I think this is about the same as me circling a ton of stuff on the Scholastic Book Fair catalog, including that cool Porsche poster, and then my mom giving me $10 to spend as I wanted, which never included the poster because it was $8 and I could get 4 Goosebump paperbacks instead.
That’s funny — my mom still fondly recalls the Scholastic Book flyer. She was one of their best customers. This must have been aeons ago when people walked a mile to school? She needed help getting it home in one afternoon. “Treasure hunt!”
