If you are referring to the junk wax era, yes, it ended long ago. That era was defined by wax where the most expensive card you could pull was a base card with 3 million copies. While there is still a lot of junk in boxes, the inclusion of rare, desirable cards in products, at least leaves open the possibility for something nice in the wax.

Yes on junk parallel, I don't mind gold cards or parallels where I know what kind it is when I see it. Now I pull them and I have to look up what kind it is and most seem to be parallel's for the sake of parallel's. I think there are junk auto's also, sucks when the box hit is an auto of a guy I've never heard. But hey at least I pulled an auto I guess. I remember chasing the auto inserts of the early 90's and never pulled any but at least they were legendary players you had the chance to pull. Also cool inserts, like the Pro Vision insert set, not worth anything now but at least the cards looked cool.
