Had this card since I was a kid. Remember the moment vividly when I got it from Bruce’s Variety store in Bethesda, Md. It was in a display box that sold celo packs at the cashier counter and this card was on the top of it. It’s funny how we remember obscure moments like this, yet I couldn’t tell you what I had for breakfast this morning! 🤣

Yeah, the card isn’t in the best shape, but it’s been with ne longer than any relationship I have had. Maybe I should talk with my therapist about this?!?! 🤣😉😂

Is there any card moments you remember as a kid you’d like to share?!
