So this seems like as good a time as any to show off the rest of the old cigarette cards I found in a box of my grandpa& #39;s stuff from when he was a kid.
Most of the stuff in the cigar box was normal (marbles, lead soldiers, penknife), some of it was inexplicable (a Spanish war medal from 1860?) but this is what& #39;s most likely to be of interest to people. He had a full set of the Allen & Ginter& #39;s cards.
Here& #39;s Cornelius Games. I showed this one the other day, but here he is again, to start off the thread. @CHSSTFans #blaseball
Jessica Telephone. I feel like her "I have had enough of this bullshit" expression still sees as much use today as it did in 1887. @philly_pies #blaseball
Here& #39;s York Silk. Great mustache. I guess he has kind of a Benjamin Buttons thing going on? Or something? Who can say? @hifridays #blaseball
Yazmin Mason had a real rollercoaster of a career. Her story is possibly the biggest bummer in blaseball, next to Workman Gloom. RIV. @hades_tigers #blaseball
Axel Trololol, back when he played for the Firefighters. Who& #39;s gonna make a man with an arm cannon put on a shirt? Nobody. (probably a fire hazard anyway) @ChiBlaseball #blaseball
Knight Urlacher knows there& #39;s some fashions that never go out of style. (Did he spell his name differently then, or did A&G mess it up? Hell if I know, don& #39;t ask me) @LoversBlaseball #blaseball
Thomas Dracaena claims he isn& #39;t a vampire, but come on man. Obviously the illustrator was working from photo reference here. @nymillenials #blaseball
Nagomi McDaniel is just unbelievably fuckin haunted or something, I don& #39;t even know how to parse this @BlaseballCrabs #blaseball
And finally we have good ol& #39; Jaylen Hotdogfingers. You know, I asked around some old card collecting forums -- all of them are like this. Nobody has an unburnt Jaylen Hotdogfingers card anywhere. @TheSeaGarages #blaseball
Anyway, that& #39;s the set. Fun little trip down memory lane with this splort that has apparently existed for at least 133 years despite the fact that they didn& #39;t have websites then. Any chance of an explanation for that, @blaseball?
