I like to hoard assorted cardboard

I picked up 110 assorted cards in a card shop's '8 for $1' monster boxes - I'd made one other trip to this card shop and was bored because I saw the cards were a little older [from the late 2000's].

From what I heard is the card shop buys up boxes of cards on the cheap from box busters [everything except the actually hits] and then dumps most of the cards out for people to digest in the spring time - whatever newer cards he has bought, he may still need to sort in anticipation of next year because that is when people tend to come into the store.

I may have forgotten a few cards here and there, even ones I'd already planned on picking up, though I tried to be decisive - trying to figure out whether or not I can add cards to my mini-collections or maybe I just liked the card (s) at the moment and wanted to top off the brick of cards I had built.

There was a bunch of 2006 Topps Turkey Red cards and while I wanted some variety in my haul - I tried to grab the ones featuring mostly players I maybe able to see in-person at some point.
