Dopamine Hit

Oooh, I like the term dopamine hit to describe the unexplainable rush when looking at favorite vintage cards. I know that volumes have been written about this phenomena — on this forum and elsewhere. And, of course, the reaction is different and personal for each collector.
Fortunately, I have all the cards from my childhood collection (early 1960s — when Mays and Aaron were in their prime). Whenever I go through my cards, sweet memories of the lazy, carefree summer days of my childhood come flooding back. After a while, I realize my face kinda hurts from all the smiling. Oh to have access to a time machine — and the discretionary income that I now have.
