Trading Cards - so much more than a piece of board.

My cards story started i primary school with Rugby league cards and cricket cards. We used to play flicks as well but it was up against a wall (very bad for the cards but it was whoever got closest to the wall. I still have the 1988 set of stimorol and its in pretty good condition. I also had Neihbours , garbage pail card/stickers and Michael Jackson cards (i only have the Garbage pail - dont know where the rest went. Then i hit high school and stopped collecting until yr 11 when a teacher found a 92-93 Dale davis (i think) Upperdeck card and once i saw it i was like wow. The fire had re-ignited. I got a job at Timezone (still have free game passes if anyone wants to trade) and i remember spending hours going to card shops busting packs and sorting cards. I only started back up last yr and have to thank gemini for introducing me to this forum, this is the first time i can actually share my hobby with others who enjoy the hobby.

I never played flicks. In fact this is a phenomenon I have never heard of until this thread. I would never have flicked my cards.

I remember playing marbles for keeps though - never should have done that, I sucked at it. *ahhh memories*

marbles in summer flicks in winter. Flicks got real serious in primary as we started to sticky tape the cards up to get more distance and control .
