I still love my cards... but this sounds like a nice, affordable tangent to explore
Thanks all (and if you're selling some cool items, PM me!) I love great cover illustrations

I think collecting score cards and the like is very personal to the collector. If you're not that familiar with them, my recommendation is that you think about what theme of collecting would appeal to you (team, era, player, event (WS, AS game, etc.)) and jump in. And you don't even need a theme other than what "sparks joy" for you. Also, keep in mind that prices for many of them on eBay can be all over the place for essentially the same item (unless they're WS or AS game programs).
