Oddly though sometimes holding onto the original card for its history and character is worth more than spending the effort to find an upgrade.CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6581749200282165841.post-23292417168882066942015-02-22T22:24:24.220-05:002015-02-22T22:24:24.220-05:00Thankfully I wasn't too hard on my cards as a ...Thankfully I wasn't too hard on my cards as a child and most have stood the test of time.

I'd assume that a card that's been with you since your were younger would hold more sentimental meaning to you.<br /><br />On a sidenote, I'm getting really hungry after looking at that box and might pick up a box of good old diabetes at Stop & Shop later today.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.com
