When I was a kid, I was obsessed with sports trading cards. In baseball, especially, I was brutal. I would trade five Mickey Mantles for one Arnold Portocarrero if the latter was tough to get. Remember, in those days we purchased our Topps cards one package at a time, for a nickel. The bubble gum was good, too, and I can recall chewing ten sticks at a time. But, I daydream. Below is the first installment of my personally edited (sorry Sara if my pix are inferior to yours) Kingswood Trading cards. So, grab a couple chiclets, chew and enjoy.
This looks like your basic sports trading card…James…Andres…Mark…and Sammy are favored cards for all sports fans.Some cards were pulled off the market for various reasons, such as “who is this?” …no one buys onions with his precious camp money…or players get injured.Some are simply nice pictures of happy boys like Tommy…Lochlan…Ian…Michael…and Rex.Others show people dressing up…some seriously…and others not so much.And finally, for this first installment, some tell a story.Explain this predicament to your friends, Andrew.Or, perhaps this one, brother Skip!
Even Mr. Weird gets a trading card. Many more to follow in an upcoming report.
