We've all got stories of our collecting past as kids. Whether you grew up during the junk wax era, the introduction of inserts and parallels in the 90s, or the memorabilia and autograph boom of the 00s, there's likely memories attached to that period of our collecting lives.

Join us to look back at our childhood collecting pasts and consider how that has influenced our collecting presents!
