We're not going to take it anymore!

This is Ethan Orlinsky.



Ethan is the nitwit whom the Beckett Blog quoted as saying, "The real winners today are the millions of fans who collect baseball cards. They will be able to clearly identify official Major League Baseball trading cards without any confusion."

As a collector, how did that make you feel when you first read that?

Angry?

Disappointed?

Frustrated?

All I know is that...

First you've got to get mad!

You've got to say, 'I'm a CARD COLLECTOR, Goddammit! My life has VALUE!'



So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. Get away from your laptops. I want you to get up right now, gather your excess 2010 Upper Deck commons, and go to the post office and

BIP THE SHIT OUT OF MLB!

Step One: Gather any surplus 2010 Upper Deck Baseball cards.

Step Two: Print out this image Thorzul created, and sign your name to the bottom.



Step Three: Place excess Upper Deck cards and above image in a box and mail to the following address:

Major League Baseball Properties
Attn: Ethan Orlinsky
245 Park Ave
New York, NY 10167-3000

Please do this as soon as possible. And if you have a blog, please spread the word.

SEND MLB PROPERTIES A MESSAGE. WE'RE MAD AS HELL, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Looks Like "Baghdad Bob" was able to Land on His Feet.

"The real winners today are the millions of fans who collect baseball cards. They will be able to clearly identify official Major League Baseball trading cards without any confusion.”

Because, God forbid, collectors can't tell the difference between this...



and this...

Just Look at the Picture and Read the Comments.

That is all.

I will not shed a tear over Upper Deck.

From last July...

On-Location Pack Break: 2010 Upper Deck Retail Looseys

My Faith in Humanity (and the Cardblogosphere) has been Shattered.

Of all people. Et tu, Junkie?

Free Topps Codes from Dr. Wax Battle

So I'm home, and I'm bored, and make the pilgrimage to Toms River to see Dr. Wax Battle.

He shows me a box he got from Topps, digs into it, and hands me 19 of the Million Card Giveaway code cards.

Yeah, you read right. He just gave them to me. No questions asked.

Want to know what I got?

Topps: If you make this card, this year, I will forgive you for all your past sins (i.e. Poley Walnuts, Kazuo Uzuki, 2008 Stadium Club, et al) and absolve you, in advance, of any future indisgressions.
