THE TWELVE DAYS OF CARDMAS: LAUNDRY EDITION - DAY 1

 OH BOB IT'S TIME FOR CARDMAS AGAIN AND I'M NOT READY AT ALL. USUALLY I START PREPARING POSTS ONCE THORZUL KICKS OFF HIS CARDVENT CALENDAR BUT THIS YEAR I WAS ON A ROLL WRITING UP ACTUAL POSTS SO I PROCRASTINATED AND NOW IT'S HERE AND I GOT NOTHIN. PLUS I HAVE TO DO A LOT OF STUFF TODAY! GO TO THE GYM, WASH DISHES, DO THE LAUNDRY

WAIT 

LAUNDRY

IT'S SO CRAZY IT JUST MIGHT WORK

ALL RIGHTY FOLKS, LET'S KICK OFF THE HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES WITH SOME OLD DIRTY LAUNDRY

THIS HERE IS A 1996-97 UPPER DECK HOCKEY GAME JERSEY CARD OF MARK MESSIER. THE BACK BOASTS IT IS ONE OF THE FIRST-EVER GAME WORN JERSEY CARDS FROM UPPER DECK AND THIS PARTICULAR ONE WAS THE FIRST-EVER JERSEY CARD OF ANY TYPE THAT I PULLED OUT OF A PACK. I GRABBED SOME PACKS AT TARGET ONE DAY, DISCOVERED THAT THE ONE THIS WAS IN WAS LUMPY AND OPENED IT UP TO FIND THIS. I'VE PULLED A STUPID AMOUNT OF RELIC CARDS FROM PACKS SINCE THEN BUT YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO PULL YOUR FIRST BEEG MOJO HITTTZZ AND MINE WAS AN INNER CIRCLE HOCKEY HALL OF FAMER WITH A PRETTY BLUE SWATCH

OBVIOUSLY WHEN I PULLED THIS CARD I WAS FREAKED OUT AND HAD LITTLE SPINNING DOLLAR SIGNS IN MY EYEBALLS. I TRIED TO SELL IT AT A HOCKEY MEMORABILIA STORE IN THE MALL, BUT THE BOOK VALUE AT THE TIME WAS $160 AND I WANTED EVERY PENNY AND THE BUYER WOULDN'T GO THAT HIGH SO I KEPT IT. THIS ARTICLE FROM PUCK JUNK A WHILE AGO SHOWS OFF HOW THE BOOK VALUE HAS CHANGED THROUGH THE YEARS, BUT THE THING IS NO MATTER WHAT BECKETT SAYS I STILL HAVE THE CARD AND IT'S STILL GONNA BE PRICEY IF I TRY TO MOVE IT. BESIDES I WOULD HAVE JUST SPENT THE MONEY ON CRAPPY NEW CARDS BACK THEN ANYWAY OR WORSE, BOUGHT SOME PACKS. THIS WAY I GET TO SHOW IT OFF AND AND ENJOY THE FACT THAT NOT ALL MY CARDS ARE JUNKY BASE CARDS. ALSO, I HAVE ABSOULUTELY NO IDEA WHAT THE SECOND JERSEY CARD I PULLED WAS SO THIS POST WOULD BE MUCH HARDER TO WRITE

NO TREES HAVE GONE UP IN FLAMES YET THIS YEAR, ONLY SOCIETY, SO LET'S LIVE IN THE PAST WITH THE NOSTALGIA BAIT CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. I DON'T REMEMBER THAT KID IN THE BACK THOUGH. AND I AM NEVER GOING TO FIT ALL THE ORNAMENTS ON THAT SHITASS LITTLE TREE CHARLIE GOT. OH WELL, CHRISTMAS ISN'T ABOUT ALL THAT, IT'S ABOUT SHEPHERDS BEING SORE AFRAID OR SOMETHING. I'LL FIGURE IT ALL OUT LATER TIME FOR THE JINGLE BELLS AND THE HO HO HO AND THE MISTLETOE AND PRESENTS FOR PRETTY GIRLS
