Is the question what is the value of nostalgia?
I am now mid 40s and remember my parents friends wanting/owning old cars 1967 Mustangs, Coke memorabilia, records of their parents music. Certainly cards were nostalgic then, but as a mid 40s guy lived through the the 80s/90s junk wax and played with 2nd generation Gi Joe’s/ Transformers and watched Star Wars and Karate Kid 100s of times. It really does not matter what it is mostly everything from that era is now “valuable”. Graded Nintendo games from 1993, toys whatever we all want that feeling of what it was like being a kid. In 20 years my kids will be talking about Silly Bands and Paw Patrol and how I threw it out.
“Luckily” I still have some of my favorites cards/memorabilia from then and now I can get some of the items I saw in magazines like Goudey #144.
