I dont have many pre 1990, as I'm not old enough, but have over 10000 baseball, basketball, and football cards from 1988 to 2000.
I'm also an elementary music teacher of 3 years now, going on 4, and I have gradually brought ALL of those cards to school as incentives. I also give stacks to certain classroom teachers to give out. I teach in an inner-city school with kids who see the cards and are absolutely enthralled with them - even baseball. It has surprisingly been the impetus for many of the kids in my school to become interested in baseball.

1. It shows that there are rewards for hard work. 2. Provides them the same thrill we had as kids when our Pops would be telling us baseball stories while buying us a pack of cards.

As a treat, I brought in a couple T206 Cubs cards to show them what cards looked like 100 years ago. They were dumbfounded!
