The Return of the Worthless Cards

Posted by Joe Mustache, February 21, 2008

If anyone deserved a painting done to honor his status as a Diamond King it was the late, great Ivan Calderon.

In case you assumed that the burst of light behind Calderon's head was simply an result of creative license by the artist, you're mistaken. Ivan's jheri curl actually glowed like the morning sun at all times.

And that's why he's been chosen to act as our spokesperson on this very special re-introduction to the Worthless Card Collection, which is back and better than ever. When the newest version of JoeSportsFan.com went live some people were wondering where their Lenn Sakata's and Pete Ladd's had disappeared to.

Fear not. Lenn, Pete and the rest of the boys are back in force.

In addition to a handful of new cards making their debut, JSF web guru Matt Sebek has cranked the old collection up a notch and it now offers the option to search amongst over 25 categories that each of these cardboard collectors items have been carefully slotted into.

Want to see who has the best mustaches in the collection? Not a problem. Care to know how many players were wearing skin tight pants during their photo shoot? One click away.

The hope is that the new search function keeps you from having to do any real work all day long.

Go ahead and take a spin. Ivan insists.

Hey TF dick head. I hate the Skin's I am from Chicago a diehard Bears fan. I am angry from a broken childhood mixed with never knowing what it's like to have an efficient QB and knowing the fact that my baseball team will probably not win a world series for anther 100 years.

I'm a big fan of the "one batting glove" tag. It was just supposed to be on one card, but as we perused through the collection, we found like 5 more occurrences. Very strange phenomenon.

Mr. Irrelevant sure is an angry guy. Guess I would be too if Snyder was running my team.

Mr. Irrelevant, February 21, 2008 04:02 AM

It's about goddam time. Now if you would do the mediaspace and the ticker we wouldn't have to bust your ass. the best tag has to be "shit face grin"

Kevin Sampson, February 21, 2008 04:02 AM

Best tag: "smelly"

Anna Benson, February 21, 2008 03:02 AM

Mr. Sebek, I would like to inform you that Jason Pruitt should not be tagged as "never seen breasts". However, he is, in fact, worthless.

Jason, February 21, 2008 02:02 AM

Well - that's it. I'm not getting anything accomplished today.

Johnny, February 21, 2008 02:02 AM

Uh, guys, thanks for ruining my career.

The "anxiety disorder" tag is effing hilarious!When I was a kid I got the orioles 87 Topps team set of as a giveaway at old Memorial Stadium, and even then I thought Jim Traber looked like a douche.
