Cardboard Gods by Josh Wilker

3.0

Equal parts "That 70's Show" and "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy," author Josh Wilker tells the story of his childhood using his baseball card collection from the 1970s. I loved the concept. And anyone who has ever collected baseball cards would likely buy this one after thumbing through the pages, because there in all their psychedelic, full-color glory, he writes about Reggie Jackson, Carl Yastrzemski, Carmen Fanzone, Bake McBride, and just about anyone else in between. The cards he writes about from his collection span his formative years of 1975-1981.

Some of the stories are funny and others are sad. Some of the stories are endearing and others are quite crude. A very honest look at life as an adolescent growing up in 1970s USA.
