2024 Card-vent Calendar: December 1

December 1, 2024:
1986 Fleer Baseball's Best #40 John Tudor
Well, what do you know, its Card-vent starting on time this year.  A nice, properly late Thanksgiving works wonders for the soul.  Plop it down on November 23rd and you've got a super long nightmare corridor until Christmas.  When it's on the 28th, there's three full weeks left at any reasonable school and then it's "see you next year."

John Tudor here has the look of a man spooked.  He's seen some shit.  Whether it's something from 1985, or he's had a premonition of 2025, I'll let you be the judge of that.  One thing is certain, and its name is dread.  Breathe it in deep, folks.  That hitch you feel?  That sensation of just being a skosh away from a full, satisfying intake?  That's the dread.  Embrace it, and get used to it.

  2. Tudor was a good pitcher.
    I predict this won't be the best or the worst card in the group.

  3. Tudor looks like how I feel... knowing that I have to get up early tomorrow after sleeping in the past 9 days.
