Very good and heartfelt article. Good thing, I guess, that I quit collecting "modern" cards at the time back in 1984….

I wonder if in 100 years after most people have thrown out these cards will they actually gain value ? The current members won't be here to see it but as the cards are removed from circulation could it get to a point when they have value once again ? Points to ponder!

Donating them to a good cause like a hospital is a good use for them.
