I was glad to hear the Barks trading cards mentioned again. They bring
back fond memories from about five years ago when I started
systematically picking up those volumes and discovered to my shock that
the early WDC&S ones had the cards randomly inserted. (Which was a
dirty trick.) I believe that practice stopped after #8 so the rest of
the ten-pagers plus the 25 DDAs plus the 56 Uncle Scrooge volumes had
consecutive cards.<br>
<br>
The card #3 was a problem for me for a long time as my copy of #3 came
with card #4. It was sad having to ask various ebay sellers which card
their issues 1-4 came from. For a long time I needed to buy a #4 with
card #3 to "fix" the problem. I finally gave up and bought an extra #3
with card #3!<br>
<br>
So yes, many of us understand collecting these "silly things." :)<br>
