Variations on a theme
Apparently Topps did something silly in one of their new "car-payment or one pack of cards" priced sets.
Then Chris Harris fixed it.
Well I fixed the fixing!
If John Flasburgh relic (Or better yet a Flansburgh/Linnell DUAL relic!) was actually in Triple Threads I'd buy a case. Well, not exactly buy one. I might wander into a card shop, throw one of those atrocious pink talking Princess Celestia dolls* at the shopkeep and grab and run away with a case of Triple Threads. But only for the Johns.
Also the venerable SlangKo Provided me with the proper font for my 1953 Topps homebrew cartoon so now it's fixed!
Thanks! '54 toons to come tomorrow!
*Yes, my daughter has one of these things. My wife calls it "The pink horse with the sun on its butt"

Heritage Heroes Jumbo Pack #2
American Heritage Heroes: The Anti-bluh.
Also:
Q) How dumb do you have to be to have a small pile of cards featuring first responders at the Towers and forget to post them on 9/11?
A) As dumb as me apparently...
I'll correct that error eventually.
NOW for the second jumbo pack of this historical goodness. Once again, best cards in the pack ranked 1-5 with odd pop culture references where applicable.
Yay! My first space card! And I scanned it upside down by accident! Ya know what... THERE'S NO UP IN SPACE. So this is perfectly all right. Here's a nice space themed song from They Might Be Giants' best album: Space Suit.
These two were back to back in the pack and I thought that was interesting even if you don't. So... would you rather be a humanitarian or a political hero? I don't want either, I WANT A MONKEY.
Can someone explain to me why I've gotten no less than three requests for my Joshua Chamberlain Medal of Honor card*? Did he do something really special or are you all confusing him with Wilt. Oh yeah, Charlton. Here's me about 15 minutes after getting that pet monkey I wished for.
Is that Yankee Doodle Dandy checkin' out Molly's pitcher? I believe he is! Get yer head in the game! There's Redcoats out there! Here's some Molly Hatchet that's good to listen to while downing a pitcher of beer.
I was somewhat surprised to see that Topps didn't use the iconic image of the flag being raised for this card. I guess that one probably costs some $$$ to reprint. This card did inspire me to work on one of my crazy epic insane post ideas, but that will have to wait for another time...
*that card is already in a packaged labeled "Dinged Corners". Sorry, everyone else.
