We don't need no stinkin' slabs!!!

That makes sense, lots of nostalgia in that for sure.

That's probably why I kept the binder and pages I got in 74. Awful stuff, and I don't use it anymore, but the memories of opening packs and deciding which cards if any were in and which ones were out are fun. I only had so many pages, so the exact cards being protected varied.

Probably also the reason the 74 set is still in pages in a generic old view binder, with an old cash register tape and a boog Powell to label the set, and the Sports Illustrated from Aarons 715th in the front cover pocket.

It's all about that beautiful smell released from the binder!!!!! Cardboard in all its glory.

Am I the only one who has yielded to the temptation and taken a bite of a stick of seriously old bubble gum...and be relieved that it did not kill me?
