I'd go back to late 1980 and early 1981 when I was 9 and not tear apart all the Magic/Bird rookie cards. My 8 year old self kept wanting to put all the players together with the rest of their team and they therefore had to be ripped apart. I ripped apart 5 or 6 of them. Ugh.
And then in 1986 I'd tell the grocery store manager across the street to carry the '86/87 Fleer basketball cards. They never had them. They did have the '87/88 cards the next year. I never knew about the '86/87 set until I met some kids that lived on the other side of town.
