Lots of HOF cards too ;o)

I can provide pics of the 60's, 70's cards (my fav years) if folks want to see them ;o)

Post 'em! Let's see some of your favorites and some of your most valuable, that is, if they're not one and the same.

I used to collect baseball cards in the late 80s/early 90s until the whole industry exploded and there were suddenly tons of different manufacturers and the "market" kind of collapsed. I still miss the days when it was just Donruss, Topps & Fleer.

And then I have a big box of 90s-early 2000s cards I got from my neighbor for $15 at a garage sale. Like thousands; he begged me to take them, since his son didn’t want them anymore.

I doubt it; the issue is that all the sneaker kids are now in the game, and people see that there is money to be made. Not only is there an insane amount of "breakers" who make a tonne of money for very little work. Unfortunately, I do not believe it will. When it began to creep into Hockey, I knew it was bad.
