Happy New Year!
I’ve struggled with collecting modern cards, I
am not going to rehash the complaints collectors have with the newer sets but
just know that I am feeling the same way. It makes me sad that these thoughts
have even crossed my mind.
I wouldn’t say it is necessary
to “re-ignite” my feelings, just a re-direction. When I was a kid, I loved
ripping packs of Star Wars cards. I would go through my collection, add the
missing cards and trade dupes. I would then wrap a rubber band around the set
and place them in a shoe box. I want those feelings again, so I decided that
vintage Star Wars is where I am going to focus. As I typed out the set lists, I
started to feel better.
Nothing modern, no parallels and
for now, no inserts or stickers.
Have fun! 1977 Topps Star Wars were the first packs of cards that I remember opening. They're a big part of my collecting history. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMine was 1987 Topps baseball. I know it's garbage now, but back then it was all about town!
