I may have teared up! - Early "Relic" from this Super Collector's Journey

[RAZOR-Z]

Today we celebrated my son's birthday party at the park. Invited all the immediate family and had a blast - great day!

Upon arriving I was greeted by my father extending a folded up piece of paper to me...
It took a second but when I realized what it was I felt this emotion inside and teared up!

It was a checklist from my early days when my dad would take my edited versions to work and have his secretary update and print out a new copy!
This was very early on in my Canseco collecting - Only about 130 cards on it! If I could only tell my past self what we would be getting ourselves into! lol

I think that memories are the main thing about card collecting.

That's pretty dang involved for being young. I scoured becket and highlighted my "needs"

-These were all the ones that we had already acquired from card shows.

It was so we didn't re-buy any that were on the list. Ohhh the memories!

Yep, deciphering that looks like it had taken her quite some time to do!

Cool little piece of your collecting past there!

I just tossed my old photocopied lists out not that long ago... I had them going back to the early 90's when I used to get the big catalog which had all the crazy oddball sets listed. basically had all the little boxes checked off except for a few.
