Night Owl Cards

I'm always fascinated when collectors can recall the name of the store they went to for their cards when they were little. Maybe it's because they're still young, or maybe it's because they still live in the town with that store, or maybe they have excellent recall. I, on the other hand, am not young, do not live in the same town where I first bought cards, and have the memory of six-month-old summer squash. Every time I try to recall the name of a store where I bought cards as a kid, all of my memories are orange and mushy. But still, I thought it'd be fun if I could break down where I bought cards through my collecting life. Even if I don't know the names, it'd be like a little diary of my cardboard suppliers through the years. These days most current cards come from one of two places -- Target or Walmart. Neither of those are going to produce many happy memories. Nothing in Walmart makes me happy. I'm even sad in the card aisle half the time. ...
