Well it's Thursday which means that Shark Week is getting closer to FINishing up. Oh wow is that punny?!!!!
Even if you don't watch Shark Week and get excited for a week of documentaries like I do, I am sure that you have seen the image below.
Filmed in 2012 and featuring an iconic image for the Air Jaws documentary franchise, the image sees a 16 foot, 3000 pound great white shark breaching the water only 10 feet away from the Seal Sled filming. The shark was named Colossus, an appropriate name for a fish that is the size of a Subaru Impreza. I don't know about you but if I am in the open ocean and something that big comes out from under the sea with intents of killing a seal, I would probably have a heart attack from fear.
I like looking at the image of the great white shark named Colossus from afar.
Consequently, I like looking at my 2020 National Treasures Colossal card from up close
What a MASSIVE laundry tag patch embedded in this card. The autograph only makes it more sweet. Limited to only 3 copies, this is one of my latest cards I "discovered" while going through some moving boxes.
Have you seen Air Jaws (or any of it's sequels)?
What are some other items you can think of that are 14-16ft long to put into perspective how big the shark Colossus is?
Crocks are some big reptiles.

That is in awesome laundry tag!
ReplyDeleteYou're also setting up someone to make a dirty joke...but it's not going to be me!
Never seen that photo before, but I'd definitely have a heart attack if I saw a shark do that in front of me out in the open water. As for Air Shark... had no idea that was even a thing.
ReplyDeleteFinding cards like this... definitely makes rummaging through moving boxes 10x more fun.
