Thank you for that story. Like you said, behind every piece of cardboard there is a story - either the person on the front, the instant of time that the photo captured, the original owner of the card or someone down the line who took it in for a while and then decided to part ways with it later on. Some of those stories are reflected in the fuzzy corners, wrinkles, or worn surface of the card - the DNA that makes that piece of cardboard different from all others.

Most of those stories are lost to time, but every so often, we can uncover a part of the story, piece it together and get a greater appreciation for a piece of cardboard.

I agree, thank you for the story.
A tough reminder that this stuff is just stuff; but the stories behind them have the real value.
