Collection Prize: Satan-of-Echelon {Jersey}

A Story by Abishai100
"

Can a sports-card (Chicago) create a suburbia-superstition 'magic' for a family and a 'reflection' for living home work?

"
A sports-collectors vignette inspired (loosely) by Mr. Destiny (Michael Caine).

Now, Amlan Satan was quite happy living off his princely-inherited fortune and Wall Street earnings in the small suburban town of Voorhees (Jersey) in the American Homeland and sharing his card-collection (baseball/football) with his pals/peers on social-media who shared his interest/investments in sportsmanship-storyboards.



He lived in a condo-area of an area of Voorhees (Jersey) called Echelon with his small family and mother and visited his sister and her daughters in a nearby community called Sturbridge and considered his newly-purchased condo a perfect Homeland abode for making capitalism-race magic-tales of special card-collections that reflected a sports-fan's love of residence-based local athletics lore/superstitions; this had become the American landscape (of photogenic living!).



Amlan Satan, prince of Earth/Echelon, now anticipated the delivery of a very very special baseball-card treasure, not necessarily one of incredible market-inflated value but one of great collector's chest symbolic value/luster. This card, a 'fantastic' smoky Ryne Sandberg Cubs-card, would be the ideal 'diamond' for his new superstition-story about a team of Voorhees (Jersey) youngsters creating a backyard 'war-game' to see who'd 'earn' the right to claim the magical card delivered to their neighborhood by a sports-writer from U-Chicago.



AMLAN SATAN: 'Wow...what a card...what a treat...this is the 'diadem' of all that's simply 'marvelous' about sports collections fantasy, an artistic rendering of a legend, a Cubs-star (Sandberg) who 'shined' in his generation and reminds us collectors/fans of the 21st-Century why post-classic era baseball-card treasures simply create an 'aura' of envy (or pride)."



Satan's child (son) Damian decided to make a special kids-doodle of the fantastic DC-superheroine Wonder Woman to complement his father's cyber-superstition children's war-games backyard tale about the 'contest' for the Sandberg (Cubs) diamond and was considered by Amlan, the Earth-prince, to be the ideal 'feather' addition to this fan/collector tale of the composition of treasure-iconography.



AMLAN: For your awesome Wonder-Woman drawing, I got you a gift.
DAMIAN: Wow, a Richie-Rich 'classic' comic, dad.
AMLAN: I thought it'd make you think more about fortune/treasures!
DAMIAN: Yeah, it's great, dad; I'll make a coloring-book from it.
AMLAN: Cool; learning to use your computer now, eh, Damian?
DAMIAN: We're working together, ain't we?



JOURNAL (Jersey): "That's what commerce-life is really about in the Homeland (now); it's about the casing of treasures and images of fortune as worthy of living applications and considerations of the 'intelligence' of this great capitalism-race; as long as this frame maintains, we avoid the 'malnutrition' of human evils."
