Absolutely true. My great Uncle was born in 1892. He went through the Great Depression in his prime. In the 1970's he still had every scrap of paper, every nick nack that he accumulated from the 20's. Those who went through it were certain it would happen again. Unfortunately he didn't collect cards as he chewed tobacco and didn't smoke. Some great stories though as he was an old boxer.
