Over the years of my working life I accumulated quite a collection of business cards. I was in mortgage banking with three different companies and in real estate with two different companies but with at least five different job descriptions and finally a job with my church which also earned me a card. So when my west coast brother informed me that today is "Trading Cards for Grown Ups Day" I realized that over the years I have traded cards with quite a large number of other grown ups. I do realize that there are also other types of cards that adults might trade, like sports memorabilia. Every once in a while, a collection of those cards shows up on Antiques Road Show, and I am always surprised at their value. Of course many people started those collections in their childhood. The only thing I remember about collectable cards in my childhood was that we could buy them at the drug store and they came packaged with bubble gum. I probably should have kept the cards.
