Patiently waiting for the new baseball or football release so I could collect players from my favorite teams, and then pulling them and they were head shots, or even worse head shots with airbrushed hats or jerseys or in the case of football helmets. Gee whiz.
Of course, I guess there is worse, I'll never forgive Topps for their 1973 Joe Rudi card, which of course isn't even Joe Rudi. |

I really can't add anything, other than saying it still pisses me off that I didn't understand about the series thing. Looking for players that were either in a series that was no longer being sold, or one that was in the last series that didn't get sold where I purchased them. Damn, I'm having flash backs and it's not good. Thanks for ruining my Valentine's day...I think I need therapy, or to spend lots of money on cards. Ok, problem solved.

My years of buying packs was between 1959 and 67 at which point girls suddenly became more interesting than they were previously. Anyway, what I hated was that trip to the store when the boxes of baseball cards were replaced with football cards. I was, and still am, a baseball guy. Loved the summers!
