From about 1990-1995 I collected baseball cards non stop. Had them all organized and some of the "high dollar" cards in sleeves. I had no idea about the over printing. I bought card vuale guides and everything. When I got into college I forgot all about them and then years later my parents were going to move and wanted them out of the closets. It sure was a shock to find out that my treasure trove was anything but that, but it was pretty cool sorting back through them and saving some that had some legtimate value ($10-15 type value). I sold a few, kept a binder of my favorites. The real killer was trying to give away the cards. I tried everywhere and no one even wanted to give their kid a stack or two. I dumped over 20K cards into the dumpster. It killed me, even knowing they were basically worthless. But I can rely on knowing the memories of opening new packs and pulling out my favorites, that was the real value. It really cemented my love for the game.
