Growing up in the late 1980′s and early 1990′s had to be the absolute worst time to be collecting baseball and football cards. It was around that time that the card companies, in all of their infinite wisdom, started producing 800-card mega-sets that completely oversaturated the market. The result? Complete sets that are probably worth about $15 today. So much for being a collectors item.

I have most of those cards, as well. I've been collecting football, hockey and baseball cards since I was 8 years old and have quite the collection, including Clemente, Lemieux, Bradshaw, Greene and Ham rookie cards. :applaudit:

Ahhhhhh - the memories! Not always pleasant, mind you, but still memories. :drink:

Nice read. Made me go look through my old Steeler cards to see which ones I have.
