I love those baseball cards featuring players with their mouths open so wide it looks like you can stuff a triple cheeseburger into their maw. I have many such cards, some of which happen to be sitting on my desk right now.
These cards are extremely easy to come by. For example:
2023 Topps #9
This gives me a wonderful idea. Whenever I hit the LCS I want to find a single card of a player with his mouth agape and add it to my new Mouth Agape PC. I've set a few rules for myself to make the game a little bit more challenging:
1) It must not be a base card
2) If possible, I must find a different player every time
Granted, I don't hit up the LCS too often these days (sadly), but whenever I do I hope to grab one of these cards for the new PC. I'd like to see how long this PC will continue and how many different players I'll add to it. We'll see how this goes down, but I hope to have a good deal of fun doing it.
Also: From my Two Truths and a Lie post on Tuesday, the lie was for Adael Amador. He stole his first base off of Cardinals pitcher Andre Pallante, not Andrew Kittredge. Thanks to everybody who played the initial game of Two Truths and a Lie. That's a bit I'd hope to continue.
Thanks for checking out the blog today, have a great weekend (we're almost there!), and happy collecting!
Light-hearted mini collections like these are what make collecting fun!
ReplyDeleteThere's a YouTuber who call these types of cards... "burp" cards. It's so embedded into my head that I can hear him say that whenever I see them.
ReplyDeleteThat's a funny yet accurate name for them lol

DeleteNever thought of sports cards like this. It’s so true though. So many cards feature hyped-up players with their mouths open
