My family owned a general store in the 70's & 80's. We had kids come in, buy packs of cards, pick out the gum and their favorite player, and throw the rest into the trash. I would go back and tell myself to save those cards, and to focus on one player (I eventually started collecting Hank aaron cards). I'd also tell my brother he should sell his high grade Mark McGuire and Barry Bonds rookie cards.
