You could walk into almost any mail on a weekend and see a card show.
It was completely different the, and now I would be hard pressed to name anywhere locally that sells cards that isn’t Wal-Mart. Obviously I live in an extremely rural town instead of north Jersey like I did in the 90s.
End rant.

That's because there weren't breakers (thank god). It was the only way to get cards into people's hands. Now a huge percentage goes to carnival barkers with a youtube account and an iphone. And all the base goes in the trash...
