Baseball Card Vandals: Over 200 Decent Jokes on Worthless Cards
As I was looking through various sites in an attempt to buy the latest set of Topps, I came across an old friend, Baseball Card Vandals, the brain child of brothers Beau and Bryan Abbott.
I discovered these guys, with their irreverent take on a beloved piece of American culture, several years ago. Like a lot of things, especially on the internet, it was hot and heavy for a while until the next one came along.
How nice, then, to be reminded of the fun of BCV thanks to their collection, published by Chronicle.
It seems like such a simple concept, doesn’t it? Just find a fun, weird, or lively card (the authors keep the valuable ones and kibbitz with the commons), play on the athlete’s name or theme and, well, vandalize it. But the artists obviously put a good deal of thought into these things. The examples below are from their web site, not the book, but serve as good representations.
