For some strange reason even I don't understand, I've always been fascinated by the first card I added to my collection in a specific year. I even usually made a note of it in my collection listing.

So I'm curious, what's the first card you added this year?

For me, I won't touch any cards until this cold goes away so I don't have an answer yet. I haven't touched a single card since 12/26 and I'm having withdrawals, let me live vicariously through you!

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

I was about to grab a hanger pack of Panini Illusions yesterday that I probably would have opened sometime in the next couple days, but it didn’t have a price on it and all the price check things at Target were disconnected for some reason so I put them back.
