That blew my mind, throwing away all those cards, but they were smart, entrepreneurial kids cashing in on a craze, and it looks to me like much the same going on today. That was almost 30 years ago, I wonder how many of those "kids" have any involvement in the hobby and what has happened to their generation of cards?

To each their own, but I can't say it seems that those kids with the slabbed cards lunchbox and I even are participating in the same hobby :-)
