Nice card!

I haven't got any powerful thoughts in collecting but it's been a lot of fun over the years. Running the forum for 20+ yrs has definitely been enlightening and fun (most times).

I still have a small group from that basket that are in god awful condition. For some odd reason the one card that made me jump headfirst into what is now a 46 year obsession was the 1982 Vida Blue in action card. For some reason that card became one I would carry to school and pretty much treat like a security blanket.

I still have it to this day and it’s going nowhere.
