99.9% of the cards are trash. And even if you have a valuable rare card, it’s likely not worth as much as you think, if you didn’t wear gloves and seal it in a case as soon as you saw it.

99% of the cards are trash. You’d have had to spend tens of thousands of dollars back then to get jackpot cards. And they’re only jackpot now because nobody knew they’d be worth anything today.

Most of the cards are worthless. And any valuable card you have likely isn’t worth as much as you think, unless your first instinct was to seal it in a case as soon as you saw it.
