Well I didn't start collecting in 1977, probably because that was the year I was born, but I still hold a special place in my heart for those mass-produced-worth-less-than-toilet-paper-can't-get-a-dollar-for-a-5000-count-box cards from the late 80's to the early 90's. I began selling at shows at the age of 11, and still have vivid memories of hoping to pull a 1986 Chris Brown, 1987-Bobby Bonilla, 1988-Gregg Jefferies, 1990-Ben McDonald and Eric Anthony's. The best thing about the cards from my childhood is that with a dollar in hand I can buy as many of them as I could EVER need. Seriously, I do bust out a box of cards from that era and, while they don't give me the same enjoyment as looking through Old Judges, they bring back so many memeories of my young childhood that they are irreplacable.
