Observations from a yard sale - 80s/90s junk cards

[ocjack]

Are there actually people who know all of the print errors/variations in junk years, that can go thru a 10,000 count box of random years without having to look up every card on a spreadsheet?

I don't know anything about the errors and variations, so I'm sure that I missed some that were in my purchases, but I don't enjoy going through the 1989 Topps commons looking for them and I am not going to take the time to learn about them.

Hopefully, the person who buys the commons from me will find some cards that are worth a few bucks.

Well, this post got me getting a USPS medium Priority box stuffed with cards and on ebay.
I put in all sports and all manufacturers. I am guessing it holds 3,000 to 3,500 cards.
I hope it sells so I can get more boxes together.
Thanks,
Bob

These are my top 5 worst junk era sets.

88 Donruss is the general joke for junk wax, but I don't think it is that bad. It actually has a decent group of rookies that some of the other 88 sets missed.
I like 88 Score for the colors and the photography. I think it is the best of the 88 sets.
88 Topps is bad, but it is Topps so if you're doing a Topps run you still need it.
91 Donruss is pretty bad, blah design broken into 2 series with no real rookies, but it does have the Elite and signature inserts.
The worst though I think is 91 Fleer. An appalling hideous yellow design, no notable rookies, and no significant inserts. I really have trouble coming up with anything positive about the set.
