(Fear not, I cleared this with Leon.)
So many of us old school baseball card collectors share the same traumatic, life-altering memory from childhood. And that, of course, was the day mom shamelessly threw out our baseball cards!!
Well, it is finally time to start laughing about it, as this shirt sheepishly pokes fun at that unfortunate event from so long ago!!!

• The
FRONT says,
“Sure, I LOVE my dear, sweet mother..."
• And the
BACK says,
"...But that B*TCH threw out my baseball cards!!”
Notes: There are four different BACK options, where you can choose your favorite vintage, time-honored mom put-down,
"TRAMP," "FLOOZY," "HUSSY" or
"B*TCH."
And 'mom' is found in two versions -
(same exact illustration, but) a pale white lady with orange hair or a darker complexioned woman with dark hair. If you have a color in mind to make it look more in line with your own 'mom,' send me a specific CMYK color mix and I'll see what I can do.
The garbage can graphic includes a high-res collection of all sorts of great baseball cards from the 1950s through the '70s. It looks fantastic!!
***VERY, VERY IMPORTANT***
Zazzle has an overly strict 'content code,' and they don't like the words I'm calling 'mom,' so when you click on a link, you will see
(in blue) "change your content filter." Click on that and drag the arrow to the far right to the word
"OFF." This will allow you to see the shirts.

Not gonna lie, these guys are a bit expensive, as they're priced just under $27, but I have little to do with that, as
Zazzle has a base price for a full-color, two-sided shirt before I'm able to add my paltry $2-$3 profit. But
Zazzle coupon codes can be found everywhere. All week, they had various coupon codes for 15%-25% off, so just do a search and you should find a decent discount.
To paraphrase Henry Ford, right now you can have any color shirt you like...as long as it's white.
These graphics are not to scale, as I quickly put them together, but here's what the shirt looks like. Again, there are two 'different' moms, each can be found with the four different backs...
