This was such a great read, as a kid I did the same shit just to try and get X-men merch and Fleer Ultra cards. Learned from an early age how to hustle from collecting aluminum cans to also mowing lawns.

hahaha. I had too many other hustles. Now, my younger siblings were all about the cans for cash!

I was just about to say that, aluminum cans! Went door to door one summer collecting them to buy comics.

This was such an awesome read! Being a 90's kid my scene was more the cartoons and Pokémon cards! Glad the story had a happy ending with you saving up for the shirt!
