Retsy Series 1 · Card 0186 · 80-MEM
No hands. Seriously, never use your hands.
Loose circles of teens kicking a little knitted footbag around the parking lot, trying never to let it drop.
The story · 1989
Anyone could join, which was the whole point. You stood in the circle, waited your turn and tried a fancy kick that usually sent the bag into a hedge. Counting out loud was mandatory. When the circle hit fifty kicks without a drop, kids walking by stopped and actually clapped.
Unwritten rule: whoever kicked the footbag onto the roof had to buy the next one, no matter whose it was.
Six finishes
The Footbag Fifty comes in six finishes: 100 Base, 50 Holo, 25 Laser and 10 Gold copies, plus one Super Laser and one Misprint that exist exactly once. Every copy is minted to the wallet that rips it, with its own serial number.
