What Would 8 Year Old You Think About Your Collection Today?

My 8 year old self would have no idea the players that I was collecting now. He would think they were really cool though because the age of them. Of course in the late 80s I thought that my 1969 Topps Tony Conigliaro was the coolest card ever because it was super old for an 8 year old. Lol.

My 8 year old self would probably be in awe at the collection I've been able to build, and probably wonder how I got so rich (I definitely don't feel rich).

My 8 year old self would also most likely be more excited that I own pinball and arcade machines than he is about the card/memorabilia collection.
Even at 8 years old I was a video game junkie and have loved anything coin-op ever since.

It would depend on if I was just shown the cards, or if someone like old me explained them.

When I was 8, I had only bought 2 packs of cards total, two years apart.

I was into coins and stamps, Insulators and old bottles, rocks and shells and more into adventuring outdoors than sports which I was universally bad at.
Oh, and architecture and planes.

If they just showed up in a box, (Or small truck...) I probably wouldn't be all that interested.
With a guide, I probably would have been interested. And impressed by how much there was.
