I have two neighbors who asked me the values of their junk wax era childhood cards....I didn't laugh at them, patiently looked through their "junk" and then told them the truth, that was a year ago, neither have spoken to me since????
My son's baseball coach had me swing by his house to look at his childhood collection of cards. When I told him "the truth" about the majority of his junk wax collection, I could tell he was not happy. On the bright side, I told him some of the cards in his collection did seem to have some value after looking up their sold prices via ebay....they were his 5 different cards from his 6 years in the minors. He had saved 50-60 copies of each of his cards....single cards from those team sets sell periodically around $3 each. He now understands how an over supply can suppress value in the card market.
