BLARGLE FLARGLE GARGLE FLARG
I'VE GOT SOME BLOGGING INERTIA GOING AND I DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE RIGHT NOW SO HERE'S ANOTHER FROM THE DRAFT FOLDER. I'M KEEPING THE FDGFADGF STUFF IN BECAUSE I THINK IT'S FUNNY
MOAR CANADIA CARDS. AMONG THE MANY FRANKENSETS I'M BUILDING BUT NOT SHOWING OFF IS ONE FOR PANINI GOLDEN AGE SETS. I HAVE A SMALL PILE FROM 2012-2014 I GOT OUT OF JUNK BOXES AT THE LCS BUT NOWHERE NEAR A COMPLETE SET FOR ANY OF THEM. SO: FRANKENSET! THERE WERE A TON OF CARDS ON THE SITE THAT WOULD HAVE FIT IN THE BINDER BUT I WHITTLED IT DOWN TO MY FOUR FAVORITES
MOE BERG WAS A SPY. BASICALLY JAMES BOND IF HE WAS A CATCHER. I HAVE WANTED TO BUY A VINTAGE CARD OF HIM FOR A WHILE BUT SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK AND THEN THEY ALL GOT EXPENSIVE. THEN I STARTED LOOKING FOR ONE FROM A LEGEND SET. I NEVER FOUND ONE BUT I BET THERE IS ONE HIDING IN A BOX OF UNFINISHED SETS. NOW I HAVE ONE. I WANTED ONE OF HIM IN A BASEBALL UNIFORM BUT THIS ONE WITH THE EYEBROWS IS SO FANTASTIC I CAN'T COMPLAIN
HERE IS THE BACK OF THE CARD. GOLDEN AGE ALWAYS HAD THESE QUASI-VINTAGEY SINGLE COLOR FAKE SCREENPRINTED LOOKING BACKS THAT I HATE WHEN THEY ARE ON HOOPS OR DONRUSS BUT I'M FINE WITH IN THIS SET FOR SOME REASON. TWO OF THE BACKS USE THIS RUSTY MAROON COLOR, THE OTHER IS DARK BLUE. THIS BUGS ME AND MAKES ME YELL ADFGADFGADFG. THREE DIFFERENT COLORS OR ALL SAME COLORS MAKES MY BRAIN HAPPY
LON CHANEY JR IS A GREAT WEREWOLF, AN OK FRANKENSTEIN AND A LOUSY DRACULA. HE'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE MONSTERS THO AS HE WAS GREAT IN OF MICE AND MEN AS LENNY AND HAS AN IMDB PAGE THAT KEEPS SCROLLING FOR MILES. MY FAVORITE LON CHENEY JR. FILM IS SPIDER BABY: OR THE MADDEST STORY EVER TOLD. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT GOOFYASS PICTURE. ALSO STARRING A BABY SID HAIG. I NEED A TRADING CARD OF SID HAIG TOO
EVERYONE KNOWS I LOVE JIM BOUTON, I LOVE BALL FOUR, I EVEN STARTED ANOTHER CARD BLOG ABOUT BALL FOUR AND THEN I GOT LAID OFF AND ALL THE CREATIVITY WAS CRUSHED OUT OF MY SOUL AND THE BLOGS ALL WENT TO SHIT. I'LL PROBABLY GET LAID OFF AGAIN SOONER OR LATEER BUT THE JOKES ON THEM, I'M ALREADY A BROKEN WRECK OF A MAN SO THEY CAN'T FUCK ME UP ANY MORE THAN I ALREADY AM. JIM WROTE MORE THAN ONE BOOK, I HAVE A VINTAGE COPY OF I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY FLOATING AROUND SOMEWHERE. I ALSO HAVE FOUL BALL, A BOOK ABOUT HOW HE TRIED TO RESTORE A SUPER OLD HISTORIC BALLBARK BUT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT WERE PUSHING TO SCRAP IT AND BUILD A BRAND NEW BALLPARK THAT WOULD COST MORE MONEY AGAINST THE WISHES OF THE TOWN VOTERS AND THE BOOK KIND OF HINTS THAT THIS WAS BEING DONE TO BUILD ON TOP OF SOME EPA VIOLATIONS TO PROTECT A LOCAL POLLUTING COMPANY BUT THE BOOK IS KINDA RAMBLY AND I NEVER REALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. THIS BOOK IS GOOD BUT IT READS LIKE IF BALL FOUR WAS WRITTEN BY YOUR CRAZY LIBERAL UNCLE WHO IS INTO A BUNCH OF CONSPIRICY THEORIES
LIBERALS LOVE CONSPIRACY THEORIES TOO, IT'S NOT ALL ALEX JOMES Q BULLSHIT YA KNOW
JIMI.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS JIMI.
I SHOULD JUST BUY ALL THE JIMI CARDS ON THAT SITE, THERE'S A LOT OF THEM SURPRISINGLY
I WENT AHEAD AND PUT THE CARDS INTO THE FRANKENSET BINDER WHILE WRITING THIS POST. MOE AND LON ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER ON THE SAME PAGE THAT WAS VERY EMPTY BEFORE NOW. JIMI WENT INTO A PAGE WITH FRANK ROBINSON. JIM DIDN'T GO IN AT ALL BECAUSE GERAL FORD SHARES HIS CARD NUMBER AND I'D RATHER PUT IT WITH MY BOUTON COLLECTION ANYWAY. FUN FACT: THE GOLDEN AGE FRANKENSET IS IN THE SAME BINDER AS MY 2012 WWE HERITAGE SET, WHICH IS ANOTHER SET I WILL NEVER EVER FINISH

A few years ago, I grabbed a few boxes of 2012, 2013, and 2014 Golden Age and built all three sets... with some help from either fellow bloggers or Sportlots. Anyways... I have a ton of extras. If you're looking for any specific cards, email me your list and I'll try to help you out.
