Most kids trade baseball cards or something similar. Budding geek that I was, I found a package of "Dinosaur" cards at a zoo gift shop during one of our summer vacations. I was trading 1:50 for baseball cards and, of course, there was a bidding war for T. Rex. I picked up the whole set of trophy cards for him. At the bottom of the package was a teaser card for another deck and it had a photo of the solar telescope at Kitt Peak. Seeing that telescope was a line item on my elementary school bucket list. Far too long later, I finally made the trip on a visit to Tucson and it was completely worth it!
