I've mentioned this before, but growing up in Western Washington all we had were the mini's...so much so that when I was in my late teens, in the late 80's, I saw my first regular sized 75 at a show and I didn't even know they made them that size! Fast forward to now and I prefer the regular size as they seem like the novelty to me. My set is regular, and I have a few mini's along side them, but have no desire to compete that set. As a kid we hated the 75s, they just didn't conform to our other cards.
Being in the north of WA, near Canada, we also had OpeeChee cards mixed into our youth collections. We all HATED Opeechee and the mini's when it came time to trade...I even threw any OP's in the garbage...lol. Still not a fan...
After all that, no idea why the mini's are now cheaper other than someone who grew up with them would rather have the regulars...
