Card-Shark(s): Dartmouth "Chess"

A sports-media imagination 'sparks' this 'inventive doodle' about cards, calls, color, and cinema.

A sports-media 'diagonal' inspired by Mr. Destiny (Michael Caine). Enjoy (and Happy Christmas-in-July!),

Amlan Satan is an avid sports-fan and chess-master and decided to challenge a media-baron to a game if he'd accept a special trade involving two iconic/valued Athletics baseball cards for his Facebook-blog about capitalism-value(s).

A graduate of Dartmouth, Satan learned much about capitalism psycho-sociology and the diadems of civilization consciousness reflecting consumerism rhetoric, and the two Athletics-cards he's leveraging for this 'game' with a media-baron at a Western/American airport are truly great. One is a Rollie Fingers card (pitcher).

MEDIA-BARON: I'm too 'busy' working on my toy-jet development(s) in New York to bother with this nut's card(s)-game.

The 2nd-card is a Canseco-Topps card in protective-case (good condition!) and wants the media-baron to accept the Fingers-card in exchange for some gems in his pocket for a joint-trade for some famous gems the baron always carries with him.

BARON: Why the hell should I accept a Fingers-card in preference over that Canseco-card, man?
SATAN: Well, good sir of Hollywood, I argue that this 'exchange' game we're playing reflects diamonds-value(s).
BARON: Oh, so I can tell the press, "A stranger made this card-swap game at an airport with me for sports-money!"
SATAN: That's right, Mr. Hollywood --- sports-cards remind people of civilization 'chess-play' involving consumerism activity!
BARON: Well, I dunno...I think I prefer that Canseco card, man.
SATAN: Well, you see we're trading diamonds too at this New York airport alongside this card-exchange game.
BARON: You're tellin' me this Fingers-card in preference for the Canseco 'spices' our other trade (diamonds)?
SATAN: That's right, Mr. Hollywood --- you can tell your press-pals that airport-merchant gave you a 'sports' memory.
BARON: I could use the positive media, I guess...alright.
SATAN: Good; we'll call this private-game the 'Destiny-Chess' maneuver.
BARON: I'm sure you'll make some 'diary' Facebook-blog for airport-movie disturbance(s).
SATAN: Thanks!

GIRLFRIEND: You swapped these 'trophies' with a media-baron for a Facebook-IQ blood about media-spirits for sports-chat(s)?

AMLAN SATAN: Well, darling...I did it for our wedding-photo.

GIRLFRIEND: Oh.

Years later, Satan's enjoying this awesome Netflix download of a horror-fantasy film with his girlfriend-now-wife when he got a call from Mr. Hollywood himself.

BARON: Enjoying The Strangers, airport-bud?
SATAN: I can't believe this exchange has now led to this home-call diary, baron.

BARON: Just call me...the Benefactor.

MR. HOLLYWOOD: The exchange(s) between consumers/pedestrians and media-folk can illuminate real distances.
