Ahhhh, the massive overproduction years. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 14:13 5
- Ugh. I shudder to think of the money wasted on *boxes* of Upper Deck cards worth virtuatlly nothing. Worst of all: Skybox Basketball cards. - musubi Oct 21, 14:17 4
  - hmm, I still have 2 binders plus a bunch of cards from the 80s (baseball and football). I need to figure out what to do with them. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 21, 14:18 3
    - Search for any of the big rookies. Burn the rest. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 14:25 2
      - Don't be silly. Give the rest to neighborhood kids to put in the spokes of their bike. (nm) - musubi Oct 21, 14:29 1
        
        Then it's just litter you have to clean up after they stop caring. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 14:29
