Cards {Treasure} Comparative: Journal

A Story by Abishai100

A personal baseball-cards treasure-comparison for ideas about sports-media discretion(s).

A nonfictional journal presentation of baseball-cards comparison/contouring for a social-media sharing (non-literary!) of what all of us Americans seem to 'cherish' about sports-media dollars. Thanks for reading,

I've been collecting baseball-cards all my life, and I'm comparing in this journal a special comparison between two treasures, a 1990 World-Series team-set (Upper-Deck) of the champion/resurrected/underdog Reds, and a 1990 John Olerud (Upper-Deck) Toronto rookie-card.

I like to think of myself as a lover of capitalism treasures and I love comics-doodles casting fun imagery regarding American patriotism and lifestyle-vitality artworks like Xmastime shopping avatars, all of which remind me why baseball-cards are terrific gems of capitalism's youth-face in the United States.

The 1990 World-Series Reds set is quite symbolic/nice and represents a resurgence to greatness/miracle following the Pete Rose area of 'intrigue' in sports-media, but the 1990 Olerud rookie-card is also a very unusual/symbolic treasure in sports-cards, because this once-star rookie was hailed as a future legend, with his dual gifts in both pitching/batting. It's difficult to say really which treasure is the 'real' deal.

We know how baseball's generated so much cool, fun, youthful, savvy, colorful, national, regional, social, and even artistic representations of human intelligence, and designating/comparing special sets or individual treasures in baseball-cards seems to be a 'terrific' form of modern social-media gauged society romance (IMO).

I'm a Dartmouth-grad, and I was part of the BonesGate fraternity (sub-chapter of Delta-house, inspiration for Animal House, many believe!), and I liked talking about sports with my brothers of BonesGate (BG) and am sharing this cards-treasure comparison/idea with you here in this non-fictional straight journal presentation, perhaps to cast myself as a social-media enthusiast of what comprises cool American capitalism.

What do you think of treasure-comparisons in our capitalist society/Earth? What would a Martian say about such a comparison/contour (between the references baseball-treasures)? I'm an American Catholic and Wall Street investor, and maybe a Martian might suggest to me my treasure-comparison reveals real definitions. I mean, there's nothing really 'dark' about using sports-mementos to talk about everyday 'memories' of great social deeds, right? Of course I'm right (ha).
