Proper MLA Citation for Baseball Cards

Throughout my iluustrious academic career, I was told time and again by professors that Wikipedia is not an academic resource. That's bullshit, they just want us to work hard like they did, scanning card catalogs and microfiche for hours on end. Fuck that. They don't like that Wikipedia is an economy of effort and information. It's hassle and anxiety reduced to pill form. Wikipedia is a wonderful source of knowledge and fact, compiled from academic resources and legitimate websites. As we all know, part of creating something is properly citing your sources. The MLA website features citation formats for books of one or multiple authors, journals, broadcast interviews, and websites. However, academia in all it's glory has neglected to include the proper citation format for baseball cards. Is there a more academic resource than baseball cards? The information they provide is for the most part statistical, along wth tidbits of the players personal life, birthday and birthplace, and some trivia perhaps. Although, at times baseball cards do come with opinionated claims like "future star", "all-time great", and "the future is now". Anyway, the proper MLA citation for a baseball card:

There is no underline feature on this blog thing, but the brand and year should be underlined.

Player last name, first name. Brand, year. Sport. Set (common, insert, etc.), card number.

example:

Lind, Jose. Donruss, 1989. Baseball. Common, 290.

In-text paranthetical citation:

(Sport year brand #)

Abbreviations are to be used to keep the citation size down. No cheating and spelling out every little word so you can expand your shoddy writing. This citation method is an academic tool.
Sport Abbreviations:

Baseball = BB
Football = FB
Basketball = BK
Hockey = HK

example of in text citation:
In 1988, Jose Lind had 611 at-bats for the Pittsburgh Pirates, hitting for a .262 average (BB '89 Donruss 290).

Another thing, baseball cards encompasses all sports cards. There are no such things as basketball cards or hockey cards. They are simply baseball cards featuring another sport. All sports cards are baseball cards.

example of an INCORRECT statement:

Dude, what is my Wayne Gretzky hockey card worth?

example of correct statement:

Dude, check out my Rod Brind'Amour baseball cards.

Baseball cards are now an academic resource, as is wikipedia. Thanks.
