Player Trading Cards were the original Blind-Box

Life is like a pack of hockey cards – You never know what you’re gonna get. Chocolates on the other hand have that little map that tells you what each one has inside. So you can avoid the orange ones, anyway… When I came across a couple bags of old hockey cards at a thrift […]
