I also used to hate them. Then I got 5 of the w514 cards. Now I realize the artwork on these is really good. And as with all cards, there's history beyond the players on the cards. Who bought them? Where did they buy them? Who cut them out? How were they managed to be kept?

Exactly. that's a great point. and i think there's that added layer of who cut them out and the way it was cut by hand which is a really fantastic level of added depth. i also love that they aren't 'branded' so to speak. they're sort of this public domain, mass produced insert. i find that aspect of it fascinating
