It would have to be massive to have any impact on value. I thought this site was funny, I've seen the videos of some of the burnings, so it is at least somewhat legit

I like it because that is the set I have the most of, so burn away!
I still think cards from that era are a good way to teach kids about cards at a young age. You can get a ton of them cheap, such as 1988 Donruss and who cares if they ruin some. For the amount of those you could get for $20, it would be worth it to see if they get into cards, and at the same time, teach them how to take care of them. Not to make anyone feel old, but to a young kid age 2-5, 1988 cards are ancient! So you would be getting them into what they would consider, "old" cards. Plus kids love opening packs and new packs today cost way too much
