Someone once told me they had an old collection with players like Yogi Berra in it so I went to their house to check it out and the cards were mostly from 1987-90 and the Berra was from a set made by Circle K around 1985. They had a handful of the 33 cards so I showed them that the set sold for $4 including shipping on ebay and those were for mint condition ones. They didn't believe me that the old looking Berra with dinged corners might be worth 50 cents if they could find the right buyer. So I told them the collection was worth about $20 and they said well then I should just throw them out so they don't take up room...they lived in a three story house and it was their vacation house at the shore and the cards fit in a shoebox. Really? Take up too much room?
