Sore subject with me.
I collected baseball cards when i was a kid. I had pretty much all of the 1968 Detroit Tigers. Most of the cards from 666-70. We moved in 1970.....and my cards were lost or thrown out.
I know for sure I had the 67 Tom Seave/Bill Denehey rookie card that I see is worth $2500.

you are my God. I remember having Bill Freehan and Northrup. That's it. Freehan was a favorite. A Kaline, Lolich and McClain would make a pretty good set. I would have killed a kid for their Gates Brown or Willie Horton.

Collected from about '87-'93 until my money started going for items more associated with teenagers like CDs, sodas, and junk food.
Bought the '88 Topps complete set off a neighbor kid. The set is often regarded as the worst set Topps ever made due to overproduction. Last I looked (a long time ago), the most valuable card in that set was Tom Glavine's rookie. That may have changed as some other guys from that era have made the HoF. Other than that, all my cards came via random packs and a few team sets - mostly Topps, some Donruss (especially '90), and a little bit of Upper Deck. There are a few Fleer, Score, Leaf, and Sportflick (anyone remember these "magic motion" cards?) sprinkled in as well. No idea what my most valuable card is, but I don't think I had anything north of $25 last time I looked.
I also have a few football ('88 Topps) and basketball cards ('92-'93 Fleer Ultra).
Didn’t Topps land some kind of exclusive deal with the MLB a few yrs back? I think they’re the only ones allowed to print cards with Team Names and Logos, which basically means their competitors are SOL. Nobody wants a Mike Trout card of him in street clothes with a stat line on the back that just says “LAA”

A co-worker of mine, who's dad used to own a shop back then, have a laugh here and there about all the cards we had and still have and how they are almost all worthless.
Trust me most of what you have can either go on the curb or in the burn pile.
I am really embarrassed to admit this. I had a full set of Monkees cards.

I was in junior high. I can remember a serious discussion about who was better, the Monkees or the Beatles.Brave man. Something tells me you weren't the only one. Wait...
