I've got about 12,000 baseball cards in my parents garage. Albums, plastic boxes, soft plastic sleeves, hard plastic, complete sets, unopened boxes of packs, etc.
Only problem is I started collecting as a little kid in 1987. All those cards I collected from '87- mid 90s are essentially worthless. I've got some random common cards I traded for as a kid from the 60s, 70s, and early 80s. Out of all those cards, only a hand full are worth a damn and they aren't mint. Stuff like Henderson and ripkin rookies, but still nothing worth fooling with. Might could get 1k for all of them which isn't even worth the days or weeks it would take to go through and try to sell them.

Agreed. At some point in the early 80s, it got out of control. Especially when adult collectors could simply buy the entire run straight from Tops. It drove the value right into the ground. Then it got ridiculous with chaser cards and who knows what other silliness.
When I was collecting, it was pretty much just kids who saved their change to purchase small packs a dime at a time, and they still came with gum (or a semblance of gum), and you literally never knew what you were going to get.
That was actually fun. Don't think you can do that nowadays.
