Is anyone else shocked that 80s baseball cards are almost worthless?

So sad. I think it was 1985, I bought two full sets of Topps cards. Back then I think there was a hierarchy: there was Topps, who was the original and seemed to be the most pleasing to the eye; then there was Fleer and Donruss, in no particular order, sort of the CBA and Triple A of baseball cards. Or so I thought.

I loved the old Topps cards circa 1982-1984. Some of the old-timers like Pete Rose, they had so many years of stats that the seasons were printed in TINY font, but it made you respect the player that much more, even if you couldn't make out the numbers.

Anyone remember the Topps IN ACTION set from like 1982? Good stuff.
