You still did the right thing. I had a lot of junk cards too. It was very cathartic to weed through them all, keeping the marginally more valuable cards and ditching the rest. Not to mention the fact that it freed up space and weight when we moved a couple of years ago.

Now I am much more streamlined and un-encumbered by all the crap cards.

I had a card hoarding problem for a while. From the time I got into cards in the 80s I loved buying, selling and trading cards. I would buy huge collections and sell the best stuff to get all my money back and then keep the rest. After around 15 years I had build up an entire room full of cards. I had easily 5+ million cards and most had little to no value. That is when I decided I no longer enjoyed the selling part. I moved 4 times since then and moved them from house to house. Finally around 6-7 years ago I said this is crazy and went through most of it and now have a very small percentage of that left. It was really fun going through the cards and getting rid of all the worthless junk. Funny and bad part is all the stuff that was considered junk that I burned/gave away was easy to sell during the covid era.
