It's so true... and a BIG reason I blog is for the nostalgic feeling. As for decades... I'm more of an 80's kind of guy. But since there's so many cool cards from the 90's... that decade is easier for me to blog about.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-50299558153657475662016-07-13T11:07:09.595-04:002016-07-13T11:07:09.595-04:00I think the 20 year rule tends to map the distance...I think the 20 year rule tends to map the distance between intellectual awakening and disposable income.carlsonjokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15556989250983706634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-44473987042873930412016-07-12T19:32:08.925-04:002016-07-12T19:32:08.925-04:00I know what's missing from Archives.

And if I did have nostalgia for the 70's all the 70's kids would be angry at me for appropriating their decade. They did put out some cool cards back then, though, and I collect them when I can.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-78070805572525389592016-07-12T00:42:33.652-04:002016-07-12T00:42:33.652-04:00I do often wonder what's going to happen in tw...I do often wonder what's going to happen in twenty years when people my age now are in their forties. Surely they won't still like Miley Cyrus and whatever awful sitcom is on TV now...right?<br /><br />But anyways, glad you enjoyed the cards! Didn't realize I sent you two Pedersons but glad you needed both. Call it a happy accident.
