AGREED! I would HATE not being able to touch, play with, fold, spindle, mutilate, draw on, put in my bike spokes, etc. cards if I was just starting out! Isn't THAT what made us all collectors??? Isn't THAT what helped make this the hobby that we all LOVE???

I suspect that I would NOT be a collector now if the cards I had as a kid had to go from the pack into a plastic tomb never to be TOUCHED again...

Just my two cents!
