Barks Library trading cards

[Marc Newman]

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.

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!

So yes, many of us understand collecting these "silly things." :)

Best,
