I'm loving it ... "cardboard fillers", or as I called them "placeholders" were a big part of the baseball card component of my homemade 2d6 game. I recall quite fondly at the moment how tough it was figuring out which rookies would get "carded" into the rosters of my various teams.

I'm not sure that we didn't have
more realism our way than some of today's games -- after all, we had complete control over them as kids, if something didn't fit "reality", who among us didn't occasionally ... ahem ... "alter" the results. It's amazing how many re-rolls became neccessary sometimes

I didn't have much room, nor did I have stickers. But the fallen leaves in part of my grandparents yard were would-be tacklers for several college football seasons.

AFAIC, if you were having fun & it was generating sports results in the process ... IT COUNTS !
