Epic thread mate, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thankyou for sharing!
My history with cards was being obsessed from 93-96, picked up a box of 97 fleer a few years later after discovering eBay, disappeared for a decade before picking up box of 07 Fleer, then gone for another decade before interest sparked again a couple of years back as it has for many. But I've only bought a single modern box.
Subsequently most of the sets you've shown here were completely new to me so it's been really interesting to see the changes over the years.
