I'm curious. When I starting collecting cards in the mid 70's, you'd get a pack of 20-30 cards (I forget how much) for 15 cents. I remember my best friend's older brother, he'd go to town and I'd give him $1.05 so he could buy me 7 packs.
It took me awhile to get that $1.05 but collecting cards at the time was fun as hell. Trading was even more fun, the cards of choice the ones where I would get in almost every pack, Mike Lum and Ed Figueroa. I hated seeing those guys.
Anyway, now-a-days with so many card manufacturers and the price of a pack of cards, I was wondering if anyone still collects them. And I don't mean buying a whole set, to me that's not collecting.
