If you like sharks...

[TC84]

As a kid I was fascinated by the Great White and the Hammerhead shark. And then in the mid 80's i saw a program about sharks and mentioned how in some places shark was a delicacy, so then I of course wanted to try it. Have kind of grow out of that now but am still fascinated by these majestic creatures

So glad you didn't eat shark!! I'm not 100 percent on this, but I think when they use the fin in shark fin soup they don't even eat the fin! It's just in there! Sad... sharks have lived on the planet for millions of years and we just go in and kill them for a fin in some soup...

Yep. If I remember the segment correctly it showed a shark filled and honestly it looked like any other fish, but yeah the way we have used everything on this planet to exhaustion is a bit ridiculous. Been binge watching 1923 and now starting on Yellowstone and maybe it's partly missing my home state, and partly being an older adult, but seeing how things have progressed over time and how manipulative people can be is sometimes sickening.

Interesting potential concept - do it along the lines of the YSL set in 2008 Upper Deck. Put a different species in each of the releases for a calendar year and let people go nuts chasing them. Then, we here at The Bench, could do another master set for charity.

The one thing with the A/G sets is that the mini subsets are getting tougher and tougher to complete every year - the full size insert sets, not so much.

I collect the prewar sets that inspired Ginter. There are tons of them out there with just that kind of subject matter. I just recently complete the 100 card 1923 Galleher British Birds set among others.

I've seen the Arm & Hammer 1900s Bird cards on eBay before, thought those were neat... congrats on finishing that set! Are all the birds gray with messed up teeth? lol I kid, I kid... I'm sure England has beautiful birds...
