Great pickups so far!
My favorite 'card journey' story was the one Jay B told us about the T205's that travelled all the way from the cigarette packs directly into his hands.

But it would be neat if each card came with a mini-film of its journey, perhaps skipping only the late '70s, just due to the background music.
