The Joy of a (Colorful) Completed Page

I am off to the rink to MC tonight's bout and watch the Bradentucky Bombers’ Nuclear Bombshells destroy the Sarasota Roller Girls. I wanted to post something, so here is my most vibrantly colorful completed page ever. All of these are SlangKo Sportscards and I love ‘em all and want more! Thanks so much Sean! I want to get this signed, but I am scared to send them away cuz they are SO cool. Go Rays! Go Bombshells! Troll out.

One Step Closer...

It has been a want-listy kind of weekend for me so far. My wife had a 40-page thesis that was due at 8:00AM today. She had to be to work at 7:30 and pulled an all-nighter. She did finish her paper and it was brilliant. At least it seemed brilliant because when it was done and she went to work I got to sneak a nap... Anyway, while she was writing I spent my time staying out of her way and sorting cards in the guest bed room. We are screwed if we have a guest, but I did get some stuff organized, got more cards into binders and also got together 5 blogger-kindness packages that will ship on Monday...I also opened some mail that was piling up. I recieved an envelope from custom card manufacturer and super blogger Sean from Condition Poor. A one card deal. It was one card that I really needed, so I was psyched. The card was #LL-18 from the Legendary Lineage insert set of 2010 Topps. It is of Gary Carter and David Wright, both shown as New York Mets. I watched a TON of Mets games on WWOR as a kid with my Mom and Gary Carter was her favorite player. She LOVED Gary Carter. Therefore this card is pretty cool by me. This card brings me one away from finishing this set. If ya have LL-17, get in touch! I have dupes of LL #s 21,23,27,29 and 30. Thanks so much for this card Sean! I read that you are on vacation in my neck of the woods. Give a brother a call! Thanks again to Condition Poor. My 2010 Topps want list is here if you are so inclined. Go Rays! Troll out.

The REAL Collective Troll Card of the Day

Today started off with an Orioles card as the Card of the Day. I really like that card, but I don’t feel right about a current card of a team other than the Rays being the card of the day, so here is the new Card of the Day for February 15th. This is a SlangKo Original and it is AWESOME! I use that adjective a lot, but here it is very appropriate. I love his vintage cards, but this full color, glossy 2010 model is just as bad-ass. The card is titled 2010 Ray Guns and features 4 of the Rays young guns who will be fighting for a spot in the rotation. I was a little bit surprised that he picked Andy Sonnanstine over Jeff Niemann and Wade Davis, but I am a Sonny fan, so I have no complaints. The Rays have given away two All Star starters within a year’s time and STILL have an amazing core of young starting pitchers, these 4 included. I love it! I can’t WAIT for spring training to commence! You can look forward to more SlangKo Originals to be featured as Card of the Day in the months ahead-ideally they will be autographed. Go Rays! Troll out.
