Thank you for being a card

 Picture it. New York, 2025. An intrepid young collector learns of a new card set, and after traveling by mule all the way to St. Olaf, Minnesota, he returned with a box of cards just in time to see the herring circus. 

That collector was me, and these are the cards he returned with. 


two base cards

a vintage parallel, printed on old school brown cardstock, 
an art insert 

and a Bubbly parallel which I assure you looks better in person than it does in a scan.

You didn't have to hit me over the head with a newspaper, when I learned Cardsmiths made a Golden Girls set I had to have some. It's a little pricey at $25 for ten cards but I already have cards of so many, many men I had to make space for the Golden Girls, one of only 4 TV series I've seen every episode of. I saved the other pack and don't know when I will open it. Perhaps I'll save it for when I'm all out of monkey money to buy more cards with.

    Great tv theme song. I don't think I watched the entire run of The Golden Girls, but I definitely can sing the entire theme song.

      Almost every single episode has something funny in it

    I've been to St. Olaf College in Northfield Minnesota. It's about two hours from where I live. Never watched this show but the cards are nice.

    It's interesting to see the generational viewpoint with this show. I've heard plenty of people say they watched it as kids. For me, and people my age, watching Golden Girls was depressing because we were college students and the show aired on Saturdays, it meant you had no other plans on a Saturday.

      Interesting. I saw them all on reruns in the last decade or so, so I had no idea what their time slot was.
