Introducing my Lone Ranger Trading Card Photo...

Hello all! I would like to introduce one of my favorite things [that I collect].

It's my Lone Ranger Trading Cards and I have put them together in a Photo Parade. There are only seven pictures in the parade but each picture has a lot of trading cards in it. The pictures turned out great so you can see the trading cards really well. They're wonderful so please check them out!

Here is the link to the first picture. Then you can click on NEXT to go through all seven pictures.

I love the Lone Ranger and so I collect Lone Ranger items. It's not a collection that I get to add to often because you don't see many Lone Ranger items unless you go to ebay and type in a Lone Ranger search and then who could afford the stuff? It's expensive! So, my collection is small. I bought two sets of these trading cards. One to look at and play around with and one to save for the future [not sure why!]. Each trading card has the picture on the front and then tells about the item pictured on the back of the card.

Here is the Lone Ranger trading card that shows a picture of the guy who wrote the Lone Ranger, Fran Striker.

Here is the back of the Fran Striker Lone Ranger Trading card. I found it amazing how much the man wrote about the Lone Ranger, 70,000 words PER WEEK! Wow!

Pretty darn neat! I am a bit too young to remember the Lone Ranger at all but I have seen it in reruns. I didn't realize they had cards for it! Thanks for sharing!

He's quite a charming man.. gosh 70,000 words a DAY.. man I struggled to make 50,000 words in 28 days for last year's NaNo (but to be fair I was really sleep deprived and ill when I did that)

Some are just so amazingly prolific, aren't they?

Fantastic collection. Keep them safe! You never know when they will be antiques and worth a good amount. (That's when that second set might come in handy, lol) :)

I loved watching Lone Ranger as a kid -- it was one of my favorite shows. I had the Lone Ranger dolls and their horses -- played with them constantly. Now I see them at antique malls -- which makes me feel much older then I really am for some reason :-) I didn't know there were even trading cards out there though -- thanks for sharing!

I didn't know that you could earn points for commenting on other peoples articles that is totally fascinating! I don't really have that much time since I write a heck of allot these days but I really should take some time out of my schedule and set it aside for commenting on others articles. I usually pick a group per day and comment on the articles up on the page. I also comment on peoples articles that comment on mine, and I also on recomended articles that are mailed to me. thanks for the tip.

Oh and cool old school ove article, always good to rock the classics.
