That's awesome! Glad you shared that. My family doesn't understand my obsession with cards, either. I feel they think it's unhealthy but, like I tell them, people blow money on all sorts of things and there are definitely worse things I could be doing with my money, and my time.
Like you, I don't get the hype on the "new stuff". I've always much more preferred the old school guys, particularly in football, which is why I love my HOF collection. You wouldn't know that based on the two players I player collect, though which are Tony Parker (who was my favorite player when I got back into collecting in 2008) and Vince Carter (who is my all-time favorite player in any sport).
