Rejected Hockey Card: Jaromir Jagr
I recently got an email from a friend I have inside one of the major trading card manufacturers and he was telling me about a certain oft-traveled head coach in the NHL who has been hired to give more of an "expert" feel to upcoming cards, with... uh, mixed results. Below is a proof sheet he sent me of the Jaromir Jagr card.
I don't think it was approved.
Dammit, now I'm going to have to change my screenname to "Jaromir meet Alex". Every 4 years AO annihilates one of the guys I love to hate.

Yeah, I kinda figure most people didn’t realize that’s where that came from (especially since the best image I found wasn’t all that clear and you can’t tell it’s Chelios)

Hey, I just noticed that SBN finally got the custom tag system working. Now all your hockey cards are easier to find. This is good to know.

So you’re saying I can stop putting the links to the other cards at the bottom now… Roger.

Well there’s no harm in also having the links. I just remember you lamenting about it not working in the past. I’ve ran into the same problem when I wanted to custom tag one of my FanPosts. Then when I looked at this post, I noticed the “Related FanPosts” section to the right had all your other rejected hockey cards in it, so that’s what brought it to my attention. I’m glad they finally got around to fixing it.

no worries. i just figured no one caught the reference, and i didn’t want to feel like a crazy person anymore so i had to post the story.

Strangely enough, prior to reading your Glossary, I had no idea what this obvious joke was referring to, then when I was reading it I had one of those… “OOOHHHH NOW I GET IT!” moments. You bookended that joke quite nicely.
Great. Now I have to change my name to "Jaromir meet Alex".
