Baseball cards aren't spooky, particularly now that Colby Rasmus isn't in the league.
But I am the night owl and I feel an obligation on this holiday. To find something with a Halloween theme in my collection, I went straight to Allen and Ginter to see if I could unearth something scary.
Boo:
Skulls!
Bony hands! (This is a jewel of my frankenset mini binder).
Edgar Allan Poe! And The Poe Toaster!
Spooky!
Wooooooo! Haunted graveyards!
Mummies!
Nine-headed serpents that can kill you with their bad breath!
What's a 16-year-old cheerleader doing here? When the 2012 Allen and Ginter code was cracked, she was revealed to be the killer!
However, on this day, for this particular fan, there is no card item that is more spooky, more dastardly, more haunting than a card like this:
Just remember, if you root for the Astros tonight, you are rooting for the end of baseball for a long, long, long time.
And that really is spooky.

Sadly, due to reckless teens and lack of care, the burial ground has been nearly trashed to the point of no return. Still, I'm super enthused to see my hometowns only claim to fame in an A&G set! Thank you for sharing.
