As a result, I'm much more inclined to go after the Checklists than any individual player.
Unlike the way I collected as a kid though, I enthusiastically go after the wrappers and special insert cards, e.g. "Lucky Penny" and contest cards, these days. The memories are there in the wrappers for me as well. After all, I bought and handled hundreds of those as a kid.
