After listening to Leon and others about how it's becoming vital to grade old cards, I can see your fear actually playing out with either my wife or daughter. I have given my daughter some cards, including a near mint 1960 Topps Mantle. I know she thinks they are cool old cards, and valuable. Valuable to her meaning a few dollars.
