Garth,
I have been handing out my junk to area kids, it is surprising how many want to collect those 88 and 89 Donruss. But I tell the kids, that these cards will never make you rich, so have fun with them.
I do tell them to put them in their bicycle spoke, shuffle them like playing cards, and make up their own teams and games and don't be afraid to put rubber bands on these cards. Basically, have fun with them, as they were intended.
Their eyes seem to light up. Their parents are the product of the dead era cards. They have taught their kids that cards are not worth collecting. But when they hear that they can have fun with the cards, that seems to work. I think we can use these cards in a useful manner to give some of these kids a push in the right direction when it come to our hobby. Give it a try, let me know what you think.
Bill
