Collectors Recall Their First Full Box

Opening one pack of cards was always fun when you were a kid. Two was even better.  

So when you somehow had the opportunity to open an entire box–whether you saved enough on your own or (more likely) an adult bought one for you– it was sensory overload.  

All those cards.

All that gum (if you’re old enough to remember when cards always came with gum).

Over the weekend, we asked our Facebook fans to recall the first time they bought or received a full box and the stories were pretty great.
