Getting Dark

 I guess if I'm going to include 'events' as part of the 2/14 collection, sometimes, they're going to get dark.

So yes, a card (from something called the Panarizon Story of America set) featuring dead bodies counts for the collection. I mean, it is named after Valentine's Day after all. And it is classier and was less expensive than another card saluting it available at COMC. I just can't see myself adding a card with the word 'WHACKED' splashed across it.

Even I have standards, low as they are.

Here's the rather verbose back of the card.

I really don't want to add "died on that date" cards to the collection. Johnny Longden, a jockey, is the exception, since he died on his birthdate. And if someone gets a card saluting their death, that counts as well. James Cook got himself a card commemorating his Feb 14 1779 death, so that counts as well. Unless I get an upgrade, I'll leave this James Cook's content in the collection with this 1950 one.

Cards featuring James Cook of the Bills are still very welcome, though.

The back isn't much better, but you can make out the death date on it. 

But there you have it!
