Rescued from THE BOX - Ep. 1

     THE BOX may sound intimidating - and if you're a little baseball card in this big world, it certainly is. You can get lost in a prison of cardboard, surrounded on all sides by fellow cards similar to yourself, doomed to an existence of lying sideways and never being appreciated.

    I've started to sympathize with my little cardboard buddies. Too long have I left them forlorn in the wasteland of a box, burdened with the fate of being ignored for years to come and eventually given to future generations, who will probably place them in the spokes of their hoverboards or whatever they'll be riding then.

    

    Okay, okay hold up. Perhaps that's slightly dramatic. Nevertheless, I thought it would be a fun undertaking if the cards residing in one of my boxes that usually doesn't see much light could be 'rescued' and then featured on a post dedicated to that specific card and the player depicted on it.

    I've found some pretty cool cards while sifting through these boxes, and while many of the cards being rescued likely won't be too special, at least I'll remember that I own them.

    Every other week (or whenever I feel like it lol) one lucky card will be saved from THE BOX and featured on Don Cardwell. This is the chance of a lifetime if you're a Topps card from the 1980s or a '90s Upper Deck or Fleer card.

    Now let us behold the torturous prison our little heroes have been trapped in as they await their salvation. It has many names: The Void, The Depository of Dejection, The Black Hole - but I have twice already called it by its name most relatable to card collectors: THE BOX

    As you can see, Dean Palmer is a victim of the perilous Packaging Tape of Terrors Untold. Don't worry Dean, we shall free you soon!

    Clearly I have a lot of work to do in order to save all these cards from a life of mediocrity and insignificance. 

    I can tell I'm going to have a lot of fun writing this series on the blog. And I hope y'all have fun reading it. Tune in soon for the freeing of the first card. Until then, have a great week, stay safe out in the crazy weather, and happy collecting!
