Fanatics, what the hell's wrong with you

2022 Stadium Club Chrome Dale Murphy

i don't believe there is any reason for Stadium Club Chrome to exist but that doesn't mean i'm passing up on a card of Murph

Ah, Halloween. A black cat with white nose, chest and paw looks to its left, facing us with its right paw seemingly pointing forward. He is standing in a green field with a couple of flowers growing. He says, “Don’t listen to those dopes! Herbie, you can trust me– – it was FRANKENSTEIN!“

2020-21 Mosaic Spud Webb Jam Masters insert

these big head Jam Masters cards are hilarious and the big head look works a little too well on Spud

Hawks up by 21 after 3 quarters
time for them to squander a huge lead and fuck up their cup point differential

Big Dumper rookie

2021-22 Optic Jalen Johnson Rated Rookie

Halloween themed DC Comics house ad featuring various horror comics and the Super Friends

Been sick as a dog the past couple days and now I can't tell if I've turned a corner or if I'm just wired after sleeping all day

the cover to Stanley and his Monster #3 The cover illustration shows Stanley's mom bringing him milk and cookies Stanley says "Noise--? We're just exorcising!" his mother replies "You mean exERcising, dear?" "Whatever..." behind the door a mad scientist throws up the horns and a monster plays maracas as they dance around a pentagram with a mystical pyramid floating above it

Stanley and his Monster #3
Phil Foglio comics are an instabuy
does what it says on the tin
Stanley has a monster and a hot mom and a weird mad science/magician guy causing problems and getting everyone into mischief
very silly and funny with great art, Phil don't miss

I love the Horror World keshi series. I wonder if they actually had the rights to Alfred Hitchcock's likeness or if they had to dance around it by calling him "Oji-san".

October 30, 1982: During his second career NBA game, Atlanta rookie Dominique Wilkins dunks on Larry Bird of the Celtics.

2020 Rittenhouse Star Trek: The Original Series Archives and Inscriptions - [Base] #29.9 - Samuel T. Cogley ("Computers don't lie.")

the hell they don't Sam

Bossanova's cool
Easy listening Pixies

Why don't they just bring back GUNSMITH CATS? I don't get it. There's dozens of manga chapters to adapt, every character oozes style, I can't go a week without someone bringing it up. What is the freaking holdup?

I love Shohei, he’s certainly the most complete baseball player of all time, but before we summarily anoint him the GOAT, I’d like you to consider the following statline:

In the 2004 season, Barry Bonds had:
• At Bats (AB): 373
• Times Reached Base: 376

That is not a typo.

wtf, they weren't on top 40 radio but even my clueless high school ass knew about them from reading random music magazines
i saw the review for Bossanova and wanted to listen to it but had no idea how because i hadn't discovered the left side of the dial yet

cover to The Skin You're In by Ashley Robin Franklin the cover is black cloth with red metallic ink showing the title and assorted body parts, bones, bugs and plants arranged in a pleasing manner

The Skin You're In by Ashley Robin Franklin
creepy horror anthology with a focus on body horror and threats from nature
this is really, really damn good stuff
i highly recommend checking it out www.arfranklinstein.com/readcomics

the front cover to Danger Girl Special the cover illustration is 60's inspired cheesecake of three girls in a cowboy outfit, jeans and a bikini holding various weapons entitled Mod Bods

the back cover to Danger Girl Special the cover illustration shows the Danger Girl's intern swinging on a vine in a Tarzan outfit with scenes in the background from her daydream fantasies: as a giant 50 foot woman holding a man in her hand, fighting a monster underwater, standing on the bridge of a star ship, being leered at my an elf as she sleeps, and an evil gremlin thing which is uncomfortably close to being a racial stereotype

Danger Girl Special
the only non-DC/Marvel comic at the stall where i got that Thor comic
side 1 is a 60's batman parody complete with laugh track and tons of references
side 2 has a Danger Girl in training daydream some Walter Mitty adventures
there's also pinups in the middle
wholesome sleazy fun

Diving in on Trey Yesavage today, and I just had to remember what Ian Anderson did in back to back postseasons very recently and how nothing is ever guaranteed and we're all just dust in the wind
