after many weeks of wondering if anybody out there reads this thing, i finally got a comment yesterday on my star wars card giveaway. congratulations to xyloteka for bringing the love. and as promised a handful of vintage 1977 mixed batch star wars trading cards are on their way slowboat to you my friend! apparently there's at least one true believer out there.
the slowboat has arrived. found the package waiting for me as i was leaving the house for a hike up krizova hora (cross hill). reaching the top, i brushed the snow off a bench which stands beside a 17th century church and looks down upon the ancient town. i sat down, opened the envelope, and beheld an artifact which transported me to the other side of the world and over 30 years into the past. a pack of star wars cards in the original wrapper! hermetically sealed with some cement-like substance, it took some time to open but once the wrapper was removed i thumbed through the hefty stack of cards one by one, moving through that magical spectrum: blue, red, yellow, green, orange. many fond childhood memories flooded back to me gazing at those bubble-gum-scent-infused cards. thanks for the time / space journey my friend. happy new year to you and your tribe.
