Well said.

Someday I’ll buy an unopened box on eBay (30 bucks?) just to see if I can pull another Bo. Good memories of that set. Love the wood grain.

Of course, then I’ll have to figure out what to do with all those commons. Would it be frowned upon if I admit that I’ve been slowly chucking my 80’s and 90’s junk wax common cards into the recycle bin as the years go by?
I just picked up the 1980 Bo Jackson Future Stars card in PSA 10 for $30. I love it... I was 5 in 1987 and looking at it brings back so many memories.

Awesome stuff, Dean. 2018 has been the year of me rediscovering cards such as these. I have rarely been happier in my collecting life.

First time back on in a while and no surprise, people complaining about sections instead of just enjoying the hobby...Glad I moved over to Twitter.

Come on over, we actually have fun over there...Cards From The Attic

I always thought it would be cool if the cards were numbered in alphabetical order by player.

I also thought it would be cool if there was a set where the card numbers were determined by length of major league service. So the person with the most MLB time would be given card #1, and so forth.

What do you guys think? Anyone else have some love for the 80's?
I have a few boxes of 1980s from whem I was 4 or 5 years old. Early to mid 80s. I have dreams of having a nostalgia night party in my 70s and opening them. Just not sure what will cause me to actually open them.

I like the memories the cards give me.

For some reason the first thing that went through my head on the Glavine is: Maybe he didn’t REALLY lose his 2 front teeth in a taxi accident. Those look pretty dicey even at that age, no? Maybe he fell washing his car?

Thank you Robert. I understand completely. I really enjoy the nostalgia as well.

I have boxes of 1988 and 1989 Topps on my dresser and pull a pack every now and then and open it for old time's sake. It's quite fun even though the cards are basically worthless.

I also collect rookies from the 80's in PSA 8 slabs because I remember not being able to afford them as a kid or never being lucky enough to pull them from packs. So now that I'm older, I'm picking them up. In PSA 8 they aren't that expensive but are still very nice examples. That way I can get more of them for the same price as say a PSA 10 example.
