Posted By: <b>Judge Dred (Fred)</b><p>If your collection consisted of 2 sets (T, DR, F) from the 1980s and the rest 19th century cards then 25% of a collection being 19th century isn't so bad because that'd be a few hundred 19th century cards. <br /><br />You could break this down to the following:<br /><br /><b><font color="red">Percent of the number of cards in a collection</font><br /><br /><font color="blue">Percent of dollar value of the cards in a collection.</font></b>
