Signature/Blank: Card Thesaurus +

A Story by Abishai100

Fan/collector re-presents his dashing album for sports/language, with a precocious distinction that none of his cards boasts athlete-autograph (for American fiction).

Mr. Amlan Satan had been become an avid sports cards collector, relishing in his album/showcase of American culture/sports cards of great athletes and teams for varied sports (football, baseball, ice-hockey) and realized not one darn card boasted an athlete/celebrity signature. You see, sports trading cards, great cardboard paper-culture print items featuring a sport-athlete's photo and performance-stats marketed by numerous companies (e.g., Topps, Score), was sold as either signed or blank (or unsigned). Amlan Satan, a Slovak-Algerian Bostonian-Catholic of the American Homeland, boasted more than 1K cards, but not one darn card was signed (damn). He wondered about his Selfie age of incomplete-distances readings of the bureaucracy-arts of manmade share jardinieres (for the Ego!).



Amlan liked blogging about his collection and sharing ideas with other fans/collectors/writers about the 'ghost-magic' or beauty-magic of classic/modern sports cards, of athletes of football and baseball and hockey in the States, and thinking of how sports and lifestyle were now imprinted onto Earth commerce/hospitality storyboards and chat(s) concerning those incomplete-arts of social activity 'access' jars (for leviathan/uncertainty). His readers realized he was a man of fan jingles who didn't possess a single darn card that was signed by an athlete/celebrity (wow).



Americans had become proficient in the social/media 'respiration' of sports/athletics/fitness dialogue for TV-culture activity imprinted onto capitalism's 'matrix' (e.g., Super Bowl TV-ad culture/revenue); and Mr. Satan's re-presentation of the idea that possession of these wonders-rich cardboard competition 'trophies' for fan/TV 'consciousness' with the 'void' that none of his cards featured athlete/celebrity signatures (or 'autographs') had become a mod-Earth world social/media 'image' of the division-bell(s) of fortune...and networking (hmmm).



AMLAN: I just got a great 'classic' mod white auto for X-C drive (baseball).
READER: So, you trek around stadiums this Spring for teams/towns tales?
AMLAN: I carry with me my briefcase of trading-cards for exchange/work!
READER: None of your cards signed?
AMLAN: I've no doubt (whatsoever) some stadium fan(s) can see the movie.
READER: Good life for your 'classic' auto/focus...for election (Selfie-like).
AMLAN: Wish me luck!
