I still have mine, but being born in the early 80’s, im guessing a lot my age still do. Theyre worthless, but i figured my kid might like them. Anyone who would have had 50’s or 60’s cards still have them ir did you stick all of them in your bike spokes.

I still have a lot of mine. Sold off some good ones during the last collecting craze. Had mostly 60’s.
My kids collect in late 80’s early 90’s. They still have them.

Gave mine to another kid 30+ years ago. Kid had some learning disabilities and came from a pretty poor family. He was so happy you'd thought I'd given him a million bucks. Still makes me feel good to this day.

I still have a pretty healthy collection of 70 80s and 90s football cards. With a few baseball cards. The rarest most sought-after collector cards are locked away in a safe.

I still have mine. A dozen boxes in the back of the closet. Probably over 10,000. Over 20 full sets. George Brett, Pete Rose, Joe Morgan and many more. Those were the days.

My mother got killed by a drunk driver. My brother and I ended up living with an elderly aunt and uncle. My not so wonderful grandmother and grandfather were executors of my mothers affairs. I had a really good baseball card collection going on because I was a enthusiastic fan.
I had some great cards of some tremendous players. Mickey Mantel, Ted Williams, Willie Mays, and on and on.

My grandparents sold my baseball card collection, my baseball bats, my catcher mitt and fielders glove, my bike, etc. etc.
I am sure my grandfather drank all of it away.
He was what they called a go getter. He always took my grandmother to work then he would go get her. I was old enough to start learning about human behavior and recognize what kind of person I did not want to be.
True story.

The gum in those card packs tasted like cardboard. I never bought it

I did have two milk crates full of comics. Most were 12 cents except the “classics”. Stuff like Moby Dick. Twice the pages and cost a quarter. Mom tossed them while I was boot camp. Who could have known some of those would be serious money 50 years later

I just recently sold all of mine. The cards worth the most right now are Michael Jordan cards. Of course they need to be graded, which I am told takes a year and costs $20 per card. The craze is on right now. One card I had of graded a mint 10 just sold for $6600 on eBay. I had two more that would have sold on eBay for $1500 and $3500 if graded a 10. Mine are not mint 10 so they are worth nothing near that. The guy I sold them to was bragging about a card he sold on eBay and that is what caused me to get them out of the cabinet they have been in for nearly 30 years.

I think Ken Griffey Sr must of had a deal with Donruss or they were trying to do a deal with him because my dad was a friend of a friend of Sr and he had hundreds of Griffey Sr cards. My only hand signed cards are by Griffey Sr, we went fishing together for my birthday almost 25 years ago at Erie on Sr.'s boat

Bicycle spokes and after not picking them up for the 10th time, they got thrown out. Had a bunch of the good ones too.
