collected the same kind of stuff. I only saved unopened packs. It was just the packaging that appealed to me. I went for all the variations of of the packs. If one word was different, I'd get it. I collected every brand of cards and every sport. I collected the odd and unusual. I have packs from restaurants, cereal companies, nuts, beer, fruits, candy, ice cream, gas stations soft drinks, pizza, pain relievers, etc, ect, ect!!!!!! I gave it up around the turn of the millennium when packs got too expensive. That's when the card makers took kids out of collecting.
