Is there such thing as junk era vintage cards?

Back in the 80s cards from the 60s-70s were considered like junk wax is now. There was so much of it nobody thought it would be worth anything close to what it is now.

Yep,

I paid $3 for a stack of 50 1968 Topps at a flea market, and my local shop I hng out at said I paid too much. Most 60's commons were only 5-10 cents each in the early 80's and not much more by the end of the 80's.

Not to the same degree as 74-81 but I would make a case for most of 60-72 early series cards because of the big difference in supply compared to the high series cards. I feel the first few series are way to easy to get and cheap assuming you aren’t looking for gem mint cards. Where high numbers for the most part demand out ways the supply.
