Matt, Great addition, your passion for collecting is second to none. I love seeing it!
Rare or unrare, I could care less, I still LOVE collecting the 80's cards. i started collecting in 1987, and the first stuff I bought was 87 Topps. This was at the height of McGwire hitting 49 HR and Canseco cards blowing up. I have obviously branched out to everything from prewar cards to mostly Post War HOF rookies now, but I still buy the 80's wax and purchase the occasional 80's/90's graded card as it takes me back to simpler times when I was a kid selling blow pops and now N laters in middle school for .25 each to be able to buy a wax box each week to rip and trade cards with my friends.
As an aside, the 25 in my user name and also my email address is because my favorite player as a kid was Mark McGwire and he wore #25.
