I'm a huge collector. Had to leave a good chunk of my collection behind in storage as I just moved across country. Still hoping to get them back. Anyone else out there as absorbed in those little pieces of cardboard as me?

    I've got a bunch of them (including a complete set from 1989) in a public storage shed; been there for about a decade now. I hope they haven't been ruined by the elements.

    As a child I perfectly timed my baseball card collecting with the boom of baseball cards and the over saturated market - so every card I have is worth nothing LOL.

    That'd be the mid to late 80s, right?

    late 80's - early 90's for me personally. The days when cards like Upper Decks Hank Aaron Hologram would be going for $250 and now be worth nothing LOL

    Or the classic O-Pee-Chee premiere cards LOL - They were worth a ton out the gate - now I doubt any card is worth over a quarter.

      Oh man, I remember those things. I collected thousands of the things back in the early 90s. As soon as I was old enough to realize they were worthless, I boxed it all up. Got pulled back in recently though. Wonder what the stuff I collect now will be worth in 20 years (hopefully not as much as those holograms)

    That was the same time frame for me as well - and oh man you guys are bringing back memories.
