Sometimes pulling the stars works and sometimes it is a HUGE waste of time. I posted about one of my cleanups a few years ago. At first I tried selling a large flat rate box of HOF rookies with star/HOFer player collections in sheets. After selling the first USPS large flat rate box full of HOFers for less than a dollar in the auction section. I said F it and burned 2 55 gallon barrels of cards including the HOFers and insert cards.
They are extremely fun to look through before you throw them away.
Found an old pic to add of my process.
