Yes, sorry. Unusually lengthy for me, and contains a lot of "thinking out loud", but part of that was on purpose so that it can be unpacked.

I'm much like you. I ate those cards up as a kid, but after I moved on to real vintage - rarely looked back. It just struck me as funny because I know for some collectors (a minority maybe, but still I've met them) those cards are even more special because it's a more direct memory to their childhood and that means more to them. Wondering if I'm missing out on something perhaps by being stuck so rigidly in my current paradigm.
