Did you collect anything as a child — stickers, cards, shells, anything? What was the thrill of it?

B Natural answer

Yes, I used to collect trading cards. I kept them in neat boxes and would spend ages sorting them by team, color, or how rare they were. The best part was the excitement of finding a rare one in a pack, because it felt like a tiny win. I also liked kept them in neat boxes so they stayed in good condition. Even now, I remember the calm routine of opening packs and the little rush when I saw something special. It was simple, but it made ordinary days feel more fun.
