRrF5EaVIOVl2_bDgzw0Tz8cUz7qi6YLdYSVzeL6kiCwm94x6/w418-h640/15%20Enos%201%20F.jpg" width="418" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7bkRjuEDuR3FyWd_YW1ECt_amB81xFGrXnwOOXQbafHcX1KbkqoLxGjnSKfo8Q-EWyk3M9cCuYKMm1rLiPjNaSnm4Y7fB4zJqfK4Rxn1ONyrNlNQwc57Z6aEejvw8MPMw-bNg-ipEXzzUYg7gq6swWpqWU1mckX3Zjyac5YANzIwa4xeKCV9sjpcV/s7160/15b%20Enos%201%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4672" data-original-width="7160" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7bkRjuEDuR3FyWd_YW1ECt_amB81xFGrXnwOOXQbafHcX1KbkqoLxGjnSKfo8Q-EWyk3M9cCuYKMm1rLiPjNaSnm4Y7fB4zJqfK4Rxn1ONyrNlNQwc57Z6aEejvw8MPMw-bNg-ipEXzzUYg7gq6swWpqWU1mckX3Zjyac5YANzIwa4xeKCV9sjpcV/w400-h261/15b%20Enos%201%20B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Sonny always has autograph cards on him. Every time I've seen him and worked with him he has them in his pocket. He's always prepared. The above card is an older one from the time the show was on. I got it on ebay. He autographed the front and the back has a preprinted autograph and note from Sonny. I love that the text on the front mentions not only Dukes, but also Alice and Love Boat. We all know Boss and Enos guest starred on an episode of Alice in character when Boss tried to by Mel's Diner from Mel. It's a fun episode and great to see our beloved characters in a fish out of water situation. I had no idea Sonny guest starred on an episode of Love Boat during the Dukes. Wouldn't it have been cool if he played Enos on a cruise? Sonny's record is also mentioned. He released an album after his spinoff Enos ended and he came back to the Dukes. The album is called Back in Hazzard. This is a fun addition to the album. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsClRAqqNaVtTRzVtf71QzVMsL9OQ44TvAh_X2SBZokl8TSs4EuFpvV-2AfHe8Mfk-OFQOSAVGy3M9iq3kVToRB9D7bXrbVIOqwccKS-XKujzAA1U9CI-AowaL-omFqL2I5bGjHz_oFH_Nr9KYl8xvZX-_oo5lwCK5SdiQtNRsUVw-M_Up1L-T5aiv/s7162/16%20Enos%202%20F.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7162" data-original-width="4600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsClRAqqNaVtTRzVtf71QzVMsL9OQ44TvAh_X2SBZokl8TSs4EuFpvV-2AfHe8Mfk-OFQOSAVGy3M9iq3kVToRB9D7bXrbVIOqwccKS-XKujzAA1U9CI-AowaL-omFqL2I5bGjHz_oFH_Nr9KYl8xvZX-_oo5lwCK5SdiQtNRsUVw-M_Up1L-T5aiv/w413-h640/16%20Enos%202%20F.jpg" width="413" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74Dr-IzWZ2LiRBioombVbDrEj8AnrzKb5BAa2_Eyawik1ILXVdYOkaM47k5Hew6h9sUBwBtSxDvM6FLAcK64SJDuDz3zRmKAbtYcxRYpU6A8v745Gb2H8CrkicDjRg--DF-ffO5Ru5tdB3EGD7-9bHyCffz8nVSdYTMV1dfkhuuOLA1cXZYGzLDWM/s7170/16b%20Enos%202%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7170" data-original-width="4590" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg74Dr-IzWZ2LiRBioombVbDrEj8AnrzKb5BAa2_Eyawik1ILXVdYOkaM47k5Hew6h9sUBwBtSxDvM6FLAcK64SJDuDz3zRmKAbtYcxRYpU6A8v745Gb2H8CrkicDjRg--DF-ffO5Ru5tdB3EGD7-9bHyCffz8nVSdYTMV1dfkhuuOLA1cXZYGzLDWM/w410-h640/16b%20Enos%202%20B.jpg" width="410" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLtKoJEplGoIR980bA1oQq15JHSZNXf6TCPLObiTZIE0vpmLbH0v3jJl-N4TaSrQEeaC0NsZxv9BIqYHoXmoLzgon4aQg4FCiR2o2H4WZDFBcv3u0bjKiZ1TnaGOCoutBSaQZNxO8ZI7Vubu8hGYGsg7hFFNToAwgAMtMwgArb94NiCsWhhTbuk2fa/s7038/17%20Enos%203%20F.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4638" data-original-width="7038" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLtKoJEplGoIR980bA1oQq15JHSZNXf6TCPLObiTZIE0vpmLbH0v3jJl-N4TaSrQEeaC0NsZxv9BIqYHoXmoLzgon4aQg4FCiR2o2H4WZDFBcv3u0bjKiZ1TnaGOCoutBSaQZNxO8ZI7Vubu8hGYGsg7hFFNToAwgAMtMwgArb94NiCsWhhTbuk2fa/w400-h264/17%20Enos%203%20F.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizsSEYmYcH1IN6p76_WFYeOSUmvIctfsyFE_GQ4fyZDGGVUiKh0_HYhzItIsaXVgnmaO4IgtUfAUSLGDTWOSDY5-nJ9KrNqXQUvXZ5HeWgr_W8SKUPB8bmBjeB8UIDDjpMd4vfwVJuh6YYBzPLp4fgrnFePRK4LUfSElD5H2kKf5Za3LueOIgy0k5y/s7138/17b%20Enos%203%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7138" data-original-width="4644" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizsSEYmYcH1IN6p76_WFYeOSUmvIctfsyFE_GQ4fyZDGGVUiKh0_HYhzItIsaXVgnmaO4IgtUfAUSLGDTWOSDY5-nJ9KrNqXQUvXZ5HeWgr_W8SKUPB8bmBjeB8UIDDjpMd4vfwVJuh6YYBzPLp4fgrnFePRK4LUfSElD5H2kKf5Za3LueOIgy0k5y/w416-h640/17b%20Enos%203%20B.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><div><br /></div>These other two card are newer and similar to the ones Sonny carries with him.

This is not a Tamkin card. It appears Denver might have sent out his own autographs, or maybe this was before Tamkin came into the picture. It has the same address as the first Enos card. I'm surprised the fan mail was directed to CBS TV and not Warner Bros. studios. Pam Dickson sent a request to Denver and he obliged by sending her a card and autograph that included "Hi Pam!" I blacked out Pam's address when I added the watermark. I never had the opportunity to meet Denver so adding any autograph from him to the collection is an honor. These aren't as formal as the Tamkin cards, but actually being autographed make the Enos and Uncle Jesse cards very special. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNfDDH1mI9t5dBN58t0jwEdxulBQpSgdg3otF67QNlbBLTjjXFl8Wy495SjfgfpueP9-MRr6-OcTz2SjL3x7-HqUrON2NZMV7HMFyOVWLhDOQo2UEa-frVkolPEKv3uYiwjbMvYRLKiqDEuJJz6cMiCFWNtnGaLQGqB-6oW10FcACpaOscCDfrq_t2/s9582/19%20Catherine%20F.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="9582" data-original-width="5876" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNfDDH1mI9t5dBN58t0jwEdxulBQpSgdg3otF67QNlbBLTjjXFl8Wy495SjfgfpueP9-MRr6-OcTz2SjL3x7-HqUrON2NZMV7HMFyOVWLhDOQo2UEa-frVkolPEKv3uYiwjbMvYRLKiqDEuJJz6cMiCFWNtnGaLQGqB-6oW10FcACpaOscCDfrq_t2/w392-h640/19%20Catherine%20F.jpg" width="392" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnTk0bN2r76Wz_SF6tOHCflvlLTAf9UQHWcMrlI5XB2QPrHi2HfQSXW9CRbk2iKUjrjI9kxPdXnvN7LpBmbyhIv0WpmTt0GqulyFgndMufVPYP81vfY19DywWFku4DRTeHUYPoMIETAfnC5h5qbfpjTf3soLNeONbu4FJLJf6T9ZJCx_hSfmE4qOa0/s9554/19b%20Catherine%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5884" data-original-width="9554" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnTk0bN2r76Wz_SF6tOHCflvlLTAf9UQHWcMrlI5XB2QPrHi2HfQSXW9CRbk2iKUjrjI9kxPdXnvN7LpBmbyhIv0WpmTt0GqulyFgndMufVPYP81vfY19DywWFku4DRTeHUYPoMIETAfnC5h5qbfpjTf3soLNeONbu4FJLJf6T9ZJCx_hSfmE4qOa0/w400-h246/19b%20Catherine%20B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Next up is a Daisy Duke card that might be one Catherine had made up herself. The front has a great picture of Catherine in Daisy Dukes looking similar to what Daisy would wear, but not quite in a Daisy outfit. There 's a preprinted autograph on the front. The back says "Watch for Catherine Bach on 'The Dukes of Hazzard.'" There is room for a message and an address. This one looks like it's never been sent through the mail and nothing is written on it. I'm guessing Catherine sent these out or gave them out at appearances during the show's run. This is a very cool and unique card.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpVUQeerNqnPJYewUqQ-hNU_-6tac-v0WafmtnK3-zfBY-jXQeOp911ahx7z-XPgGyrsPpU_LhHXLaswgUKPiXTAsoqO2DUOwqSAisqFQbU0BiTI4MJlvBHo52TIhBcNd8byU3ppzvKgvsiCWppS9amvx0qjluu7KIfY52ELCscNfA_DDPQs5XRK1T/s7194/20%20Catherine%20F.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="7194" data-original-width="4940" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpVUQeerNqnPJYewUqQ-hNU_-6tac-v0WafmtnK3-zfBY-jXQeOp911ahx7z-XPgGyrsPpU_LhHXLaswgUKPiXTAsoqO2DUOwqSAisqFQbU0BiTI4MJlvBHo52TIhBcNd8byU3ppzvKgvsiCWppS9amvx0qjluu7KIfY52ELCscNfA_DDPQs5XRK1T/w440-h640/20%20Catherine%20F.jpg" width="440" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6SmFtHKXomuc6QKa0g6w2RMXdO3VWBbrKmsf3jNIjIpTwWxt5jyxYb4aPisyKYAvn0poqfXcYadnI0_sUtXADp74qgF_ivn6EuFGmynQ2IDglJTrxR-xoQRDAVaBwi72JeueQUBuZ3xFTvWDzD0yoDGH9SDFXuTKWsFO68NODyPDN1tQaT2aPVVkn/s7212/20b%20Catherine%20B.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4932" data-original-width="7212" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6SmFtHKXomuc6QKa0g6w2RMXdO3VWBbrKmsf3jNIjIpTwWxt5jyxYb4aPisyKYAvn0poqfXcYadnI0_sUtXADp74qgF_ivn6EuFGmynQ2IDglJTrxR-xoQRDAVaBwi72JeueQUBuZ3xFTvWDzD0yoDGH9SDFXuTKWsFO68NODyPDN1tQaT2aPVVkn/w400-h274/20b%20Catherine%20B.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>But if you want to talk about unique, this is a great one. After the Dukes, Catherine starred in a show on The Family Channel called African Skies. The Family Channel is now called Freeform and before that was ABC Family and The Disney Family Channel. Catherine's show ran for two seasons from 1992 to 1994 and was filmed in South Africa. Catherine's co-star was none other than Robert Mitchum. Among his many film credits, Robert starred in a movie called Maria's Lovers that was filmed here is little old Brownsville at the same time Catherine was filming the Dukes. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6-ZiCgc1AILvNqJsajPKyCOF2PiRDTyFqUnPJYx75cpoXFaEeujkx6QC3h7t8B5vvnDSVw0LjCVpj1yagCW3IrrfNmZKxbuUA6pWM9yhDpyMhkdFwnFJ0PI1dVLJvfLoH4mfft1LMFFyGiV2i3EzXEpPE7naGx2w7ODNbVmBglGPaxNgfU9QAEz5g/s3037/Scans_2089_a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2064" data-original-width="3037" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6-ZiCgc1AILvNqJsajPKyCOF2PiRDTyFqUnPJYx75cpoXFaEeujkx6QC3h7t8B5vvnDSVw0LjCVpj1yagCW3IrrfNmZKxbuUA6pWM9yhDpyMhkdFwnFJ0PI1dVLJvfLoH4mfft1LMFFyGiV2i3EzXEpPE7naGx2w7ODNbVmBglGPaxNgfU9QAEz5g/w400-h271/Scans_2089_a.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div>Here's a picture of my Aunt Leann (on the right) and my mom with Robert Mitchum while filming Maria's Lovers in 1982.

Greenlight has made a number of different police cars because they are the same cars and use the same tooling. Tooling is the raw parts used to make a diecast. You can release a police car from every neighboring county of Hazzard because all you have to do is repaint it. The tooling exists. The tow truck was almost all new tooling. Michael Smith, CEO of Cooter's and Mark Bradley, chief designer, spearheaded this project, along with Ben and Alma, of course, and succeeded in creating a perfect diecast. I'm honored that I got to add a little input as well.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAOUqkUBZa29jTsx5KspMq_k8pV5QIEX0vJUzuyVK0_6fmjiy4XHPUlQwljBZ6GLY2D5LVgg2JPXe-U_fp9jr6tKaQgNeqB4x_vkML4gg7U2B_xlYLumCRQAj5Huor2inAp-BlA2HzgW1cSvI-eOrprCcbHcgRrCKuZkjLCYt8PI6Yxj9pIsyROWWN/s4608/IMG_20221116_160226474.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAOUqkUBZa29jTsx5KspMq_k8pV5QIEX0vJUzuyVK0_6fmjiy4XHPUlQwljBZ6GLY2D5LVgg2JPXe-U_fp9jr6tKaQgNeqB4x_vkML4gg7U2B_xlYLumCRQAj5Huor2inAp-BlA2HzgW1cSvI-eOrprCcbHcgRrCKuZkjLCYt8PI6Yxj9pIsyROWWN/w400-h300/IMG_20221116_160226474.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The decals are spot on. I would expect nothing less when Mark Bradley is in charge. Mark created the garage set reproduction at Cooter's in Luray and did it again, along with the work-in-progress Boars Nest in Pigeon Forge. Mark knows his way around the Hazzard County Garage. </div><div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoek2SA85zRFktobdwV9mRkHDXZeLIbkMjwabG-GhHdjP6WU-3b3pBXnAVIZKPXOmibs5NVDPxBsQGF_P8JSbYgie6Z6ohwBBDH47f1v5I_KDTeP4X-YE3FHIcJ3cjhy7nzRH6uIkw1oQrs_QQ3IhFmyc6wIbK1vk8YY_TPA5rdDuHPmQe2mmfBrfd/s4608/IMG_20221116_160407138.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoek2SA85zRFktobdwV9mRkHDXZeLIbkMjwabG-GhHdjP6WU-3b3pBXnAVIZKPXOmibs5NVDPxBsQGF_P8JSbYgie6Z6ohwBBDH47f1v5I_KDTeP4X-YE3FHIcJ3cjhy7nzRH6uIkw1oQrs_QQ3IhFmyc6wIbK1vk8YY_TPA5rdDuHPmQe2mmfBrfd/w400-h300/IMG_20221116_160407138.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR1YtaEQ4s0mL6S7AH59KRsWvNmVNV7wPmHkWGEHRcXE9XdSlC8XjoWRYLUMmAXcwGJYJU-lyXFgIDf6ceZ9vbRQgOQqBOEMWOnyXgu3eHA3JSndf9rQaXBzvxTw73voCGvXreFeykGHsE9oPi91LuEfkC-aokjq26EOtA4pxqi5VF2fHWwF-BqE4R/s4608/IMG_20221116_160415264.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR1YtaEQ4s0mL6S7AH59KRsWvNmVNV7wPmHkWGEHRcXE9XdSlC8XjoWRYLUMmAXcwGJYJU-lyXFgIDf6ceZ9vbRQgOQqBOEMWOnyXgu3eHA3JSndf9rQaXBzvxTw73voCGvXreFeykGHsE9oPi91LuEfkC-aokjq26EOtA4pxqi5VF2fHWwF-BqE4R/w400-h300/IMG_20221116_160415264.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDHU2ePZ77xccIxzIKxs_vP6fRyvmOMxn6IhgwmXnrQB7b5T_JXp8xW8KpJq4q1ojEboWqe2lp90mIFFH5IVhnGM6LPER84HOUVeMbe0nXb19pAfApSfirGOdQK6Pjyr3rlMzRrmDgeSM57TlSu3B7HrL94coLdMSV5d9ARA3eSlF1aAylSy0bqxua/s4608/IMG_20221116_160430621.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDHU2ePZ77xccIxzIKxs_vP6fRyvmOMxn6IhgwmXnrQB7b5T_JXp8xW8KpJq4q1ojEboWqe2lp90mIFFH5IVhnGM6LPER84HOUVeMbe0nXb19pAfApSfirGOdQK6Pjyr3rlMzRrmDgeSM57TlSu3B7HrL94coLdMSV5d9ARA3eSlF1aAylSy0bqxua/w400-h300/IMG_20221116_160430621.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: left;">Everything about this truck is great.

Earlier this year Cooter's made the General Lee available once again by releasing <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2012/04/new-118-scale-diecast-general-lee-from.html">the Cooter's Exclusive version of the beloved Auto World General Lee</a>. We all know Warner Bros won't let anyone release the Gen'ral right now, but Cooter's partnered with Auto World to release an orange '69 Charger with vector wheels and a push bar that comes in an awesome Cooter's designed box that happens to come with a decal sheet that includes 01s and the rebel flag. Somehow I didn't blog about this amazing diecast when Cooter's released it in the Spring, but you know I added it to my collection. Mark and Michael designed an amazing package for this car as well. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3cc2-T94yLiROUfEE30g4RMi1ju5S-UQr0QztfuSaVUNoE72FNQ2-DlADzxhYa-YED4CMcqUmNhWF2S4DzxNf4MGkgjjTs-MxnGPewhGACKI2fusBLRCS41HkMBunAvmweWTQqBONp2wuARmkfU5n10HV8i7dyOvehCju4HM2gwICenva1ITbspmo/s6016/IMG_20221116_161302304.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3cc2-T94yLiROUfEE30g4RMi1ju5S-UQr0QztfuSaVUNoE72FNQ2-DlADzxhYa-YED4CMcqUmNhWF2S4DzxNf4MGkgjjTs-MxnGPewhGACKI2fusBLRCS41HkMBunAvmweWTQqBONp2wuARmkfU5n10HV8i7dyOvehCju4HM2gwICenva1ITbspmo/w400-h300/IMG_20221116_161302304.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: left;">Even though one is Auto World and one is Greenlight, they are both Dukes of Hazzard toys and they look great together.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy6uLxtZlIVHOqHdrMZ1KpA5k20j4pwvhjm6-FERvW8C0-9W9sArZbfK3HAtLnLqoZbvogSVNmkHM-yrBbeNxyu3ePttKlUzL0nFXIPVryd0dxQHGqLprajb7kL0ikZsWNBzh5T_guryJHjCKWH_2nhiOHGE8JUPzKWe1B2-I9qV5kAjmfx_Sm0ANW/s6016/IMG_20221116_161358102.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy6uLxtZlIVHOqHdrMZ1KpA5k20j4pwvhjm6-FERvW8C0-9W9sArZbfK3HAtLnLqoZbvogSVNmkHM-yrBbeNxyu3ePttKlUzL0nFXIPVryd0dxQHGqLprajb7kL0ikZsWNBzh5T_guryJHjCKWH_2nhiOHGE8JUPzKWe1B2-I9qV5kAjmfx_Sm0ANW/w400-h300/IMG_20221116_161358102.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: left;">These might be my favorite sides of both packages.

A few years ago I sold it to new friends and they go all out with their Halloween decorations. I stopped there late on Saturday night and took some pictures with their skeleton crew.

If you've read more than a post or two on this ol' blog you've probably figured this out. Recently I was able to combine these two loves into an event that I'm very proud of and it was a success. The first ever Halloween in Hazzard Costume Contest took place at the 2022 Hazzard Run at Cooter's in Luray.

Though there hasn't been one every year since, this was the tenth Run, and it's always a favorite for Dukes fans. Bobby Scott is the creator and organizer of the event, along with Jett Yaskow. It started as a parade of Dukes cars, General Lees and others, that went from the original Gatlinburg Cooter's Place to the Nashville location. Last year they moved to the Luray Cooter's. I've never had the pleasure of attending a Run until this year. Pictured above is the General Lee the belongs to your buddy and mine, Jim Dahlman. <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2021/06/i-turn-40-today-natalie-threw-me.html">Remember Jim brought his car to my 40th birthday party last year and made the party epic.</a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha6V2rUgankNgy-0HTZcTO5W4XyfmfvLjTSc0SkA4B60FEhT3xAnI33mGSFIN5h6MQJqo17mPfLsIevEN4cg-VnDPtCEoRxaQVZvxBpCTuso_oXRpm1hb6QjGGa6xXx6FqseqeKluYTtybPZc2CNV4BG_25Vm0jo3lNqUSiJ0THvXO1rd1rKjK2aTm/s6016/IMG_20221014_163330607_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha6V2rUgankNgy-0HTZcTO5W4XyfmfvLjTSc0SkA4B60FEhT3xAnI33mGSFIN5h6MQJqo17mPfLsIevEN4cg-VnDPtCEoRxaQVZvxBpCTuso_oXRpm1hb6QjGGa6xXx6FqseqeKluYTtybPZc2CNV4BG_25Vm0jo3lNqUSiJ0THvXO1rd1rKjK2aTm/w400-h300/IMG_20221014_163330607_HDR.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I got to Cooter's on Friday and there was already a crowd.

When the Hazzard Run was first announced, and I noticed it was later in October this year, and the idea for a costume contest popped into my head right away. I've always wanted to combine my love of Halloween with the Dukes and the timing of the Run gave me the perfect chance. Just like the professional group pictures at the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-dukes-of-hazzard-40th-anniversary.html">40th anniversary in Nashville</a> and the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2019/08/cooters-good-ol-boy-fest-in-shenandoah.html">Good Ol' Boy Fest</a>, if I wanted this to happen, I had to make it happen myself. I discussed the idea with Miss Alma months ago, and she agreed it would be fun. I was hoping she would agree to let me host it, and she was on board for that too. After the preparation and announcements were made, the only thing I had to do was design a costume. Even though I wouldn't be eligible to win because I was the host, I still needed to show up in costume. I had a few ideas, but I decided the Carnival of Thrills outfit was going to be a showstopper. Just like every other amazing Halloween costume contest I've worn in the past, I come up with the ideas, and my Mom and Natalie make them amazing. This one was all Mom. The jumpsuit came from walmart.com, the Carnival patch came from my collection, the other patches were custom from zazzle.com and Mom did the rest. This suit is perfect. People thought it was professionally made. It basically is. After all these winning Halloween costumes, I would agree that my Mom is a professional costume creator at this point. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQix0Q06vnzzEvdq7pwVfQp1wbswmjs_dy3uVBEZT4mErH6jSRHbLcUJWRpeAQL6BUDtoVlOtrdpWQJOQaunJk81wgLek3b_wBgcz-WwYgbY5Wg8FzOOPU_cRR2ROmlxpJA3kYG7qrJkLvZArA7Qn4MB06bLrzqPLjtCedDIFjn4ZBbtC4wtGKsxnq/s1440/IMG_20221015_082450.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQix0Q06vnzzEvdq7pwVfQp1wbswmjs_dy3uVBEZT4mErH6jSRHbLcUJWRpeAQL6BUDtoVlOtrdpWQJOQaunJk81wgLek3b_wBgcz-WwYgbY5Wg8FzOOPU_cRR2ROmlxpJA3kYG7qrJkLvZArA7Qn4MB06bLrzqPLjtCedDIFjn4ZBbtC4wtGKsxnq/w300-h400/IMG_20221015_082450.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I debated wearing the costume first thing in the morning, or putting it on after the run.

I was so happy when I saw fellow fans in costume as soon as I got to Cooter's in the morning. People were excited for the contest! Fans that didn't dress up were excited to see those that did. Let's meet the participants in the event. First up were my favorite of all the costumes. This is Dave and John Ashbridge dressed as Bo and Luke from the season 5 episode "Welcome Back, Bo 'n' Luke." These fellow jumpsuit wearing fellas really nailed it. Topped with helmets, something I didn't think of, they were a hit all over the Run.

This is the entire pool of participants for the first ever Hazzard in Halloween Costume Contest at Cooter's. Each winner took home a seventy-five dollar gift card to Cooter's! Well, I'm guessing they took home seventy-five bucks worth of Cooter's stuff because I know I would have spent that right away. What a great time the contest was. Everyone shown in the picture is, from left to right, Mike Phinny and Corry Lin Stepnensca as Deputies Enos and Daisy, Dave Ashbridge and John Ashbridge as Welcome Back Bo 'n' Luke, Alex Page as the Bandit, Nolan Desrosiers as Bo Duke, Billy Lambing as Rosco, host Larry Franks as Carnival of Thrills Bo Duke, James Murphy III as Cooter, Tabitha Ingram as Daisy, Kevin Thacker, Gabriel Thacker and Staci Helms as Enos, Rosco and Daisy, Brandon Bergin as Rosco and Curtis Moore as a Hazzard Deputy.

I can't think of a better way to spend a warm Autumn evening. This was truly a special event for me. I lot of people said they wish they would have dressed up or wanted to see how it went the first time and want to do it next year. I hope we have twice as many costumes next Halloween. I successfully combined Dukes and Halloween. Wow. I can't wait to do it again!</div>Larry Frankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17949715226150725642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809545378535908228.post-45393872306955124322022-02-21T09:18:00.000-05:002022-02-21T09:18:59.785-05:0010 Years of DukesCollector - New Centerpiece: Screen Used CNH 320 License Plate<p>Today, February 21, 2022 marks the tenth anniversary of <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2012/02/monumental-day-first-dukes-collector.html">my very first blog post</a> here on DukesCollector. To say that my collection has come a long way in the last ten years would be the understatement of the decade. I didn't really know what I was doing back then; the first post didn't even have any pictures on it. On my first post I stated my intentions for the blog to be showing off my collection, bringing fellow collectors together, and finding a place for people's unwanted Dukes stuff, namely in my possession. I definitely achieved those goals! This blog has done so much for me and made my collection so much bigger. It's put me in contact with so many fellow collectors and helped me make so many new friends. I knew I had to write a tenth anniversary post and I figured I had two options. The first option would be to do a "best of" post and look back at some of the highlights of the last ten years, sort of like a clip show that every TV show out there has done. All but one. The Dukes of Hazzard never did a clip show, they did a flashback episode in the final season, but never an actual clip show. The other option I had is to show off a new addition to the collection that is so amazing, so unbelievable, so ground breaking that it could only be shared on a very special post. The Dukes never did a clip show and neither am I. But how often do you add a collectible to the mix that it becomes the new centerpiece of the collection? What could possibly eclipse the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-mythical-dukes-of-hazzard-swimming.html">mythical swimming pool</a>? What could transcend the various pairs of <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2016/05/i-added-another-pair-of-dukes-of.html">Dukes shoes</a>? What could overshadow the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2018/11/new-dukes-stuff-11102018-dukes-pencil.html">pencil</a> and matching <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2013/06/new-dukes-stuff-642013-dukes-pencil-cup.html">pencil cup</a>? What could outweigh the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2016/01/new-dukes-stuff-1-132016-holy-grail.html">archery set</a>, <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2017/02/the-elusive-arco-dukes-of-hazzard.html">Cooter's Garage Playhouse tent</a>, the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2018/01/new-dukes-stuff-1192018-one-of-kind.html">crew belt buckle mold</a>, the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2019/01/at-long-last-wms-dukes-of-hazzard-slot.html">slot machine</a>, and the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2013/10/another-holy-grail-dukes-of-hazzard.html">sidewalk bicycle</a>? What could outshine the mighty <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-entire-line-of-dukes-of-hazzard-118.html">Gold General Lee</a>?

In this blog post I'll discuss how I came to own the plate, the prominence behind it, and look at its intricate details. Buckle up, we're about the jump the creek!<div><br /></div><div>A lot of my big ticket items like the pool and the belt buckle mold found a home in my collection because their previous owners searched online and wound up here in the blog. It's the best thing about this blog and something I honestly didn't expect in the beginning. That was not the case, however, with the CNH 320 plate. Ten years ago, people searching me out online to sell me Dukes stuff would have been an unexpected dream scenario, but the way I got the plate was even more unexpected. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjqlVi0-bmvvWiCrr1cB3rICBoYzbYGCkskd8DhinJIFokGqawW4If0SgIve21q9wW2RpdCbFwq-C8JkiYfJf5geCu_soZhb-YStfVGlYK9hRr3FrlU1HS0QurMU-zPWMZ5QMX1jr0dLF1Ei_XHf3mMiWj83el_v8Prm7ZNXgTaIb7W6fcD2ziQWWDX=s896" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="744" data-original-width="896" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjqlVi0-bmvvWiCrr1cB3rICBoYzbYGCkskd8DhinJIFokGqawW4If0SgIve21q9wW2RpdCbFwq-C8JkiYfJf5geCu_soZhb-YStfVGlYK9hRr3FrlU1HS0QurMU-zPWMZ5QMX1jr0dLF1Ei_XHf3mMiWj83el_v8Prm7ZNXgTaIb7W6fcD2ziQWWDX=w400-h333" width="400" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/larryafranks">https://twitter.com/larryafranks</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As far as social media goes, I'm primarily a twitter user. I have instgram and use it some times and don't have facebook, but my go to is twitter. Mostly I talk about Dukes, crack jokes with <a href="https://twitter.com/JeffMcClelland">Jeffrey</a>, and look at action figure pictures. It's fun to interact with celebrities and follow trending topics. Every once in a while I meet some interesting characters on there and one meeting led me to my cherished plate. A very peculiar tweet thread found its way to me where the original poster tweeted out some made up song lyrics and called out some other twitter user that would then call out someone else and they would try to keep it going. It made its way through the founder of Rotten Tomatoes who called out Jeff who called me out. <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2012/07/comic-con-pictures-sdcc-part-3.html">Jeff and I met the founder of RT years ago at Comic Con</a> and have stayed in touch. The author of the twitter thread would be involved with each tweet. I'd never been involved with something like this, but it was going on long before it got to me and I wasn't going to be the one to drop the ball. I played the part and replied to <a href="http://teddyandtheyeti.blogspot.com/">Jeff</a>'s tweet and called out another twitter friend and thought nothing more of it. A few days later the author of the odd tweet thread reached out to me and said he noticed my account and saw that I was a Dukes Collector and said he might have something I was interested in. I love those kind of messages. The new twitter friend's name is Emery and he has a verified account. Verified accounts have a blue checkmark beside their name and are usually reserved for celebrities and people of statue. It's a way of letting people know you're seeing tweets from the actual Catherine Bach or John Schneider and not some impersonator which happens pretty often. I, unfortunately, don't have a blue check, but I did have an impersonator on twitter for a while. That was a long crazy story for another time. (Shout out to <a href="https://twitter.com/EvilLarryFranks">@evillarryfranks</a>) Back to Emery, the blue check gave me confidence that this guy probably wasn't trying to rip me off. He sent me a picture of the plate and my jaw dropped. Turns out Emery is a Hollywood insider who has worked all over Tinseltown with different positions from producer to editor to director. Over the years Emery has come to own some amazing props and costumes from some very recognizable shows and movies. When he saw me take part in his twitter thread, he reached out to show off his collectible. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgXV35622L-YyW6GAVd_diG8eXHI6wbW7zo1X3hYtw7JFyY-XpVvUrlunuoUV9vv7h8kVtIlzYhR5Ng_MTvZOyjYwnoisbcWbc-NqWkHQbMk-rT-X9phGJKo-3Bfe7wL8MxJLjIQO4LyW3wmWjnykH7SfZ96THfw15HlqiZY6Vxr59JXsjBk97tShUn=s6016" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgXV35622L-YyW6GAVd_diG8eXHI6wbW7zo1X3hYtw7JFyY-XpVvUrlunuoUV9vv7h8kVtIlzYhR5Ng_MTvZOyjYwnoisbcWbc-NqWkHQbMk-rT-X9phGJKo-3Bfe7wL8MxJLjIQO4LyW3wmWjnykH7SfZ96THfw15HlqiZY6Vxr59JXsjBk97tShUn=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Turns out Emery had the plate up for auction with the Hollywood auction house Profiles in History back in 2017. He had several pieces listed in the auction. The auction happened to take place on my birthday. The posting for the plate came across my radar back then, but I never considered bidding because I thought the price would out of my league. Turns out I had some birthday luck and didn't even know it because the plate didn't sell. Several years later it came back on my radar in a big way. It took a little time, but Emery and I agreed on a price and the plate became mine. I still can't believe it. </div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh_Y4sNOtA0TnBZPdOhjjnywu8Xu1NihI12y-YEZknkHDhCjwYnlDpzGWlo6nan3P8gunBffUEy78TduGMpUC-ZjMdzq4qYOyBwj5VHh5fupEltxl_SIT2La009c9BdDQqFuPvWqqpw53PilOSKX5dOgjpMmF8XfIur4v_yNBZeFPIl5PXpRmqbAqvy=s4608" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh_Y4sNOtA0TnBZPdOhjjnywu8Xu1NihI12y-YEZknkHDhCjwYnlDpzGWlo6nan3P8gunBffUEy78TduGMpUC-ZjMdzq4qYOyBwj5VHh5fupEltxl_SIT2La009c9BdDQqFuPvWqqpw53PilOSKX5dOgjpMmF8XfIur4v_yNBZeFPIl5PXpRmqbAqvy=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The plate is metal with thick red vinyl letters, numbers and lines.

In the article I mentioned that there are variations of the plates used throughout the show. One obvious differences is the bottom of the plates. Some plates early on read "Hazzard" while others read "Hazzard County." The Hazzard County on my plate was made using the same red vinyl and when you look closely you can see the letters are not perfectly lined up. The tiny details make this thing even better. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjyAHhcu7Sunp-uY3T7OUcykWDN3is4aWq-rGocUe1YibdJkatSoslKf8bq80FmISpwWW81XvOjm7bASN5MYsY2aI6Ro4RLUydXAZ2mw61SptVB9etu9Vc0Pto-69y4GEoOlRCC9OgZsA1VqlOKYkXsMYA7wTTkfRqCqsl-jPU20E7AByzoUkvDiYsV=s4608" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjyAHhcu7Sunp-uY3T7OUcykWDN3is4aWq-rGocUe1YibdJkatSoslKf8bq80FmISpwWW81XvOjm7bASN5MYsY2aI6Ro4RLUydXAZ2mw61SptVB9etu9Vc0Pto-69y4GEoOlRCC9OgZsA1VqlOKYkXsMYA7wTTkfRqCqsl-jPU20E7AByzoUkvDiYsV=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEihyarI9IQOfaOKgsjVFtkb5qooFUGPBz0LYTugkkNnPopRWx0zZsjX3-ddy750Tbog7bbGe-RfEJ2SgboDaXXll5nP16y2-yD0NkvBqnovXXWwyc4IuVvhTZpOXyQ4ijTvVRHVAOqQpYz251NW2Btu_jRsWmVFc2_GAfaj-MW6rDQsuxNnpjIji30-=s4608" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEihyarI9IQOfaOKgsjVFtkb5qooFUGPBz0LYTugkkNnPopRWx0zZsjX3-ddy750Tbog7bbGe-RfEJ2SgboDaXXll5nP16y2-yD0NkvBqnovXXWwyc4IuVvhTZpOXyQ4ijTvVRHVAOqQpYz251NW2Btu_jRsWmVFc2_GAfaj-MW6rDQsuxNnpjIji30-=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjHXHSUXXAcDQZ8H6umsjIaxj8Y1DEqJLDRiJIbHkN2TbdjR6kDWaRS-E3H8RA9FU8HW-GFTmW5IDaT-1dEgEUdyZs8Nu9xr4wtElYLxpPDnwMuMoYrTWpG43WyIsl2zy-iPnxPUdH0f9fxHcoA-4RpPZEEe2pLpFHbihWoQ2yfG9l6MnLPgO2J7Abs=s4608" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjHXHSUXXAcDQZ8H6umsjIaxj8Y1DEqJLDRiJIbHkN2TbdjR6kDWaRS-E3H8RA9FU8HW-GFTmW5IDaT-1dEgEUdyZs8Nu9xr4wtElYLxpPDnwMuMoYrTWpG43WyIsl2zy-iPnxPUdH0f9fxHcoA-4RpPZEEe2pLpFHbihWoQ2yfG9l6MnLPgO2J7Abs=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The vinyl is thick and hard. The 76 on the plate represents the plate style that Georgia was using at the time. All plates from 1976 until 1983 looked similar to this plate. In 1983 Georgia went with a green letter plate that had an 83 in the corner. The Dukes updated the CNH 320 plates on the show to reflect the change in Georgia. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgo8SLjoALXxjzJvy-H-ifIecZNBtbfvlPSmTLZPlUiBAE95nigc1oQiEjMPNB19pICZa9_zzJpeNsT30gxU07o-JON2XSVXsV7F3bmesVI_voLmJYwlCGDf7NwkFLyhzJN6R-nAFNURh4-tIfGF-ZOtvB9nfNxEihr9JL1kxNXKsHvdZ1dJlYVqUQb=s4608" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgo8SLjoALXxjzJvy-H-ifIecZNBtbfvlPSmTLZPlUiBAE95nigc1oQiEjMPNB19pICZa9_zzJpeNsT30gxU07o-JON2XSVXsV7F3bmesVI_voLmJYwlCGDf7NwkFLyhzJN6R-nAFNURh4-tIfGF-ZOtvB9nfNxEihr9JL1kxNXKsHvdZ1dJlYVqUQb=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>There is a large smudge under the 2 and 0 that almost looks like a finger print.

The plate reads B 81 739606. This sticker is important because it dates the plate. 1981 is a very meaningful year. The Dukes merchandise boom was at its peak in '81 and this particular Dukes fanatic was born in '81. This plate was also used on a General Lee in 1981. The production crew added stickers to all the plates on the Dukes to make them look authentic. I'm glad they dated them. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjMDl5gxtDMFKqEHBjrQvrwo0Ejv2fxaB2O8R7zvEuOdCmN1TCq38syMqltSF9LsiPSbSfgPne_8GcG2i0ALlFOpXz-OlMU0q9RViLgo3MasIi6td3RvLa5CWm499xaLv51F4vn-IAGmdO9dnfBd1P2jkJGsO-tGkWIvsEJFEgmKYhIGgJEAw4Xr34D=s4608" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjMDl5gxtDMFKqEHBjrQvrwo0Ejv2fxaB2O8R7zvEuOdCmN1TCq38syMqltSF9LsiPSbSfgPne_8GcG2i0ALlFOpXz-OlMU0q9RViLgo3MasIi6td3RvLa5CWm499xaLv51F4vn-IAGmdO9dnfBd1P2jkJGsO-tGkWIvsEJFEgmKYhIGgJEAw4Xr34D=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The sticker is made of some kind of thick paper and the adhesive has done its job these last forty years. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgAKAOpdRMja6CSmexuKHSZVfBTFU2KBGOfebMD7iyH4EO4yov6PnHa4Uk8RHukz-g0NRmr0yOa03DteW21emwVuwA9DIqkA5ik3Kq1WyV5hjA4cPTQWQXTBzbbe1pdTufX6P21VePy1CYV7snhc6x3LYYfPrr37is1spimYWA1iQd5d9UOo7CD5BZJ=s6016" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgAKAOpdRMja6CSmexuKHSZVfBTFU2KBGOfebMD7iyH4EO4yov6PnHa4Uk8RHukz-g0NRmr0yOa03DteW21emwVuwA9DIqkA5ik3Kq1WyV5hjA4cPTQWQXTBzbbe1pdTufX6P21VePy1CYV7snhc6x3LYYfPrr37is1spimYWA1iQd5d9UOo7CD5BZJ=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">The back of the plate is the least pretty.

Pictured above is my buddy Thomas Heisel. Thomas is from Suamico, WI and as you can see, he's a huge Dukes fan. Thomas is currently in college studying for a degree in Digital Media Technology. My kind of guy. I first met Thomas at <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-dukes-of-hazzard-trivia-competition.html">Cooter's Last Stand during my trivia event</a>. We've kept in contact on <a href="https://twitter.com/HeiselProduct2">Twitter</a> and we talk Dukes often. Thomas's dad introduced him to the Dukes when he was three and he's been addicted ever since. His whole Dukes experience has been during the digital age of watching them online and on DVD. He's told me how he loves to pause and go frame by frame to catch tiny details. I knew Thomas would be the perfect fellow Dukes super fan to ask for help. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh0MgrRFmgsLD8E4beAODtnOVsmJMGLfbf0RzEzUtvYjV99MejiNF3LDRvn0UFdOus5ds_ianS0-pFCM8whBQ2k2pwUDwqMUiPyRPeTMJxmZ63pRL78Z-ikc7MBhOY-KehYObqrJgKRFGihTesNkYaNcQBg6mF6Ag9tzDpSNlgX1vgf-uPuGAIlZ8wD=s1024" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh0MgrRFmgsLD8E4beAODtnOVsmJMGLfbf0RzEzUtvYjV99MejiNF3LDRvn0UFdOus5ds_ianS0-pFCM8whBQ2k2pwUDwqMUiPyRPeTMJxmZ63pRL78Z-ikc7MBhOY-KehYObqrJgKRFGihTesNkYaNcQBg6mF6Ag9tzDpSNlgX1vgf-uPuGAIlZ8wD=w400-h225" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It took Thomas less than a day to strike gold. We knew the registration sticker on the plate narrowed it down to the year 1981. That's all Thomas needed to go to work. The above screen shot is from the later season 3 episode "The Canterbury Crock." It was produced and aired in the Spring on '81.

The next episode, the premiere of season 4, was "Mrs. Daisy Hogg" and it aired in the fall of '81. Thomas took the above picture from that episode. It's a reasonable guess that the plate spent the summer hiatus on the hero General Lee. The hero car refers to the car that is treated better on set and used for scenes with the actors as opposed to cars that the stuntmen jumped. Thomas believes the numbers on these two shots are a little off center and match the imperfections of my plate. I see no reason to disagree. Given Thomas's hard work I now believe that my plate appeared in at least two episodes spanning two seasons of the Dukes. That's incredible. Thanks so much for helping Thomas!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEipi2x3b6FeAgNgzASETcSRQODn0eIMiP3Zj9sh6TJ5MzDwy6ov-nm5XAHDo44yFVC9x-AqG-uyFiz4VPrcrjjmNMSGhSrFX_BDOd-5BrzxRJDTb7kPBevNRzF3OUZTvKcWfr8CSbKzJf51_m_QvO8kw6lb9Pe8e8Ovx4GRZCCFpVSz3x-KgEp7VNOa=s6016" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEipi2x3b6FeAgNgzASETcSRQODn0eIMiP3Zj9sh6TJ5MzDwy6ov-nm5XAHDo44yFVC9x-AqG-uyFiz4VPrcrjjmNMSGhSrFX_BDOd-5BrzxRJDTb7kPBevNRzF3OUZTvKcWfr8CSbKzJf51_m_QvO8kw6lb9Pe8e8Ovx4GRZCCFpVSz3x-KgEp7VNOa=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now that we have some video evidence of the plate being screen used, let's go back and talk about the Profiles in History auction that took place in 2017. As I said earlier, I was aware of the plate being offered for sale. When Emery first offered the plate to me, I went back and searched online for the old auction listing. Once Emery and I made a deal, I wanted to get everything I could relating to the auction. On Profiles in History's website, they sell older auction catalogs, but didn't have this particular one available. Even though it would appear Profiles' chief rival would be ebay, I was able to find the above catalog on our favorite auction site (sorry Profiles) for a lot cheaper than Profiles sells them for. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj_RBOvmN0ZQw8duCod-HwRSYaDbp8WxAU42fA8ggpKpgJElFJV5QdM9wDwSKCmQGubIwByz5pzOwsk8LCt_8DJh6QJrwjD_Gmkx42AJYBKKJPKxgVZy0ld1QoeTW0oo00Vy-KeyHtUimgmFAP-VPMwlLgTVaHWYHf--1vqQ8b79-5nviYtAlXWab_E=s4608" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj_RBOvmN0ZQw8duCod-HwRSYaDbp8WxAU42fA8ggpKpgJElFJV5QdM9wDwSKCmQGubIwByz5pzOwsk8LCt_8DJh6QJrwjD_Gmkx42AJYBKKJPKxgVZy0ld1QoeTW0oo00Vy-KeyHtUimgmFAP-VPMwlLgTVaHWYHf--1vqQ8b79-5nviYtAlXWab_E=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This catalog is big, real big.

I got that too!! Emery initially told me he was going to keep the placard during our first round of negotiations. But when it was over, both amazing set items wound up here at DukesCollector headquarters. Let's take a look at the placard. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg6Wt9YnPWJqsYk9WZAQ4tUlnvwRR6uIH0_hGALbdkjHq0VkwG5MAzeqy6m2oXi9X-sgTnISdGoCN2wUTGBHg1n_otKjiARu4oq1zANN7WK5XcC-URJLcCy_58aKwRoTorIZiawkUY4ohj47QCSRqz8_ROO6e7bDqZ4flRUP1_dOCOTwJGYFm2kwWDj=s6016" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg6Wt9YnPWJqsYk9WZAQ4tUlnvwRR6uIH0_hGALbdkjHq0VkwG5MAzeqy6m2oXi9X-sgTnISdGoCN2wUTGBHg1n_otKjiARu4oq1zANN7WK5XcC-URJLcCy_58aKwRoTorIZiawkUY4ohj47QCSRqz8_ROO6e7bDqZ4flRUP1_dOCOTwJGYFm2kwWDj=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The placard is cardboard with a silkscreen printing on it. The original use for this card was to be placed on the dash of your car to signify you as part of the production crew. Dukes filmed on both the Warner Bros. lot and on location so there was a lot of traveling involved for the cast and crew. I've seen a few of these over the years and I'm so glad I finally got one. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEil6XrdAqPbpVmUu8NsFIjGWWksrpqnlr8N-NNJ_T06U7Gsb1X33lctsUctTiR0fkj6Me_4DGOSS8TakCukLYGDnzjkX1Sj8QOnLE1yD1LL51zHv3s8ZSVMcGc8X43gEbcBAgY8bh0RJDFPLIfkRrclszYh0wQANyy7L1otUBv3MlkvxuBeVwh8CL-Y=s4608" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEil6XrdAqPbpVmUu8NsFIjGWWksrpqnlr8N-NNJ_T06U7Gsb1X33lctsUctTiR0fkj6Me_4DGOSS8TakCukLYGDnzjkX1Sj8QOnLE1yD1LL51zHv3s8ZSVMcGc8X43gEbcBAgY8bh0RJDFPLIfkRrclszYh0wQANyy7L1otUBv3MlkvxuBeVwh8CL-Y=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The artwork is amazing. The General Lee is in midflight. Looking close you can see the silkscreen process on the white reflective area on the Gen'ral. I really love the old WB logo. Not many commercial Dukes item have the logo, but it is on some of the original scripts I have. I'm glad it was included on this placard.

Before DukesCollector, I was the only one who got to enjoy all these crazy Dukes items. Ten years ago today I started a journey that I'm still on and it's taken me places I can't believe. Before the blog I got to do some amazing things in the Dukes world, but because of the blog, I've done so many more. I still can't believe that I've added so many amazing pieces to the collection because I write about Dukes of Hazzard collectibles. I love sharing this stuff with the world and I'm so happy you enjoy reading about it. This plate is without question the new centerpiece of my collection, and I'm so grateful that talking about Dukes online made it possible for me to own it. DukesCollector has been jumping the hills of Hazzard County for ten years so far, let's see what the next ten years brings!

The actions images seem like they might actually make the game a little easier to play because you wouldn't have to keep looking up how to play a Road Block or Speed Trap.

Not this particular nightgown, but maybe, that sure would be cool. We used to have a variety store in Brownsville called Fisher's Big Wheel. It was similar to Hills or other pre-Walmart discount stores. Fisher's had a great toy section and probably sold a bunch of other useful stuff, but all of my memories about Fisher's deal with toys, goldfish, arcade machines, and their impressive annual fireworks display. I'm guessing the township put off the fireworks and just used their parking lot, but in my book, it was the Fisher's fireworks. My biggest memory from Fisher's was a disappointing one though. Once the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-eras-of-dukes-of-hazzard.html">dark era of Dukes collecting came, after the show went off the air and items weren't produced before the silver era</a>, Little Larry was always looking for Dukes stuff, but didn't understand why it was no longer on the shelf. I was about six and wouldn't invent the Dukes Collecting Eras for another twenty-six years. But lo and behold, on one faithful day while my mom was checking out at Fisher's Big Wheel, this very night gown, again I'm 99.99% sure it was not this particular one, but one like it, was hanging at the register and highly discounted. I bet it was around six dollars when it was new, but I know it was on big time clearance so it was probably something like fifty cents. I begged my mom to buy it for me but she said it was a girl's nightgown and I certainly didn't need it. All I knew was that it was the first actual Dukes thing I'd seen in a store in forever (probably less than a year) and I needed to add it to my collection. I don't think anyone, including me, knew that I was building a massive collection back then, but I was. </div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhQVx0L3SaOSPHdmERjPZ0RV5Stdc95S0rpK2r_yTETXcAsvhmM8wvKBiKt8pSo-W2viCuIjudhMfmHsDWzMBBsA6U3-C1ewdcO6Gb9Qwq9sZvL2TcwLO9lYK-iyC6yhcT9F3hWP99f9K5Eq4ABiHzR6qcFvZIr39hKz5Rw2HDOm4ak0OmmD3XIDECP=s6016" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhQVx0L3SaOSPHdmERjPZ0RV5Stdc95S0rpK2r_yTETXcAsvhmM8wvKBiKt8pSo-W2viCuIjudhMfmHsDWzMBBsA6U3-C1ewdcO6Gb9Qwq9sZvL2TcwLO9lYK-iyC6yhcT9F3hWP99f9K5Eq4ABiHzR6qcFvZIr39hKz5Rw2HDOm4ak0OmmD3XIDECP=w400-h300" width="400"></a></div><div><br></div>I couldn't believe we left the store without this beautiful My Heart Belongs To Bo, licensed and authentic Dukes of Hazzard nightgown, but we did. It was probably the one and only time I found a Dukes item in the wild that I didn't have and didn't buy it. Being six is tough. I'm sure if I was with either of my grandmothers, both regulars and Fisher's, that nightgown would have been mine. Dolly probably would have made me wear it. But it's ok. I forgive my mom for not buying it for me. I returned the favor by promising to pay her back for the Kenner Ghostbuters Ecto 1 at Fisher's. I swear I paid her back but she assures me I never did.

I was almost there. I used the word haul and posted pictures of all my new stuff. Things haven't changed that much. One of those items I posted about was a Belt Racer Rebel Racer. A Dukes ripoff made by Kusan. I'd never seen another one until now. This is the other Dukes ripoff in the series. You can't have the General Lee without Rosco's police car. I wish some other toy producers had shared that idea because we have so many lonely versions of the General without Rosco to chase him. But Kusan didn't just ripoff the Gen'ral, they included Rosco in the car-on-your-belt fun.

I even found a party pack that had several different items in it. I thought I had it all, but as often happens, I found something else.

I figured I might try to dye the grey suit blue to use as Skelly's skin, but I read online that wouldn't work. Luckily I found Morphsuit's Blue Orc Jaw Dropper costume and knew it would make a great base to the costume. I guess it's from a few years ago because I had trouble getting it. The first one was from a second party seller on amazon and they mistakenly sent me a child's size costume that was pretty funny when I tried it on. I sent that one back and found the correct size on etsy for much cheaper so I was happy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinBV9YrxJIOBH1jQf5JH98Mjt2tmHeUlMc0bjqrwA1Q0xXrOMnnRi4-8NsDkKVaK1omgw-NPcBJeIBkBaoQN3Ayl6ArV1r4Ubuol-Ok0XbLxThrOMPUNa-wizb70PRyIb-VeGlpapC1KQ/s6016/IMG_20211102_085517964.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinBV9YrxJIOBH1jQf5JH98Mjt2tmHeUlMc0bjqrwA1Q0xXrOMnnRi4-8NsDkKVaK1omgw-NPcBJeIBkBaoQN3Ayl6ArV1r4Ubuol-Ok0XbLxThrOMPUNa-wizb70PRyIb-VeGlpapC1KQ/w400-h300/IMG_20211102_085517964.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I based the costume on a mix between three Skeletor figures.

I really love my Skeletor costume. </div></div>Larry Frankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17949715226150725642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809545378535908228.post-18723553914017336522021-09-12T09:10:00.000-04:002021-09-12T09:10:45.296-04:00The Dukes of Hazzard Card Game From The Makers of UNO - My Collection and How To Play<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsiQGNDDulzQeh46Nk5o014FfoRc3ozPp2TOgu34VyTmN7QqoiDJKv8tomhra2QUs4B-8T0I-Zo8q1IiEEgXRUWLP2C8vL8uPu899k9_0h9O4f5Z0R0Ptmfur-yl-5PwrpRoHDL1YJGb4/s6016/IMG_20210901_153509652.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsiQGNDDulzQeh46Nk5o014FfoRc3ozPp2TOgu34VyTmN7QqoiDJKv8tomhra2QUs4B-8T0I-Zo8q1IiEEgXRUWLP2C8vL8uPu899k9_0h9O4f5Z0R0Ptmfur-yl-5PwrpRoHDL1YJGb4/w400-h300/IMG_20210901_153509652.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <div>It's finally time to complete a blog post that I've been talking about for since <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2012/05/new-dukes-stuff-5172012.html">May of 2012</a>. I've had this post in the back of my mind for long time, but never got to it because there was always a part of it that eluded me. Well, to the front of my mind it comes because I got that elusive piece and it's time for this post to shine. I present to you the Dukes of Hazzard Card Game, From The Makers of UNO! I've tracked down nearly all the variations and accessories and laid them all out. In this post, I'll not only show you my collection, but also teach you how to play this complicated little pastime. Let's play a game. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxs1fNGV_CRs_WnIkyNx-G7FJFc_89OR4ORK8VD2BtEq56HbFmP1-np61XkM8flMP-H0yOGgkaDDvWkArce_IwwTU-S2Ymkko0htpXoRe5yWgsVXdMQWBJ8BSfFZfXrVxrw2MfFS10S4M/s6016/IMG_20210901_154319474.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxs1fNGV_CRs_WnIkyNx-G7FJFc_89OR4ORK8VD2BtEq56HbFmP1-np61XkM8flMP-H0yOGgkaDDvWkArce_IwwTU-S2Ymkko0htpXoRe5yWgsVXdMQWBJ8BSfFZfXrVxrw2MfFS10S4M/w400-h300/IMG_20210901_154319474.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This game is a staple in most Dukes collections. It's not hard to find and can be rather inexpensive. If you have a bunch of Dukes stuff, chances are you have this game. I'm fortunate to have copies of the game open as well as in mint condition. This is my best example. It looks brand new. On the front we see The Duke cousins as well as Boss Hogg and a rather tiny General Lee. There is a not-so-standard Dukes logo and a bubble proclaiming "From The Makers of UNO." In the top corner, we see said makers, iGi's logo. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk_UBWSsXPSUdMIWEG69sefiXpSud1SaUtRju3iOAjWHdsEBqNEAMMiX1Zymnbjwazt_vU7iaaNRLtNLd2fzLzAhZahVhMSWRptbr-zN8gQ7NCqYXZwaPJp-uWXhJPStofGSRLTTRCjYU/s6016/IMG_20210907_155524377.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk_UBWSsXPSUdMIWEG69sefiXpSud1SaUtRju3iOAjWHdsEBqNEAMMiX1Zymnbjwazt_vU7iaaNRLtNLd2fzLzAhZahVhMSWRptbr-zN8gQ7NCqYXZwaPJp-uWXhJPStofGSRLTTRCjYU/w400-h300/IMG_20210907_155524377.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Let's talk about UNO first. I happen to have a Dukes era specific deck of America's most popular family card game. The game and it's packaging design have become iconic over the years. I've been playing UNO forever. It seems like we've always had a deck around the house. It's the only thing that ever caused my sister to fight with her best friend Faye. They used to accuse each other of cheating all the time. Faye's mom told them they were no longer allowed to play it at her house. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2seXQiVk2lhyrBmzt_GhvXL7TEEJNdCtriTxinVWlfjLFmrDo3HygO_j8u5UbRCvfy9r-jvp4_12QK5x-FDyhSCE5emKsPlUvxD2nF79obcu0LTYxBYA5mpO5WqH_75g9J8F4zhCNY3Q/s6016/original_cf9c0377-f643-42f8-82cd-92beb87470e3_IMG_20210907_155536478.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2seXQiVk2lhyrBmzt_GhvXL7TEEJNdCtriTxinVWlfjLFmrDo3HygO_j8u5UbRCvfy9r-jvp4_12QK5x-FDyhSCE5emKsPlUvxD2nF79obcu0LTYxBYA5mpO5WqH_75g9J8F4zhCNY3Q/w400-h300/original_cf9c0377-f643-42f8-82cd-92beb87470e3_IMG_20210907_155536478.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In preparation of this blog, I did a little research on the history of America's most popular family card game. It was created in 1971 by an Ohio barber named Merle Robbins, along with his wife, Marie and their family. I have family in Ohio named Robbins, weird. Merle and Marie's family enjoyed playing Crazy 8s with a standard deck of cards but all of the different house rules like skip and reverse, which were played using different face cards, got confusing and they started writing the rules directly on the cards. My sister used to do that when playing spades and once wrote on a deck of my X-Men playing cards and I was more than upset. Back to the Robbins family, once they had the rules written and straightened out, they realized they created a new game and tried their hand at marketing it. They gambled on themselves and printed 5,000 copies of their new game and sold it from their barber shop. It was an instant local hit. When a family friend, Bob Tezak, from Joliet, Illinois got involved and started International Games Incorporated (IGI) the game went coast to coast and was soon a national sensation. IGI declined offers to sell the rights to UNO for years and built it's own card game empire. That empire included the Dukes game, Skip-Bo, Catchword, Vantage, Grabitz, Color Bunch, Sting, spin-offs to UNO such as the UNO Wild Tiles board game and ONO '99 and other licensed games such as GI Joe, Gremlins, Sesame Street, and later Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt_a1mBQevmQcCaJOiVSUkAn_xRHefMh9TevzyMYQ48nM8DZAZ6ci067NrO3Af2XuV8nI4yRwDD3wagV3zocEAi-6Loe7S0JsRX2ZEiilp1XZQZw3tyxXBbfGtgKE1m8Wdw4fh4RaxrNU/s1171/timrochmond_cards.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="759" data-original-width="1171" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt_a1mBQevmQcCaJOiVSUkAn_xRHefMh9TevzyMYQ48nM8DZAZ6ci067NrO3Af2XuV8nI4yRwDD3wagV3zocEAi-6Loe7S0JsRX2ZEiilp1XZQZw3tyxXBbfGtgKE1m8Wdw4fh4RaxrNU/w400-h259/timrochmond_cards.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>One of the brilliant strategies UNO used to broaden its audience was to partner with NASCAR right around the Dukes golden era. UNO was a sponsor on many cars and they even released the first ever NASCAR trading cards. The cards had drivers and cars on the front, and the backs looked like standard UNO cards. UNO sponsored legends like Dale Earnhardt, Buddy Baker and Kyle Petty. Above is Tim Richmond's 01 UNO car. I love 01 cars.</div><div> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM63zHunlvGdDyKi53ykW1k4x7jNUWf4ZKmvPU2ZsExCryM15psNKzeU7yg814fjNyMnFyx8iLKH-ldljefKqq3LtRPaPc-u42GHtu0R5Dep5EKo180j8B7jF_d2bhJBL9NpX-9MLlWSc/s1500/UNO+50.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1167" data-original-width="1500" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM63zHunlvGdDyKi53ykW1k4x7jNUWf4ZKmvPU2ZsExCryM15psNKzeU7yg814fjNyMnFyx8iLKH-ldljefKqq3LtRPaPc-u42GHtu0R5Dep5EKo180j8B7jF_d2bhJBL9NpX-9MLlWSc/w400-h311/UNO+50.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In 1996, IGI was purchased by Mattel and UNO became bigger than ever. These days you can find versions of UNO with He-Man, Ghostbusters. The Olympics, Care Bears, SpongeBob, NFL, Avengers, Fraggle Rock, Fantastic Four, Coca-Cola, Barbie, Disney, Charlie Brown, Spider-Man and Superman. 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of UNO. That is totally why I waited to write this blog and not at all a huge coincidence. The licensed UNO games that Mattel makes are UNO games with characters on the cards and boxes. Before Mattel, when IGI was in charge, they created a new game for each license. The Dukes of Hazzard Card Game From The Makers of UNO isn't just a General Lee on a skip card; it's an entirely unique game with its own rules. Let's learn how to play. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivERo7M0FZGKbz5Jwm3spcTu-ZLrBAqttsuB2giP78kD2SIvfyIaA41ZvaKtYLRm-Psj83-FLe86pi9Aee3EUddd63jmMoC-uGpM9UcktOBvtlkCtriuWyE-QtIeM4a-80Z8Vko5uvKiM/s6016/IMG_20210901_154349942.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivERo7M0FZGKbz5Jwm3spcTu-ZLrBAqttsuB2giP78kD2SIvfyIaA41ZvaKtYLRm-Psj83-FLe86pi9Aee3EUddd63jmMoC-uGpM9UcktOBvtlkCtriuWyE-QtIeM4a-80Z8Vko5uvKiM/w400-h300/IMG_20210901_154349942.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The back of the package has an image of each card and gives an introduction to the game.

I usually don't put watermarks on my images, but I usually take my own pictures of products. These are scans of copywrited cards and I feel like it might be easy for the nefarious ne'er-do-wells of the internet to rip these off and do unscrupulous things with them. Not on my watch scoundrels! But, the readers who were raised by Uncle Jesse wouldn't so such a thing and can understand why I decided to add a watermark to these cards. The back of the cards have the same logo that's on the box. It reminds me more of the Sesame Street logo than Dukes logos we're used to. The background is red, not orange. These cards are distinctive and have a great look to them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWO2sykKx0LRepigJQ0mgiCGiBGW400rqCouTzuwOaq89vgmOpxE-d75pYBpomMov0Fe3AaO_CyXVRLDFAPcar3u3egAIPVIx1y8Mb3Fk542E5s-oimUCzX4ZZkfJEjVbevlf1BK_0-rs/s2048/Card+Backs.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghqZ4kegjNZ5bjViRiCYm4HMp-IVy-qhk0vkrQhLwnS1v0nCuzAFPY-bXO4ATp7y7wgb_ge5Ms8gi2f3d177mxsRntloZpoBBkiQ6sGm8FMBC2DJUF-jw9Qu_d3XZKefFXA2pWXG-q0Fw/s2048/Character+Cards.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1315" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghqZ4kegjNZ5bjViRiCYm4HMp-IVy-qhk0vkrQhLwnS1v0nCuzAFPY-bXO4ATp7y7wgb_ge5Ms8gi2f3d177mxsRntloZpoBBkiQ6sGm8FMBC2DJUF-jw9Qu_d3XZKefFXA2pWXG-q0Fw/w256-h400/Character+Cards.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">There are character cards and action cards. The character cards are similar to the number cards in UNO and the action cards are like the wild cards. The character cards are separated into good guys and bad guys. But c'mon, did we ever really see ol' Boss and Rosco as bad guys? Definitely not Cletus and Flash! The artwork used for these cards is great. It is exclusive to the cards and most likely created by iGi. It's some of the best and most realistic artwork of our beloved Dukes. The good guys have red letters and numbers and the bad guys have black. We'll go over the meaning of the point values soon when we discuss the rules. These images have been used on other non-licensed products over the years. I wonder if the originals are out there anywhere. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWO2sykKx0LRepigJQ0mgiCGiBGW400rqCouTzuwOaq89vgmOpxE-d75pYBpomMov0Fe3AaO_CyXVRLDFAPcar3u3egAIPVIx1y8Mb3Fk542E5s-oimUCzX4ZZkfJEjVbevlf1BK_0-rs/s2048/Card+Backs.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVCUcuPDKpQ9kYabUxo9zsOkp9xivdym5potOeu11aHOOvb_V1_rzi6TkslhFGkaFltVI7_tN_XI2u_mFtBb62LtDkA2mo8wOthT_Y3GjM-cqj4aRUi3G2I2ndB7eZiRvKdqj5cOKJGPk/s1400/Action+Cards.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="1349" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVCUcuPDKpQ9kYabUxo9zsOkp9xivdym5potOeu11aHOOvb_V1_rzi6TkslhFGkaFltVI7_tN_XI2u_mFtBb62LtDkA2mo8wOthT_Y3GjM-cqj4aRUi3G2I2ndB7eZiRvKdqj5cOKJGPk/w385-h400/Action+Cards.jpg" width="385" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The action cards are a lot of fun. Boss Hogg is the man in charge around these here parts and whatever he says goes. Because of that he gets two great action cards. Hazzard County Clout shows ol' JD looming over his kingdom, the Hazzard County Courthouse. If the clout card shows Boss in all his glory, the Hogg Wild card shows the opposite. On this card, Boss is stomping his hat; which must be a result of his scheme being foiled by them Dukes, them Dukes! The other three cards show the Hazzard County Sheriff in action against the Dukes. There is an anonymous Sheriff's Deputy shown on the Road Block and the Parking Ticket cards. This deputy looks an awful lot like Rosco's dipstick himself, Enos Strate, but we all know that Sonny left the show to make his spinoff, Enos, before the merchandise boom and Cletus is more represented on our beloved Dukes Stuff. Cletus has his own bad guy card. I'm not sure why iGi didn't place Rosco or Cletus on these action cards. The Hazzard County Patrol Cars are nicely represented though. The artist did an excellent job on these cards. Except one thing. Where is the General Lee?!!?? Our most favorite car in the world is only shown on the Speed Trap card, and he is much smaller than the patrol car. It's a different image of the Gen'ral that's used on the card box, but even that is tiny compared to the Bo, Luke, Daisy and Boss. The iGi artist got so many details spot on, the characters look perfect, their outfits are great. Ok, Bo is wearing a red shirt instead of yellow, but I'll let that slide because Cooter is wearing a Red Rose hat! Even the courthouse looks just like it does in Hazzard. I just can't figure out why the General Lee is so underutilized. The Gen'ral could be given it's own character card and no one would have doubted the reasoning behind it. It's a mystery. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgltVzD9E_64nscjHuK_SjKnyMTVOpPIB9f2YWEX4RFWQzX8QBllyDx1AK_eoVU1a8N2A-YpKcxcWDAfBwGhHzD7QF6H7PdWTXKxeuvKaotAncumzntWe48c_ckE3xF19EA5h5uT9blJEM/s2048/Instructions.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1826" data-original-width="2048" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgltVzD9E_64nscjHuK_SjKnyMTVOpPIB9f2YWEX4RFWQzX8QBllyDx1AK_eoVU1a8N2A-YpKcxcWDAfBwGhHzD7QF6H7PdWTXKxeuvKaotAncumzntWe48c_ckE3xF19EA5h5uT9blJEM/w400-h356/Instructions.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Along with scanning the cards, I scanned the instructions that came with the card game. The instructions are 10 pages long. The instructions start out with "A wild, wacky, fun card game that the folks from Hazzard County would be proud of." They then go on to lay out the rules in very detailed fashion. They also mention that you should take score using "pencil and paper on an Official 'Dukes of Hazzard' Score Pad available at most toy/game departments." More on that later. A few years ago, in preparation for <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-dukes-of-hazzard-fan-get-together.html">the Dukes of Hazzard Fan Get Together that I hosted at Cooter's in Luray</a>, I rewrote the rules in a way that I think is a little more straight forward. The game basically combines UNO with Rummy. The winner is the first person to reach five hundred points. Points are gained by being the first to "go out" meaning you discard or meld all your cards. I wrote up a two sheet instructions and example of melds that I laid out at the event. The sheets are below. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbAfq6jnPzr90B1mHSM5BRJqqsqu-IcA-s454RrmlaWal-z_I1wHPD6yhRZmFWDJ2iTJUc_P1p9mDjwZ32d6A7dNTOABfU03AYycO1saGzg8GltbQY8CkdN0jIoi2TibFciwmVs68wKOc/s2048/Card+game+rules1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1732" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbAfq6jnPzr90B1mHSM5BRJqqsqu-IcA-s454RrmlaWal-z_I1wHPD6yhRZmFWDJ2iTJUc_P1p9mDjwZ32d6A7dNTOABfU03AYycO1saGzg8GltbQY8CkdN0jIoi2TibFciwmVs68wKOc/w339-h400/Card+game+rules1.jpg" width="339" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbAfq6jnPzr90B1mHSM5BRJqqsqu-IcA-s454RrmlaWal-z_I1wHPD6yhRZmFWDJ2iTJUc_P1p9mDjwZ32d6A7dNTOABfU03AYycO1saGzg8GltbQY8CkdN0jIoi2TibFciwmVs68wKOc/s2048/Card+game+rules1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbAfq6jnPzr90B1mHSM5BRJqqsqu-IcA-s454RrmlaWal-z_I1wHPD6yhRZmFWDJ2iTJUc_P1p9mDjwZ32d6A7dNTOABfU03AYycO1saGzg8GltbQY8CkdN0jIoi2TibFciwmVs68wKOc/s2048/Card+game+rules1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg89dwdcm1gpecQ0IM7AmtfuUsLOoD0co3n9bksYQYMkrljYr5O8OvvkYxhd2dO8a3J_zVU-JmGJFs35mW-d9ZGe9kvbICmwx0hozhP-nK_M4Rkjg5fV-00D1-3BhkBzm2AevepHjjn0EM/s2048/Card+game+melds.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1583" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg89dwdcm1gpecQ0IM7AmtfuUsLOoD0co3n9bksYQYMkrljYr5O8OvvkYxhd2dO8a3J_zVU-JmGJFs35mW-d9ZGe9kvbICmwx0hozhP-nK_M4Rkjg5fV-00D1-3BhkBzm2AevepHjjn0EM/w309-h400/Card+game+melds.jpg" width="309" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I also included a handy pdf file of both of these pages that you can easily print out to help when playing at home. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://dukescollector.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Card-game-rules1.pdf">Download the Instructions PDF here</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://dukescollector.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Card-game-melds.jpg">and the Meld Examples PDF here</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So basically it's like UNO where the action cards are similar to the wild cards, Road Block is like Reverse, Speed Trap is like Skip, Parking Ticket is like Draw Two and Hogg Wild is like Draw Four. The Hazzard County Clout card is unique; it cancels out the action card used on the player using it. If the the opposing player uses a Parking Ticket and you cancel it with a Clout card, the opposing player must draw two, instead of you. If they use a Speed Trap to skip you, a Clout card can be used so you are not skipped and they are skipped on their next turn. That would be a handy card in a regular of UNO. "No, Bill, I will not Draw Four, I'm using my Clout card and you have to Draw Four, and the color is now red!" Unlike in UNO, the character cards are used to "meld" which is similar to Rummy. Melding is basically forming a set. You can either do three or more of one card, like three Cooters, or three or more of one character group, good guys or bad guys. You can't meld Daisy, Daisy and Uncle Jesse, even though they are all good guys, and you can also not meld Boss, Rosco, Cletus, Flash, and Boss. That would be too many Bosses though we could all see Boss trying to get away with that. The first person to "go out" which means they've either melded or discarded all their cars gets a fifty point bonus. Then they count all their melded cards point values. Bo, Luke, Rosco and Boss are the ten point cards, while Daisy, Uncle Jesse, Cooter, Cletus and Flash are each worth five points. The other players add their meld points together then deduct the combined point value of all the cards they're still holding. That's why the action cards have negative points on them. Unlike UNO, each player has the opportunity to gain points after each round. In UNO, only the person who went out gets points. But in the Dukes game, you have the chance of getting negative points if the value of the cards you are holding is greater than the cards you've melded. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Got all that?

This is it! It's the store display box! I finally tracked one down and it was worth the wait! I've seen a few sell on eBay and I've got outbid a few times. The last one I saw came complete with twenty-four sealed packs of the game. That was how it was originally shipped to retailers. It went for big money. This one was missing twenty-three of its card packs. That was all right by me as I really only wanted the box.

It's a little subtle and might not know it's a Dukes card game similar to UNO if you saw it hanging on the shelf. I've considered two reasons for this package's existence. It is very rare and this is the only one I've ever seen. That being said, it might be an error package that somehow got through the assembly line without a box. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkeTqdTLIn6zRmC2V-adIGPzPD6JjX92E_PN1HnFIZs3Iuj1cVKFkRDxl_fyHVHHO6CJ7RCR2voCFqApvKyaKjJDI9O6HV6Ziievu2xlKJl2YwUpC2jU2HxAZ6lSE5cQOOqSBgamfnHE8/s4608/IMG_20210901_155633302.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkeTqdTLIn6zRmC2V-adIGPzPD6JjX92E_PN1HnFIZs3Iuj1cVKFkRDxl_fyHVHHO6CJ7RCR2voCFqApvKyaKjJDI9O6HV6Ziievu2xlKJl2YwUpC2jU2HxAZ6lSE5cQOOqSBgamfnHE8/w400-h300/IMG_20210901_155633302.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But I don't think that's the case because looking at the side, you can see that behind the sealed packs of cards is the instructions. I doubt everything besides the box would make it through inspection. My guess is this is an expansion pack or basically extra cards. Maybe Katie and Faye also got into a fight while playing this game. Faye might have used a Hazzard County Clout to block Katie's Parking Ticket which caused her to draw two more cards right after she melded three Daisy cards and thought she was going out. This might have upset Katie, because she is used to UNO which doesn't have a Clout card and she didn't see it coming, and she might have thrown the cards at Faye out of anger. They were playing at Katie's parent's house and not Faye's, because Faye's mom knew the Dukes card game was from the maker's of UNO (it's all over the box.) Katie's parent's house is also my parent's house, she is my sister after all, and when she threw her cards at Faye, Faye ducked and the cards landed right in Sam's dog dish. Sam was my childhood dog and he was awesome. He happened to be eating at the time and he wasn't about to let some Dukes of Hazzard cards stop him from enjoying his Purina Dog Chow so he chomped down on the Flash and Cooter cards that ended up in his bowl. So having lost some of the Dukes cards that we all know would make Little Larry (me) pretty upset, Katie, Faye, and my Mom would have to go to Fisher Big Wheel or Toy City to buy some more cards. That's where I think this non-box blister pack fits in the to story. Makes sense to me. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJleT-m7o2IRunBPf_PN9F16fyX0hf3faxVZGs3FaP1L8hQ9jVmXIyJszJuR4uKIY0Ie03kKiEzefFsBZh_FJPLlz2kwBK8Ybww_WT3vDYG0WYFcMdf9c-rNZuc3SzZltzAVmb6msgKhk/s6016/IMG_20210901_160011639.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJleT-m7o2IRunBPf_PN9F16fyX0hf3faxVZGs3FaP1L8hQ9jVmXIyJszJuR4uKIY0Ie03kKiEzefFsBZh_FJPLlz2kwBK8Ybww_WT3vDYG0WYFcMdf9c-rNZuc3SzZltzAVmb6msgKhk/w400-h300/IMG_20210901_160011639.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Earlier I quoted the instructions that mentioned you could either take score using pencil and paper or the Official Dukes of Hazzard Score Pad. This has become an extremely rare part of the little Dukes UNO game collection. I've had this gem in the collection for a long time and don't remember actually tracking it down. I know I've only seen a few appear on ebay over the years. My example is sealed. The design is similar to the card box and the display box, but it does have some interesting differences. Instead of naming the action cards like Hazzard County Clout, there's a yellow bubble the says "Autographed Suitable for FRAMING." This is a fun addition. What's more fun is the autographs aren't from Catherine, John, Tom, and Sorrell, but actually from Daisy, Bo, Luke, and Boss Hogg. It's an "in universe" item that means they person who obtained the autographs thought highly enough of the citizens of Hazzard to ask them to sigh their score pad. I would love to know thought process behind this design. iGi designers figured the players of the game will eventually use up all the double sided score sheets and consider discarding the entire package. But because they included the autographs and perforated the score pad label, the Dukes loving card player might cherish this part of the score pad forever. That is some sound logic and I back it completely. I'm really glad I have this rare addition to the Dukes UNO legacy. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Dc5laokuerpUZV3ZLlh4oAHf0EWEtXZfM5t48810HGOcl6C83g1NXinRuKjije3m_aVDswCTiLLaEoI02WTawbDqzWQNuaiNkT7ipyYn24Eyg2mChh3rRMfohE46RvZlVF7Pe29VaZY/s6016/IMG_20210901_160153142.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_Dc5laokuerpUZV3ZLlh4oAHf0EWEtXZfM5t48810HGOcl6C83g1NXinRuKjije3m_aVDswCTiLLaEoI02WTawbDqzWQNuaiNkT7ipyYn24Eyg2mChh3rRMfohE46RvZlVF7Pe29VaZY/w400-h300/IMG_20210901_160153142.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">But the Score Pad is not the rarest addition to the collection. Technically, the store display box above is, but if we're talking about commercially released items, the UNO Sears Family Fun pack takes top prize as the rarest Dukes card game family member. I first wrote about this mult-game pack back when I <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2016/01/new-dukes-stuff-1-132016-holy-grail.html">added it to the collection in 2016</a>. I first saw one on ebay about fifteen years ago and was outbid on it. I didn't see another until five years ago when I won the auction for this one. I haven't seen one since. It's super rare. iGi put their top games into one big package and let Sears sell them together. My guess is this four-pack of games was bundled for Christmas time and was probably seen in one of the ever popular Sears Christmas Book.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC7paoXXPTe0KSb6FoGtDG_-7RdoHp5CgzR1659idbWlGALRZ-RCjZuROUJ8nwvI5ABnBk38MafnCUPa4dz7BrZOrEwYaVxjaV-E9XIxlqfGsRLxdIz0Fs-GsBfORd_5ZaivnwrHUUI1Q/s432/Sears+82+catalog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="432" data-original-width="382" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC7paoXXPTe0KSb6FoGtDG_-7RdoHp5CgzR1659idbWlGALRZ-RCjZuROUJ8nwvI5ABnBk38MafnCUPa4dz7BrZOrEwYaVxjaV-E9XIxlqfGsRLxdIz0Fs-GsBfORd_5ZaivnwrHUUI1Q/w354-h400/Sears+82+catalog.jpg" width="354" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">I couldn't help myself and I searched online for the listing.

I really don't know that that means. I tried to Google Valentine Greetings but it's such a common name that all I got from the search was results about Valentine's Day greetings cards. My guess is it's a foreign release, most likely from the U.K. I figured it's not from Canada because most Dukes items from Canada are bi-lingual in English and French. It might also be from Australia. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. The search continues. I have to find this unique version of the card game. Did it only come wrapped, or in a blister pack? I just don't know. Dave's copy is open so neither of us know. I tried to lay down all the knowledge about the Dukes of Hazzard Card Game From The Makers of UNO, but I don't have all the answers. <div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_PhKcEE0QC5t2d3c9MhfGAiKoaRilEy2dyiQsK0w8Wl94iquo8pMwz7XGgZ2kChTJHbEhHXcIkCJEkz06BcxmCSNymVwqB-0N4agwOfzEiiCjAn50E-9zIrXAd_azcohlzaZc5FVbvtw/s6016/IMG_20210911_170228531.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_PhKcEE0QC5t2d3c9MhfGAiKoaRilEy2dyiQsK0w8Wl94iquo8pMwz7XGgZ2kChTJHbEhHXcIkCJEkz06BcxmCSNymVwqB-0N4agwOfzEiiCjAn50E-9zIrXAd_azcohlzaZc5FVbvtw/w400-h300/IMG_20210911_170228531.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I got myself a little obsessed with UNO while preparing this blog post. I have that 1979 deck I pictured earlier. When I found it, there was also a UNO Score Pad with it. Then I thought about the couple other versions I have. I got an Avengers set for my birthday a few years ago. Then I remembered I bought my sister a giant deck of UNO card for Christmas that were around here somewhere. I don't think she's ever played this version with Faye. That might be disastrous. I've been buying a lot of Masters of the Universe stuff this year and when I saw there was He-Man UNO, I couldn't pass it up. And when looking for the UNO 50th Anniversary edition image I used above, I saw that the 50th Anniversary edition was highly discounted at Walmart and it came with an awesome UNO coin so I bought that set too. I guess I have quite a little UNO collection going. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8EjsLbRthglEyW9aQMlJVoVsZ0bnYnfe8T8Zglia4bC46fIxhB16GpE5PgTjDppq7nRdC7w-Dsu2BfAdxjWA1JpvtMkEsSJ5sWzgZ4cKIEtL1lxF22u58Mk8_M8mOWroIQgKSLPAh_Pg/s6016/IMG_20210911_171644154.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8EjsLbRthglEyW9aQMlJVoVsZ0bnYnfe8T8Zglia4bC46fIxhB16GpE5PgTjDppq7nRdC7w-Dsu2BfAdxjWA1JpvtMkEsSJ5sWzgZ4cKIEtL1lxF22u58Mk8_M8mOWroIQgKSLPAh_Pg/w400-h300/IMG_20210911_171644154.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>This has been a long blog. I really enjoyed writing it and hope you enjoyed reading it. Here's a picture of my Dukes of Hazzard Card Game From The Makers of UNO collection as well as my budding UNO collection. It was a lot of fun playing with all these cards. Like I said before, I have several "playing decks" of the Dukes card game. If you ever want to play the game, and can figure out all those wild and wacky rules, meet up with me at Cooter's or come on over to the DukesCollector headquarters and I'll deal you in!</div></div>Larry Frankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17949715226150725642noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809545378535908228.post-66273494118693963372021-08-22T14:01:00.000-04:002021-08-22T14:01:53.270-04:002005 Dukes of Hazzard Movie DVD Stand-Up Display<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbjJKmzrsT0HC6wdFS6mtYQyahpZPmJA5nh-qdBG3HeBHN9kVOM3Tx3FdFIdMhtX4OdabHgZt-eCmYqadPQ1Sm2EiUFXfTUV37IA72pwgYM7Xj6kKliRaK1OrLH6zctsAxLPy8LL6ivn8/s6016/IMG_20210402_160917895.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6016" data-original-width="4512" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbjJKmzrsT0HC6wdFS6mtYQyahpZPmJA5nh-qdBG3HeBHN9kVOM3Tx3FdFIdMhtX4OdabHgZt-eCmYqadPQ1Sm2EiUFXfTUV37IA72pwgYM7Xj6kKliRaK1OrLH6zctsAxLPy8LL6ivn8/w300-h400/IMG_20210402_160917895.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Look at this beauty!

I'll usually get at least two of everything, one to open and one to keep sealed. If it's tougher to find or if I can only get one, it will most likely stay in the package.

It's so big and takes up a lot of space. I never really considered not putting it together. I knew it would be so perfect as not only a beautiful piece on it's own but also an amazing way to display other Dukes movie items. It was built to hold dozens of copies of the movie on DVD, but I will use it to show off different versions of the movie, toys, promotional items, and other fun stuff. This will be the center of my movie collection which will be in one corner of my entire Dukes collection. I have to figure out which corner this will go in. It's crazy that I've never seen another one of these bad boys in the years since the movie came out. If it was meant for a bigger chain like Walmart, there would definitely have been other copies of it out there. It must have been an independent video store piece, and by 2005 those were becoming scarce. Maybe it wasn't even actually released and this is one of a kind. Whatever the case, it's the only one I've ever seen and I'm so happy I own it. I can't wait to fill it with movie stuff. I love this hobby. </div><p></p></div>Larry Frankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17949715226150725642noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809545378535908228.post-62606765354827010772021-06-28T07:47:00.000-04:002021-06-28T23:37:01.463-04:00I Turn 40 Today!

Let's take a look at this amazing day.<div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixkaMg5M6rWAe7gq1AWkiabD99NomgdcP4BsqZ3amYHtTlnXmRRhbGlAVUeRSBfGInu6vGSWlssX6P5Mh6Xh-CUbwP-xFpiBD9ays6ucqdnQ6aIIu8JZnVUMR4QxHoKUGTzDZmYlVsTdw/s6016/IMG_20210619_200956815_HDR.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixkaMg5M6rWAe7gq1AWkiabD99NomgdcP4BsqZ3amYHtTlnXmRRhbGlAVUeRSBfGInu6vGSWlssX6P5Mh6Xh-CUbwP-xFpiBD9ays6ucqdnQ6aIIu8JZnVUMR4QxHoKUGTzDZmYlVsTdw/w400-h300/IMG_20210619_200956815_HDR.jpg" width="400"></a></div><div><br></div>When and where? That might be the most perfect response to a text, ever. I knew my Dukes of Hazzard themed party had to be over the top and only one thing would make it complete. I needed to have the General Lee at my party. I asked our buddy Jim Dahlman, who's <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-dukes-of-hazzard-fan-get-together.html">General Lee I had the honor of driving at Cooter's</a>, if he would bring his beautiful Gen'ral to the party and he texted me back: "When and where?" almost immediately. What a great friend. His car made the party. I didn't tell anyone about the General being there and I loved seeing everyone's face as they walked in. Jim, you are the man!</div><div> <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUGdhCp_W59qgGMIc7hEyUjoupJzpGUmP2bIRqFAIFz84H32JDFR8NrWviojlMUJAA-u9CjB3uEHyaLvWqkK2WgntZW6gqdgLWy0wWNycqEudc5kas0Nz5eLwpPLi6z1NIpSdnYyDa1oY/s2291/IMG_20210619_172712983%257E2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1527" data-original-width="2291" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUGdhCp_W59qgGMIc7hEyUjoupJzpGUmP2bIRqFAIFz84H32JDFR8NrWviojlMUJAA-u9CjB3uEHyaLvWqkK2WgntZW6gqdgLWy0wWNycqEudc5kas0Nz5eLwpPLi6z1NIpSdnYyDa1oY/w400-h266/IMG_20210619_172712983%257E2.jpg" width="400"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The General Lee made the party, but Natalie made the party happen.

When I was a tiny Dukes lover, my babysitter, Stacy, knew a pizza delivery guy who delivered pizzas using a General Lee. This was the mid 80s when Chargers were still somewhat common. I have no idea how accurate the replica was and no clue who the driver was. But it was something I never forgot. I've been dreaming about recreating that memory for a long time.

A Duke cousin from across the pond shows up and the Dukes accept him into the family. Daisy kind of falls for him while Luke doesn't think his story is adding up. Bo just smiles a lot and goes along with Luke's plan and gives a couple yeehaws. Turns out the Duke isn't a Duke and is trying to scam the folks of Hazzard. Classic. If we were to find a 16mm projector, we could watch it using this film. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSVacMDWAx1HZV503_dbxigB2h4AC6nD0haKVx0iyugLSYz3mm4lYj7U8ZFnC6-ZJIRexLZ15BA3vjFcBg0IT_1dwdPfWS3QOG1q0DCgda2Rzzhou9K64E1EeKlVQk2rGTo2iW6Be239U/s6016/IMG_20210529_155701952.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSVacMDWAx1HZV503_dbxigB2h4AC6nD0haKVx0iyugLSYz3mm4lYj7U8ZFnC6-ZJIRexLZ15BA3vjFcBg0IT_1dwdPfWS3QOG1q0DCgda2Rzzhou9K64E1EeKlVQk2rGTo2iW6Be239U/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_155701952.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The reel is marked Viacom Enterprises.

It was sent a few years after the original air date when the show was still in production. Only the first three seasons were produced for syndication on this type of film and later episodes were sent on tape.

We all know Funko. The company behind Pop Funkos, the figures that include every license in pop culture. There are Pop Funko figures for Marvel, DC, Wrestling, NFL, NBA, music, Disney, Star Wars, nearly every movie and TV show; there are Pops from almost everything, except one thing. There are no Pop Funko Dukes of Hazzard. It's a real shame too because they have great figures in cars, like Ghostbusters, A-Team, and Fast and the Furious that have the figures sticking out of the roof. Maybe someday. But until that day, the fine folks at Funko have released this line of blind-bag collectibles called Daisy Dukes Dogs. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUkhpbEG7LS-S0ZHRMtufWp5SX98fMdqRBlDbZTwLJWzaCRg61FAia_Tk4ZUyt92VrFFv1Z-IZasfeghbg1iE2aF4pGLPmhjDmwIANdKqpi6jK8b9-YlhmakAKEbBF_UFrwGwNtIJ2xUY/s4608/IMG_20210529_160656175.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUkhpbEG7LS-S0ZHRMtufWp5SX98fMdqRBlDbZTwLJWzaCRg61FAia_Tk4ZUyt92VrFFv1Z-IZasfeghbg1iE2aF4pGLPmhjDmwIANdKqpi6jK8b9-YlhmakAKEbBF_UFrwGwNtIJ2xUY/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_160656175.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>What are Daisy Dukes Dogs? Well, I guess they are dogs wearing Daisy Dukes. Blind-bags are all the rage these days. Similar to baseball and trading card packs where you never know which card you're going to get, blind-bags are collectibles that may contain common or rare figures or toys. There are several different dogs wearing short shorts in this collection. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp6w3ptfKs70nWaqcU8XWgFt29zgAUYqePmNmYF8_ZsVrGfSf0orpfkQKeX4RaQUHPkg5ujYbXQNKy9RNX9dEj9zTyZWShxulYAT8o8T3C9G60ZK6EwhTiKGU9OrnbHzjcqV3TNfmKY8s/s4608/IMG_20210529_160701507.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp6w3ptfKs70nWaqcU8XWgFt29zgAUYqePmNmYF8_ZsVrGfSf0orpfkQKeX4RaQUHPkg5ujYbXQNKy9RNX9dEj9zTyZWShxulYAT8o8T3C9G60ZK6EwhTiKGU9OrnbHzjcqV3TNfmKY8s/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_160701507.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I cam across these online and saw that it was made by Funko, Way back when this blog was new, I met Reis O'Brien, who at the time was a fellow blogger and custom toy designer who shares our love for all things Dukes. <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-dukes-stuff-7302012-vhs-tapes-and.html">We met up at San Diego Comic Con back in 2012</a>. Reis has climbed the ranks of toy creator stardom and is now a lead designer at Funko. He's big time. We still stay in touch online. As soon as I saw one of these online I had to ask Reis about it. He said they weren't Dukes related, but we both know he had to say that. I asked if there was a Flash looking dog and Reis said of course. That's the one I had to add to the collection. So now I have a Flash in Daisy Dukes in my collection.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigxa9EJxaHJTE1CrocnEPhXX7J-bOOVfpxd_Km9zkPuMjsvg4umxK5_QyOccSbkBP4o3cI69cx2MhEeY1dsbQ2R4Fj2td1MgqrXpz2MnC5Z0sQKDRnaCt7yCl_A26cDZeGfuavCzvVb1g/s4608/IMG_20210529_160737006.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigxa9EJxaHJTE1CrocnEPhXX7J-bOOVfpxd_Km9zkPuMjsvg4umxK5_QyOccSbkBP4o3cI69cx2MhEeY1dsbQ2R4Fj2td1MgqrXpz2MnC5Z0sQKDRnaCt7yCl_A26cDZeGfuavCzvVb1g/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_160737006.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The package has a Daisy Dukes Dogs logo front and center. Short shorts are synonymous with Daisy Duke. Catherine popularized the look. To call something Daisy Dukes you are always acknowledging Daisy and the Dukes of Hazzard. I'm glad Funko is finally in the Dukes business, at least in a tiny way. Here's hoping we see official Dukes Funko items in the future. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitUY7wv_nsrMveEjI8dTaFDCJCsponfA-x3skb5lph90wfdUshtkj60GeGUwaK6ScPbdEJkG0f5U_N_pTZIhWH8IOujQ99f4DIPk2JMe00-0PMa43TzREuZa3M7qYqtxY3kE0gUwe5ddw/s4608/IMG_20210529_160746604.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitUY7wv_nsrMveEjI8dTaFDCJCsponfA-x3skb5lph90wfdUshtkj60GeGUwaK6ScPbdEJkG0f5U_N_pTZIhWH8IOujQ99f4DIPk2JMe00-0PMa43TzREuZa3M7qYqtxY3kE0gUwe5ddw/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_160746604.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHgTY0cxRqZCeT7JJexusao62s3up9imkRAoaJQE0wh7k-WnecsVieOW1d51NRl3UebMkY2N4eBuD6S0q3-1cuYSCht2bpa_OYfkK8rgFFn71MBgf6dAmomW7e-g2F1KlmCDZIpKeLHE/s4608/IMG_20210529_160816892.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHgTY0cxRqZCeT7JJexusao62s3up9imkRAoaJQE0wh7k-WnecsVieOW1d51NRl3UebMkY2N4eBuD6S0q3-1cuYSCht2bpa_OYfkK8rgFFn71MBgf6dAmomW7e-g2F1KlmCDZIpKeLHE/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_160816892.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhay-sKjLp18Nb0wb_6yfWnWRASyZ1ec5a1U71SgUVdzSgZWuLv3fKMm2AZ8mgK9U9J2cBEHmrxLn6_HTxSAOCJ6wno0ci1-WXxt8BHVpEv8OU1Q1RlN5KUGyEoLp_i8qjhYYY0LR3EIfc/s4608/IMG_20210529_160838934.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhay-sKjLp18Nb0wb_6yfWnWRASyZ1ec5a1U71SgUVdzSgZWuLv3fKMm2AZ8mgK9U9J2cBEHmrxLn6_HTxSAOCJ6wno0ci1-WXxt8BHVpEv8OU1Q1RlN5KUGyEoLp_i8qjhYYY0LR3EIfc/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_160838934.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The other dogs in Daisy's shorts are shown on the package.

These are unlicensed Dukes inspired strip ticket lottos. Twice a year, I host a fundraiser for our church called the Bonanza. Our team of four run the event and I'm the MC. We have a raffle where an attendee can win a big cash prize and we give away other prizes and money. One of the popular items are strip tickets where Bonanza goers can win a quick few hundred bucks. I'm usually not the one selling these, but I almost always announce the winners. They usually have different themes like tabby-tails and lucky sevens. I've never seen Dukes inspired ones.

If you've been to a Dukes event that involves cars, you've probably run into Bobby Scott. He is one of the hardest working and most trustworthy Dukes fans in the hobby. He organizes all the General Lees at the big events and is a great guy. <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2019/08/cooters-good-ol-boy-fest-in-shenandoah.html">He took me for a spin around the track in his General Lee at Good Ol' Boy fest and it was so much fun.</a> He created and runs the Hazzard Run event with Cooter's Place and it's grown to be one of the premiere Dukes events year in and year out. I can't wait for this year's event in October. More on that in a future post. Bobby came across these great lottos and thought I would like to ad them to my collection. He was so right.

We all know the Lions as a service organization the supports so many causes such as sight, hearing, and speech conservation, diabetes awareness and youth outreach. They do amazing work. They also create fun pins and happen to have a couple Dukes pins. In 2008 a set of pins were released that included some of the best vehicles from TV and movies. Along with the General Lee and Dixie, the set includes, the 1989 Batmobile, Fred's Flintmobile, The Munster Koach from the Munsters, Jed's truck form the Beverly Hillbilles, the Sanford and Son pickup, the A-Team van, the Torino from Starskey and Hutch, KITT, and Andy's police car from the Andy Griffith Show.

Since these pins aren't that old, maybe the PDG Larry Anderson or Lion Barbara Anderson will google their own name and come across this post and start a conversation about the origin of these pins. I love the fact that a fellow Larry is named on the General Lee pin.

I believe these lighters were made by the same company. They were sold at retail at discount shops and off brand stores. They didn't quite make it to Walmarts or Targets. This is an odd little package. I've avoided buying individual ones because I wanted the package too. I bought a set from a fellow collector years ago, but it got lost along the way somehow.

It's just the same '71 Charger body they used for their General Lee. I'm sure they used the least amount of effort and capital possible and probably already hade the mold for this style car. They just made some orange and some white. The police badge logo is pretty similar to the real thing. It's obvious why WB sued the company. I see a scenario where a young Dukes fan asked their grandparents to buy some Dukes toys and they went to a discount store, maybe one that also had a grocery store, like Fayette County's infamous Penchin's Village, and bought these kinda Dukes toys instead of the real thing. A respected toy store like Toy City, in Roscoe, PA wouldn't carry these type of rip offs; they only sold the licensed Dukes of Hazzard goodness. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheRybu0YZWApXNqCgQBwRbwq4gCvNy9B8AWkDMBe6xhKYRsb6luxHY8ssK-bJibaGBUg4JQfvSOBtk8XTsfg0O6kNlsszGQRWQOn6lkxEM6TgjMH57OweCJQAW2W0Oa8dxXNPW7BqY2Hs/s6016/IMG_20210529_162436038.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheRybu0YZWApXNqCgQBwRbwq4gCvNy9B8AWkDMBe6xhKYRsb6luxHY8ssK-bJibaGBUg4JQfvSOBtk8XTsfg0O6kNlsszGQRWQOn6lkxEM6TgjMH57OweCJQAW2W0Oa8dxXNPW7BqY2Hs/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_162436038.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>My collection sure has evolved since I started this blog.

A lot of times those emails lead to new additions to the collection and I'm so grateful for them. This time I was in Sam's Club when Samantha emailed me about a pair of shoes she was considering selling. Being deep in the big box store, the picture took a few minutes to load on my phone but when it came through I jumped on the opportunity. We want back and forth with emails as I went up and down the huge isles at Sam's. Before I checked out, we had a deal and I sent her some Venmo money. I bought some bulk groceries and a new pair of Dukes shoes that day. It was a good day. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjy_4ZWxpOJtbxfS481iZ9ahU9Mct6z2a3f_t1IkZoJoMLlWajR4L6rkkvBmnl-Ei8PV5YfQzwqpThCWsstAkBT6CO5eUSv9am96u9VX3ZMqS3uznWwlh4FCGrih5ctbbGxrkw03tIMYI/s4608/IMG_20210529_162630011.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjy_4ZWxpOJtbxfS481iZ9ahU9Mct6z2a3f_t1IkZoJoMLlWajR4L6rkkvBmnl-Ei8PV5YfQzwqpThCWsstAkBT6CO5eUSv9am96u9VX3ZMqS3uznWwlh4FCGrih5ctbbGxrkw03tIMYI/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_162630011.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I've never seen this variation of Dukes shoes before. These are considered Daisy Duke shoes and were marketed toward girls who loved the Dukes. Girl's Dukes stuff is more rare because less of it was made. I've seen other pairs of Daisy shoes before. There is a pair at Cooter's in Nashville on display, and your pal and mine, Dave DeWitt, has a pair. But both of those pair of shoes have more canvas and are mostly white. They do have the same Daisy flower on them, but they are totally different shoes. I've never seen a pair like this before. </div><div> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM2M1HPhai2CgN7ewrr3cM88bJIZ-qM6Om6E6ZyTVejXBOjz5lnmKc7U_NymXeinT6B6LSd4NMeb_4jte6MAlWWFuZP-8J8WH7jA5hnG4BVF3a1t6ev2Uv7HgiBhf8L0u3en2Mxuqd3uE/s4608/IMG_20210529_162647064.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM2M1HPhai2CgN7ewrr3cM88bJIZ-qM6Om6E6ZyTVejXBOjz5lnmKc7U_NymXeinT6B6LSd4NMeb_4jte6MAlWWFuZP-8J8WH7jA5hnG4BVF3a1t6ev2Uv7HgiBhf8L0u3en2Mxuqd3uE/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_162647064.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>They are quite small. Maybe the pair Dave and Cooter's have were geared toward elementary aged kids and these are the toddler variety. Another big difference is the bottom. The other pair has a cartoon image of Daisy herself on the sole. This pair has the same General Lee jumping image that's one the more common blue shoes. They don't have the connecting wire or the ID card, but it's obvious they are in brand new condition and have never been worn. The laces appear to have never been untied. </div><div> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVoFxYlKL-Bq4QMGD5BDbjkNvLMTjNIf63fJXqvr8lXQ5xlJ81PclOitcSpXlrvSVbRCAvObIN5OyL4chqPU2xEsQHJZ1lGkofamhFDKVrCU4w_op5fHPfaR8UNWF2eteywzUi4jmiT9c/s4608/IMG_20210529_162652335.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVoFxYlKL-Bq4QMGD5BDbjkNvLMTjNIf63fJXqvr8lXQ5xlJ81PclOitcSpXlrvSVbRCAvObIN5OyL4chqPU2xEsQHJZ1lGkofamhFDKVrCU4w_op5fHPfaR8UNWF2eteywzUi4jmiT9c/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_162652335.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>299 is written in silver marker on the front of the bottom.

I still don't believe it. You can see the differences in the four pairs. The larger lace-up pair have plain white laces and the orange 01 is printed directly on the material. The velcro pair and smaller lace-ups have a similar white insert with the 01s printed on it. These are all quite different and there's still at least another style of Daisy shoes, a Boss Hogg themed pair, and a grey General Lee pair that has printed wheels on the side. And those are just the ones I know about. I got a lot more shoes to find. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglOWXlRZ-gXa2jmMB3bXhu31riuUj88R2tCiajLeaqLDsaEFEEpqyv5ufOElwb6JpPo007m7_mGcTmsSKS8wtWxDIg6SinGdFfH_Eh6zYQnWs1iXlX5vuHzdEqIfjZsKII2-zbQTcHNfY/s6016/IMG_20210529_163213814.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglOWXlRZ-gXa2jmMB3bXhu31riuUj88R2tCiajLeaqLDsaEFEEpqyv5ufOElwb6JpPo007m7_mGcTmsSKS8wtWxDIg6SinGdFfH_Eh6zYQnWs1iXlX5vuHzdEqIfjZsKII2-zbQTcHNfY/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_163213814.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I think it's interesting that there are so many variations in the shoe laces. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsw-o5OK_C-cFlZK6mDj4lU9nbCnZ_GaxeDzGCsPdHZRtQ6sICwiBKzAZHo2tecmtyABO_lkzkF3Jyc2J4V63g-pV6WE-reskdLB3O4xVpLNnndew4clpZDkC-SBQYVwVNBw16ZzWNrkY/s6016/IMG_20210529_163327454.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsw-o5OK_C-cFlZK6mDj4lU9nbCnZ_GaxeDzGCsPdHZRtQ6sICwiBKzAZHo2tecmtyABO_lkzkF3Jyc2J4V63g-pV6WE-reskdLB3O4xVpLNnndew4clpZDkC-SBQYVwVNBw16ZzWNrkY/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_163327454.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>There's even a packaged set of Dukes shoe laces you could buy individually. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTlOKTJMT9rfgVvGDJk-8D9gGL-YpTpxt5AAGA89VUGg0hfeQvvg8sQb4RYRxll196Mk-bAqnFtjTErXMpwzq9o8L_aJ0mUenkEAQMDBMkhxjNMcgrVw2SzQSGdJU60OK_hnavSd9A6Lc/s4608/IMG_20210529_163352532.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTlOKTJMT9rfgVvGDJk-8D9gGL-YpTpxt5AAGA89VUGg0hfeQvvg8sQb4RYRxll196Mk-bAqnFtjTErXMpwzq9o8L_aJ0mUenkEAQMDBMkhxjNMcgrVw2SzQSGdJU60OK_hnavSd9A6Lc/w400-h300/IMG_20210529_163352532.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I have several pair of Dukes shoe laces and they aren't terribly hard to find. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHQxjNzBnU0XGT6Aqh7J5h890wtqkC9SwJ67oroEoSGYo3HluFD4umBNHPpKxJRQqdAG2zcg8aPN3GX_8JMwestAWC8OO9wk1NtkgqB-xp7dCAqEAptelHKe-q0C-uTrnMgHFiQmuKOyM/s6016/IMG_20210529_163427785.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6016" data-original-width="4512" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHQxjNzBnU0XGT6Aqh7J5h890wtqkC9SwJ67oroEoSGYo3HluFD4umBNHPpKxJRQqdAG2zcg8aPN3GX_8JMwestAWC8OO9wk1NtkgqB-xp7dCAqEAptelHKe-q0C-uTrnMgHFiQmuKOyM/w300-h400/IMG_20210529_163427785.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The laces were produced by LJN who are famously behind the large rubber WWF figures as well as the Thundercats action figures.

This hobby wouldn't be where it is if Ben and Alma didn't love the fans like they do. And it's not just Ben and Alma. The Cooter's team, lead by the incomparable Michael Smith, work so hard to keep Cooter's Place at the forefront of the Dukes of Hazzard world. This newest Dukes Greenlight diecast was a collaboration with many people involved including Ben, Alma, Michael, and so many more. The love everyone put into this piece really shows and we get to reap the rewards as Dukes fans. This is a very special little truck. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm so happy to see a Greenlight Hazzardous Collection diecast that has different, not generic, packaging.

Behind the truck is the Hazzard County Garage logo that's seen on the truck. The truck is labeled as the 1969 Chevy Tow Truck.

I'll let you in on a little secret. I got to give my input on the Greenie! Michael asked me what combination the Greenie should be. My opinion was to go with the classic green wheels and chassis. And that's what was chosen. The other options were just green wheels, or a green cab. I thought the green cab against the red boom would look Christmasy, and only green wheels and no chassis wouldn't be enough green. I'm honored by opinion was used and I'm so happy I got to be a small part of this production. Without question, this is my favorite Green Machine in all of Greenlight's lineup. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5I7Eg8YBTWyp8FJJ4IuGkyK9jKJVvjLS7vBZ1Du0h-GQzVRY6biSExOrtwHBnRHnQzsRznXNmpY8TCigoTgeD8kdRwd6MUsS9zKBS54ArhDqKfmzm-CXpTAuM2iKcpMU2FB1rQ8R7p68/s4608/IMG_20210406_152356617.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5I7Eg8YBTWyp8FJJ4IuGkyK9jKJVvjLS7vBZ1Du0h-GQzVRY6biSExOrtwHBnRHnQzsRznXNmpY8TCigoTgeD8kdRwd6MUsS9zKBS54ArhDqKfmzm-CXpTAuM2iKcpMU2FB1rQ8R7p68/w400-h300/IMG_20210406_152356617.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I just don't think an all green cab would have looked right.

It was announced today, on Cooter's pages and on <a href="https://twitter.com/larryafranks">my twitter</a> (I love when I get to make announcements!) that Cooter's has finalized a deal with Greenlight to produce the sought after Cooter's Tow Truck in 1/18 scale. The truck will be highly detailed on par with the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2020/06/118-dixie-jeep-greenlights-1979-jeep-cj.html">1/18 Dixie Jeep</a> and the <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2019/04/greenlight-collectibles-hazzard-county.html">1/18 Rosco Patrol Car</a>. Some production details are still being ironed out, but Michael is hard at work making this new release awesome. I'm honored to say I get to give some input on this one too. It's going to be great. There will be two versions of the 1/18. There will be a standard Greenlight Hazzardous Collection version that will come in a box similar to the Jeep and patrol cars, and there will be a Cooter's Place exclusive that will have packaging similar to the 1/64. We are working on the possibility of adding some exclusive features and Easter eggs to the Cooter's Place version. Stay Tuned for more details as they become available. This is so much fun!

I bet we would do really well playing this game. I went with a sealed version, though, and have no intention of opening it up.

I got this perfect example of the Hazard (it's tough to spell it that way, I keep wanting to add and other Z) postcard from a friend and I am super excited about it. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrxkkg6OINbHCoXmcXCSkSGukKdmBzTG_qqi_bXXon4NBKR8u2KR4aeDCdgFyqvSkpTyRUSAF3pr1dBrXQpk4oSMpBL258Ecn51BbznsJtdX0xOiK-QgwvS5S9i_WmDOf_jHuquh2NriE/s4608/IMG_20210204_164116978.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrxkkg6OINbHCoXmcXCSkSGukKdmBzTG_qqi_bXXon4NBKR8u2KR4aeDCdgFyqvSkpTyRUSAF3pr1dBrXQpk4oSMpBL258Ecn51BbznsJtdX0xOiK-QgwvS5S9i_WmDOf_jHuquh2NriE/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_164116978.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The second post card features an early photo of Luke, Daisy, and Bo with their pre-pilot cowboy hats on.

I just stumbled across this card within my collection when I was looking through a magazine. I have no idea when I bought it or where I got it from. Since I had a couple of other postcards ready for this blog post, I included this one. So it's the one "not new" Dukes item in this bunch. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIX1CMG81s5S4ggAzi8Zav5luWSPhOMuMZvjT5KSXMs7tBTkzsXL57EHp4TYdVzeh_VOMoIXWvioWAHzhx7PnTua44k2DiPJdHQJu7vCllhZrm5HxrvSc0xwJcQmG1MEi14CqDGsThB3g/s6016/IMG_20210204_164136649.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIX1CMG81s5S4ggAzi8Zav5luWSPhOMuMZvjT5KSXMs7tBTkzsXL57EHp4TYdVzeh_VOMoIXWvioWAHzhx7PnTua44k2DiPJdHQJu7vCllhZrm5HxrvSc0xwJcQmG1MEi14CqDGsThB3g/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_164136649.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>The third postcard comes all the way from Argentina. This postcard advertises that Dukes being shown on the television network Uniseries Retro TV. It was produced in 2005. It was definitely produced "in-house" as it doesn't follow any particular themes that we are used to. It features the General Lee on the front along with our cousins on top. Eagle-eye fans will notice this is actually the movie logo because of the underline Z below the logo. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2e1ekutzZChf6Y-R1jB14ly8xmNPydWst8pcrHlSS2cYEzHD8ahte9J2fnx0u2esRwpwHX8t7ZmvazFFjiFUSyD0crZUPYelJR3YBRICdNBnuYtNX-JYoiyLbyNkJl8yNRafpapfZT0k/s6016/IMG_20210204_164143698.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2e1ekutzZChf6Y-R1jB14ly8xmNPydWst8pcrHlSS2cYEzHD8ahte9J2fnx0u2esRwpwHX8t7ZmvazFFjiFUSyD0crZUPYelJR3YBRICdNBnuYtNX-JYoiyLbyNkJl8yNRafpapfZT0k/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_164143698.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The back is all kind of crazy. It seems like someone pulled some images from the internet and applied all sorts of photoshop techniques. There is a barely visible image of Luke and Daisy jumping in the Gen'ral along with Boss Hogg in front. Slightly more visible is a connect-the-dots image of Bo, Luke and Daisy. These graphics are taken directly from one of the golden era coloring books. Below that is an 01 that doens't fit anywhere along with another movie logo. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAuIQGBcC-87jdxj137nFKCtZ_ZpfeOfrVVf3qL3CXLKNVF5v0Arq16qZY7bRdOIAJOD1dYzkYyDZNHvcaFnNLPMVOJ17lqj3aTJbC1Y4wCNylFmi8p9Ox6i9QV4-u3cIKkWFO0xbrVrY/s4608/IMG_20210204_164152591.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAuIQGBcC-87jdxj137nFKCtZ_ZpfeOfrVVf3qL3CXLKNVF5v0Arq16qZY7bRdOIAJOD1dYzkYyDZNHvcaFnNLPMVOJ17lqj3aTJbC1Y4wCNylFmi8p9Ox6i9QV4-u3cIKkWFO0xbrVrY/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_164152591.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Below all that it gets really interesting. The General Lee in front appears to be a 1/25 diecast that has mostly been "cartoonized" meaning the edges were softened and the colors were blurred together. Behind that is the CustomShop American Muscle 1/25 diecast kit where it has a big grey circle that says "diecast" a yellow "retro" circle was added. There's also a line from the theme song, a long ye-haw, and "YES!" for some reason. The bottom says something similar to "the only place for retro classics." It seems you can also cut out the lower portion of the card. There is a lot going on on the card. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixD-jEhXeZ-ibODrSPP7KTjkf5lm6KDDveDwnPoD3d1VcGnS9uRhOH74C2LjblMxRzkfAENK4KnROdr_1E0EgsIHbj6MvYDCNjIG4OUGojMdkrzvMxmfcShwlBVIaAJUxWAQRpFLILe8Q/s4608/IMG_20210204_164157629_BURST000_COVER.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixD-jEhXeZ-ibODrSPP7KTjkf5lm6KDDveDwnPoD3d1VcGnS9uRhOH74C2LjblMxRzkfAENK4KnROdr_1E0EgsIHbj6MvYDCNjIG4OUGojMdkrzvMxmfcShwlBVIaAJUxWAQRpFLILe8Q/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_164157629_BURST000_COVER.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Looks like the postcard was made by Via Postal.

Underoos are always tough to find. This is the Thermal Underwear Dukes of Hazzard set for boys and the girls yellow Bo and Luke Duke Underwear set. It's interesting how different the box designs are. The purple girls package has "from the Dukes of Hazzard" on it so small I barely saw it. The image on the girls set is very artistic and appears to be unique to this set. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFdBZv-zTvOYmoo5uZ_5vorRZBtaWBHjzOgpfSiaRgMpl3nmHgXPbya1FrdlKYBgXktXw-uxKy0OGO-SoeBwNjb_C8TVIxV_3yIUhelgpTgmoVCKPOBhJkQf1YowbaxTYJkz8ulff8sz0/s4608/IMG_20210204_164346738.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFdBZv-zTvOYmoo5uZ_5vorRZBtaWBHjzOgpfSiaRgMpl3nmHgXPbya1FrdlKYBgXktXw-uxKy0OGO-SoeBwNjb_C8TVIxV_3yIUhelgpTgmoVCKPOBhJkQf1YowbaxTYJkz8ulff8sz0/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_164346738.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The thermal set is opened but complete.

This is a two volume set similar to a <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2012/05/new-dukes-stuff-5172012.html">VHS box set I bought in 2012</a>. I thought it was just the DVD version of that set, but it has the same design theme but different images and episodes. The VHS has three tapes each with three episodes and a theme. There's the General Lee collection, the Rosco P. Coltrane collection, and the Daisy Duke collection. These DVDs also have three episodes each, but no theme. The VHS tapes came with a box to put the three DVD cases in it. The DVDs don't have a box like that. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjLdRF7rIpddjUuqdgGItOzEdUQjj1-YA3rng7WWCHFJrgbFQCCY6T8aeSz16rAzyKkXIu9VZ7NtiAeE4ZLhfCuuWUhyphenhyphenSnJPKEmvcI5ROZGcNWEz_BIIcQW9BK6-gEAy4DCjmUadbl-S4/s6016/IMG_20210204_164712345.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjLdRF7rIpddjUuqdgGItOzEdUQjj1-YA3rng7WWCHFJrgbFQCCY6T8aeSz16rAzyKkXIu9VZ7NtiAeE4ZLhfCuuWUhyphenhyphenSnJPKEmvcI5ROZGcNWEz_BIIcQW9BK6-gEAy4DCjmUadbl-S4/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_164712345.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Two of the nine episodes from the VHS set are included within the six episodes on these DVDs.

If this is your time here on DukesCollector, you might be conflicted about the movie and wonder what my take is. I love the movie. I was in the movie. And I was a guest at the premiere of the movie. I still get excited when I'm channel surfing and find it on TV, these days IFC plays it pretty often. If you'd like to read all about my exploits leading up to the movie, on set, and at the premiere, I wrote one of my favorite blog posts a few years ago. Check it out <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2015/07/ten-years-ago-today-dukes-of-hazzard.html">here</a>. These first movie-centric items are incredibly rare and I'm very excited to add them to the collection. These are invitations to media pre-screenings. These we given to reviewers as the movie was shown before it opened. I search for these sort of items all the time and this is the first time I've seen anything like this in over fifteen years since the movie came out. The really odd part is these two separate invitations were posted for sale within days of each other from sellers in opposite parts of the country. I'm so glad I got them both. Let's take a better look at each. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcaHgHJjqs5D1xrz3zyOrGB28xRSihJKg2WcaOuH8AAlCTE1OPQZJhfdR3I2YzT4CDpKa-3psKn4OSAYD3owmQAQTQmaqKgycyVMGiai1T-4Vb2-duFxbnpnh7vvZ6EfbD3SccXyQT_w/s6016/IMG_20210204_164552704.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVcaHgHJjqs5D1xrz3zyOrGB28xRSihJKg2WcaOuH8AAlCTE1OPQZJhfdR3I2YzT4CDpKa-3psKn4OSAYD3owmQAQTQmaqKgycyVMGiai1T-4Vb2-duFxbnpnh7vvZ6EfbD3SccXyQT_w/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_164552704.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The first ticket is for a screening that took place on Wednesday August 3.

It's from a media screening in Miami. It took place Tuesday, August 2. It was provided by radio stations and newspapers in the area. These types of screenings are also sometimes used for winners of contests or simply given away. In my area, I've attended several media and early screenings of movies. There are usually a few seats reserved for journalists and the rest of the theater is filled so the reviewers can also gauge the reaction of the crowd. Usually the tickets are given out to movie goers that sign up for these types of screenings in advance. Everything is through email these days so these types of awesome tickets probably aren't used anymore. I'm just a random movie goer, so maybe the media still get these fancy tickets. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOC_n7M3AiunGrea38uUJzRjiiaTYUrXLhu1mDUxvddKGY84eTT3EmgE4V1rVy1lKG-un7BnBVjSpNYRocu9gTniIxFidvO_-_1WEf9qYQzZOMyhlm5hKNm_kLzkVW1K9canU81_BZuCc/s6016/IMG_20210204_164616887.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOC_n7M3AiunGrea38uUJzRjiiaTYUrXLhu1mDUxvddKGY84eTT3EmgE4V1rVy1lKG-un7BnBVjSpNYRocu9gTniIxFidvO_-_1WEf9qYQzZOMyhlm5hKNm_kLzkVW1K9canU81_BZuCc/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_164616887.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The back of this ticket is full color and has the beautiful Warner Bros.

I guess they are highlighting the boots and Daisy Dukes. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTC3_FV9nkt8zzna3rm5NoV_vEvdvqPTIOYDhg_fCCbIU26EKC3W_87CD91mERb-VQPYQqcp_eV337hdRre9oPCFXQMDKBRrC9hnliCz0Cr2J0OMMS0FOG5y9LgKppDDQPJQr7KW8m-s4/s4608/IMG_20210204_164904716.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTC3_FV9nkt8zzna3rm5NoV_vEvdvqPTIOYDhg_fCCbIU26EKC3W_87CD91mERb-VQPYQqcp_eV337hdRre9oPCFXQMDKBRrC9hnliCz0Cr2J0OMMS0FOG5y9LgKppDDQPJQr7KW8m-s4/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_164904716.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>This album design doesn't have much Dukes to it.

The actual artwork on the record has the image of Jessica complete with her head. I'm not sure how I missed these records over the last sixteen years. While writing this I searched ebay again and found a standard radio promotional "not for sale" record single of the song as well. It actually mentions the Dukes more that either of these versions. It will be here pretty soon, but will come in a generic sleeve and just has text on the label. I'll include it in a future post. Of course writing about these records makes me want get back to the plan of writing a whole post about Dukes of Hazzard music releases. I sure got a lot! I'll have to get that put together soon. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p></div>Larry Frankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17949715226150725642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809545378535908228.post-876673703599946242021-02-11T16:55:00.000-05:002021-02-11T16:55:16.468-05:00New Dukes Stuff - 2/11/2021 - Doodle Craft Kit, Visors, Gordy Pinball Game, John Schneider Belt Buckle and More<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3JvbDvWu5JtpDX0K34O-RA2jTSrMnwUpaRf2MYAPH1JA9KbqLnZpKo08hGDGuLW5fnptaVOFxILb2vRhV9YxR73BqyCLGn8VwajVBE_DAJ4vgmYcbyR7lxn4S3hJziXKQTwdULp2ItGU/s6016/IMG_20210204_161017790.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3JvbDvWu5JtpDX0K34O-RA2jTSrMnwUpaRf2MYAPH1JA9KbqLnZpKo08hGDGuLW5fnptaVOFxILb2vRhV9YxR73BqyCLGn8VwajVBE_DAJ4vgmYcbyR7lxn4S3hJziXKQTwdULp2ItGU/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_161017790.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>My most recent haul of new Dukes of Hazzard goodness is chock full of unique, rare, and hard to find items.

I've been chasing these visors for years. I <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2020/01/new-dukes-stuff-01142020-catherine-bach.html">got one last year that was a little beat up</a> and I was happy. I knew there were different versions but I was content to just have one. Then, all of a sudden, almost like new ones started showing up on ebay. The first few went for big money, just like the one I bought last year. Then they just kept showing up. I contacted the seller and he told me that magical story about discovering an unopened pallet from the golden era. I would love to find unopened Dukes stuff by the crate, but I've made some pretty amazing discoveries over the years, so I'm not complaining. I was able to get my hands on all four varieties of the visor in perfect condition. As you can see there are two basic styles and two different colors, Bo and Luke in red and blue and General Lee in red and blue.

Missed opportunity there. The flashlight has batteries included! This was uncommon in the '80s.

This is probably the rarest Gordy Dukes item there is.

This bad boy popped up on ebay with a moderate buy it now and I couldn't hit the button fast enough. I thought someone else beat me too it for a second, but I just had my address screwed up on my ebay profile. I'm sure glad it wasn't shipped to the UK by mistake.

Way before Gameboys, DSs, and of course cell phones, kids had handheld games with actual moving parts. Games like this and those fun little water filled games with the rings and air bubbles were everywhere. Gordy was slapping the Dukes license on everything they could so you know a pinball game had to make the cut. The game is as big as most Gordy packages. The top has an autoscore multiplier. The concept that it had anything "auto" is funny. You basically had to multiply this number by where the little ball landed to get your score. I guess this is an educational math toy. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRpLbTcUUpiLwCt_k4tvTW_OcGamXlQr4csIeIePQA8IYhZZhGVBh1LxjdLJe5CcEL7smGd_ZAGa_DYc0mAAHKBHfy8AESMO9H8m4OeirwX_X2_lkHlqWG-KYkqLqe4BKrKNlx7LaQFIU/s4608/IMG_20210204_161923117.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRpLbTcUUpiLwCt_k4tvTW_OcGamXlQr4csIeIePQA8IYhZZhGVBh1LxjdLJe5CcEL7smGd_ZAGa_DYc0mAAHKBHfy8AESMO9H8m4OeirwX_X2_lkHlqWG-KYkqLqe4BKrKNlx7LaQFIU/w400-h300/IMG_20210204_161923117.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Only a certain few Gordy Dukes toys have the "other Duke Boys" Coy and Vance.

It's more gold in color. Perhaps the buckle maker, or bucklist as I like to say, was experimenting with different colors before he landed on the the right one he used for the numbered 200 he produced. Maybe that's why this one is marked AP and not a number, perhaps it's a reject. Nevertheless, it was dedicated to a John. Do I believe the John in question is actually John Schneider? I know it is.

She told me his last name. John told me that Gary was his partner in a business venture called John Schneider's Celebrity Machine in Burbank, CA. Doing some research I found out that John's exotic car shop was right across the street from Warner Bros. Studios where the Dukes was filmed and John opened the shop in 1982 when he and Tom left the show. John confirmed the belt buckle was once his and he gave it to Gary. It was really great of John to talk about the buckle with me. And Verna is ecstatic that what she always believed turned out to be true.

This is a fun blog so I'm only going to highlight the good stuff. I think 2020 has been the year of the Dixie Jeep! We've gotten more toys dedicated to Daisy's white Jeep than ever before. With so many new Dixie items in the collection, I thought I would close out the year of Dixie by adding one more Daisy's Dixie Jeep piece to the mix. Behold the OEM Jeep Wrangler Golden Eagle Hood Decal!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS4NQIFTsbewwTXYZsxG0qkXgn-q8qJ4U-Ch7Yvt_teLVz2T3fRJk0ERvQMnW5kORmY8gfc_FnOWm5UdknsRTPx74d-DMn1-s9J8SPtSahLcPOArvcz2Ln9nUGLu8AMnOLOlyQm7YywYc/s1440/Screenshot_20180831-214245_2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="870" data-original-width="1440" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS4NQIFTsbewwTXYZsxG0qkXgn-q8qJ4U-Ch7Yvt_teLVz2T3fRJk0ERvQMnW5kORmY8gfc_FnOWm5UdknsRTPx74d-DMn1-s9J8SPtSahLcPOArvcz2Ln9nUGLu8AMnOLOlyQm7YywYc/w400-h241/Screenshot_20180831-214245_2.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now you remember back in 2018, <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2018/09/official-jeep-pays-homage-to-daisy-duke.html">when I wrote a post about that year's Jeep Wrangler</a> having a special edition Golden Eagle package available. That edition paid tribute to Daisy Duke and the Dukes of Hazzard by including a small nod to Daisy and her iconic shorts on the updated Golden Eagle hood decal. That particular Jeep was only available in 2018. I came close to buying one more than a few times. I never pulled the trigger on the actual Jeep, but it was killing me that I didn't own an official nod from the Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep company to the Dukes. So I bought the next best thing, the OEM Golden Eagle decal. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. I had to order this beauty from my local Jeep dealership. This is the actual decal that came from the factory on the 2018 special editions and is available through Jeep in case the Jeep owner's original got damaged. I thought about buying this back in '18 but I was told they were all sold out. Recently I encountered someone with the Jeep and took some pictures of the shorts logo. That got me thinking about the decal again and I found out they were available. My local dealership couldn't tell me for sure if the OEM part included the Daisy logo, but we gambled and ordered it. The giant decal came in and included that all important little pair of shorts with the daisy on them. I'm so happy to have this unique piece in the collection. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNZ00r73qplnzKWipbCIGJzupJBQ-Xj-6YCqhoDcWHNZR03zOBwAQGOSQ62X3IyzQGE7Il48XXabMDSAxdFkPqF6a2YQiqwNL6SA7mMsG49gCi2rYQ2m1VT6AFrPXF5owYcpTWzgpIPY4/s1024/golden+eagle+og.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNZ00r73qplnzKWipbCIGJzupJBQ-Xj-6YCqhoDcWHNZR03zOBwAQGOSQ62X3IyzQGE7Il48XXabMDSAxdFkPqF6a2YQiqwNL6SA7mMsG49gCi2rYQ2m1VT6AFrPXF5owYcpTWzgpIPY4/w400-h300/golden+eagle+og.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDVjLe764IcGMnf09zlWsTjJp4cEBDkw6YsvpmaTHV752T7G9we6SXF9-GTmYtfSpj_LhMSJHW2PcoDAu2H6Iufzo4Vt51YlV7FpkJisr3QlrJVVty00zHeAcYIhnrhksdWVzWIvxBQY/s1024/golden+eagle+18+nt.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGDVjLe764IcGMnf09zlWsTjJp4cEBDkw6YsvpmaTHV752T7G9we6SXF9-GTmYtfSpj_LhMSJHW2PcoDAu2H6Iufzo4Vt51YlV7FpkJisr3QlrJVVty00zHeAcYIhnrhksdWVzWIvxBQY/w400-h300/golden+eagle+18+nt.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The design isn't the same as the original Golden Eagle that was on Dixie.

Excellent question. It appears the decal has a blue covering that is also used as a place marker. You'll notice there are a few cutouts on my decal. Wrangler windshields are designed to have the ability to be folded forward. The hood has bumpers and a handle to secure the windshield when folded down. The decal's cutouts are for the bumpers and handle. The cutouts also help place the decal correctly on the hood. The decal would be peeled off the bottom layer with the blue layer still adhered. Once the decal is in place, the blue layer is then peeled off. I don't have any intention of peeling either layer, so I have a blue eagle. I'm ok with it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIRWoaQdd1wGp68mjH0wZi0PnQhgqNef6cjmz-hX81su9ekeHmEZejTBqoFFGIC2Elq0JRxl3BFNLL5emvMBik3OGxKoY7rdxiSuNyMY1RB21zbFwsbzY-DLROmsQNrGRlOIdb7_fweuw/s4608/IMG_20201222_142432732.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIRWoaQdd1wGp68mjH0wZi0PnQhgqNef6cjmz-hX81su9ekeHmEZejTBqoFFGIC2Elq0JRxl3BFNLL5emvMBik3OGxKoY7rdxiSuNyMY1RB21zbFwsbzY-DLROmsQNrGRlOIdb7_fweuw/w400-h300/IMG_20201222_142432732.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>On the bottom right tail feather is the reason I bought the decal.

For the first time in a long time I am caught up on the Greenlights. There are currently none released that I don't have. That will of course change soon when the <a href="http://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2020/11/breaking-news-new-cooters-place.html">amazing Cooter's Exclusive Cooter's Tow Truck</a> comes out next month. I really can't wait for that one. The Tow Truck is definitely one of the must have main vehicles from the Dukes. Two other must haves have recently been released by Greenlight in 1/64 scale: Daisy's Dixie Jeep and Uncle Jesse's Pickup. Along with those two come a whole bunch of neighboring county's patrol cars and a few other of fun 1/64s from the Dukes. Also included in this post are three 1/43 police cars and a new 1/18 Hazzard Patrol car. That's a lot of cars. This is a bog post.

If you remember <a href="https://dukescollector.blogspot.com/2020/04/greenlight-143-dixie-jeep-plus-164.html">my post about the 1/43 Dixie Jeep</a>, I wrote about AMC, the owner of the Jeep brand at the time, striking up a deal with the producers of the Dukes to have their cars featured on the show. Front and center was Dixie that became a trademark of Daisy's character but there were other AMC cars used on the show as well. A memorable scene that uses the Matador is the end credits scene where Rosco chases the General Lee around a tree a couple of times. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfLAIjCUSuESHwRC03fak6ncrGsMEUl2OK3Zin-kPzVGZW27M63CUKu3sUnpcPH9Zhk92whj_FDlUdnA2wp8Ev4iphkww03GjRaH_nkIxTfEAYRbuqJHPm5KplMICYZ-pICU3S96Lw3HA/s6016/IMG_20201020_173941124.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfLAIjCUSuESHwRC03fak6ncrGsMEUl2OK3Zin-kPzVGZW27M63CUKu3sUnpcPH9Zhk92whj_FDlUdnA2wp8Ev4iphkww03GjRaH_nkIxTfEAYRbuqJHPm5KplMICYZ-pICU3S96Lw3HA/w400-h300/IMG_20201020_173941124.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcqIAJbXxOS7oS0kNC2ZyD_oZNG6DqJ6uCpangxNIv5MhI4RNvqTzy05bJeDjeRLA-mJFdyzp5ZykOYhl0qF6OxKcwEzb8Qw4u8bgqIaEgOXySOaCSmqSaOEEcY7jCxG31jqHYUW-5yek/s4608/IMG_20201020_173950481.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcqIAJbXxOS7oS0kNC2ZyD_oZNG6DqJ6uCpangxNIv5MhI4RNvqTzy05bJeDjeRLA-mJFdyzp5ZykOYhl0qF6OxKcwEzb8Qw4u8bgqIaEgOXySOaCSmqSaOEEcY7jCxG31jqHYUW-5yek/w400-h300/IMG_20201020_173950481.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The car doesn't scream Rosco car to me, but Greenlight is determined to give us every iteration of the Hazzard Patrol car, and I'm determined to add them all to the collection. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjZ5aFMsTJQRL7T8xWgDDAVNloUhrRnqp4OWGGcRBWy9to_9JKUHLnIMGcsCSJKDp97GxF9wv6HRaqrFcTDbWoiuI9Q4_uDioLOe7YwZLIVZNGehEKeNNnEYoc7b_0hf9CdyioxYjMRQw/s4608/IMG_20201020_173958237.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjZ5aFMsTJQRL7T8xWgDDAVNloUhrRnqp4OWGGcRBWy9to_9JKUHLnIMGcsCSJKDp97GxF9wv6HRaqrFcTDbWoiuI9Q4_uDioLOe7YwZLIVZNGehEKeNNnEYoc7b_0hf9CdyioxYjMRQw/w400-h300/IMG_20201020_173958237.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>The color is a very white white.

Emma Tisdale is one of the best recurring characters on the Dukes. She delivered mail in Hazzard on a dirt bike and was always doing crazy motorcycle stunts. She also had a crush on Uncle Jesse. She was very "by the Book" and made Bo, Luke, and even Enos show her identification before she would give them their mail. She was very funny and a great character. She appeared in several episodes but in the season three episode "The Hack of Hazzard" we found out she doesn't just run the post office, she also drives Hazzard's only taxicab and owns the Tisdale Cab Company. She is a busy woman. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUdaIUhUFZoO_qmOS6fs5FfnlUR75N7DgeXeXG3sXb-YAVXq5sYHlbFpa-tqsvhDpAvPpXEK47gHg3dDYu5thO38JRlDtR40jMyKzmtlzm3DnueUMKZaZE09mewjr9RnbnwwTijNKl7JU/s6016/IMG_20201117_163715666.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4512" data-original-width="6016" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUdaIUhUFZoO_qmOS6fs5FfnlUR75N7DgeXeXG3sXb-YAVXq5sYHlbFpa-tqsvhDpAvPpXEK47gHg3dDYu5thO38JRlDtR40jMyKzmtlzm3DnueUMKZaZE09mewjr9RnbnwwTijNKl7JU/w400-h300/IMG_20201117_163715666.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK3a_EvbgvsdPKkXslOMWX8cmVQSaj5TZaHOfyXRu_IstItKtuAd7HqTcmibP9Y209I6qbvI3c2PFmZzqesiTfhn41WZWSwo9GlJLmBWR4QTQ5cANVNTPxj1tB64uCcEFPVolh5sJqNNk/s4608/IMG_20201117_163728079.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK3a_EvbgvsdPKkXslOMWX8cmVQSaj5TZaHOfyXRu_IstItKtuAd7HqTcmibP9Y209I6qbvI3c2PFmZzqesiTfhn41WZWSwo9GlJLmBWR4QTQ5cANVNTPxj1tB64uCcEFPVolh5sJqNNk/w400-h300/IMG_20201117_163728079.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>She leaves Hazzard to visit her mother and the Dukes fill in for her.

There will even been a special edition Greenie or Green Machine version available. Like the other GL releases, the greenie will be made in small quantities and will carry a higher price tag. I'm super excited about the greenie because I had a little input on the design of it. I'll post pictures as soon as I get them. </div><div><br /></div><div>I've had a lot of conversations with fellow collectors about the Greenlight Hazzardous line and everyone says they really hope GL makes Cooter's Tow Truck. Like I said above, it has been so hard not talking about this one. It's great to finally be able to! Go straight over to Cooter's site and get your preorder in now! This is going to be the best GL yet!!</div></div>Larry Frankshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17949715226150725642noreply@blogger.com1
