But that's another good point - while I was watching a digitized episode of
'Chaotic' advertising a 'beyond rare' digital card, I was wondering how
many people still have their old collectibles (ie those miniature
M.U.S.C.L.E. figures or a complete set of Series 1 Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh
cards). I'll admit that they were fad items but they still appeared to
sell like a hot diggity. (which could make one wonder, once again, what was
in those breakfast cereals besides an overdose of sucrose) }X^
