Your enjoyment factor far outdistanced the few dollars.
I tell people that message me looking for cards, if I don't have them, hunting for them is a lot, of not most, of the fun.
For many years, I volunteered at the Salvation Army in Dallas. I would bring sacks of junk cards for the kids up there. They loved them and it gave them something to do.

I was at a flea market last month and a guy had several 3200 count boxes of cards priced right, and people were all over it. I succumbed to temptation and ended up picking through and grabbing a bunch of 1990s Michael Jordan cards I didn't have. A stack of career contemporary Michael Jordan cards for a few bucks? Why not?
