Whenever you book a hotel online in a strange city, you never really know if it is going to be a gem or if it is gonna be super-sketchy. You might be right by the museums, shopping, and fine restaurants -- or you might be by the all-night liquor store with a view of the sewage treatment plant and the red-light district.
It's the same with card trading. Whenever you get a trade package, it's tough to know if it is going to be a high-class trade, or a super-sketchy trade...or both.
I just made another zistle.com trade -- this time with a user named jkgrice. In exchange for a bunch of Tom Glavine cards and some miscellaneous Ginter, let's take a look at what I got.

Maybe we can find someone else to make this a little less sketchy. You there! Good sir! Ahoy! Please let us see if you are a distinguished gentleman...

Tinted Aviator sunglasses.....check.
Satin Jacket....check.
Van behind the drugstore where he offers kids free candy.....check.
I love Dennis Lamp quite a bit....but if we're looking for "classy," he ain't it.
What about this young man? Just a Rookie! Surely he is not yet jaded by the world.

Well....we're definitely getting more classy as we go along. Is there anything else we can add to spruce this place up? Add a little glitz?
Yes. ROYALTY.

Dennis Lamp gives candy to the little kids and sells meth to the big kids.
ReplyDeleteI hear he also runs a cock-fighting ring on the weekends.
