Baby's first year of trading cards

The comics don't last long when my daughter gets her grubby little hands on them, but she's also really into some of my old trading cards that I bought in the early 90s and held onto for no good reason, and that's a win for everybody.

 

Their heavy stock and smaller size means they last a lot longer than the comics, they get a bit bent when she goes on massive rants while holding up a Spawn and a Flash Thompson, but they're also pretty durable. Especially the Nightwing, Ash and Gen 13 chromium cards. 

Still, she has utterly destroyed a dinosaur from the Jurassic Park movie trading card set, and ate a significant amount of a Vicki Vale card from the 1989 series 2 Batman cards, and has slobbered on a 2000ad card with some Clint Langley Slaine that is disintegrating faster than a skull caved in by Brainbiter.

Along with the slow comic destruction, I'm starting to believe this is an excellent way to get rid of some of the nerd ephemera I've unaccountably held onto for years and years and years. They might not survive very long in these new and tiny hands, but they go out well.
