Say you collect baseball cards.And lets say -- hypothetically -- that one of the players in your collection has been traded to another team. If you're planning on using that player in your card-based baseball game, you have a few options:
- You put him with his new team even though the card shows the old one.
- You keep him on with his old team, even though you know he's no longer there.
- You wait until next year when Topps will put out a new card of the player.
Thanks to something called good ol' American ingenuity, there's another option available. How does an 11 year-old make his own card showing a traded player with his new team?
It's no problem at all if you have a magic marker handy.
I love cards like this! It reminds me of how much fun we had with them. I wonder: is it just as fun now? I guess, but back then there weren't all the worries--overgrading, high prices, alterations, damage in shipping, scamming sellers, etc. The only worry was scrounging up more dimes.
