What cards would you trash, if any?
I order a lot of cards online. Often, sellers include various extras as fillers that I find myself tearing up and throwing away--stars and all. Recently, I've torn up some 1989 Upper Deck and 1980's/90's Score/DonrussFleer. I just can't stand to look at those cards in my collection, so I end up ripping them up after a moment of consideration
A few years ago, I actually torn up and threw away an entire complete Factory Set of 1988 Score, including the magic motion card insert set. As the inaugural Score set, I think that pretty much sums up the value of that brand in my opinion. The "crayon box" design is so completely worthless that the company should have named themselves No Hit or Slump.
I also threw away complete hand-collated sets of 1990 and 1991 Donruss a few years ago. To me, the incomplete statistics on the back just make them completely worthless. The flourescent backs on their '80s cards remind me of something from 20 years earlier, but in a non-vintage way..
Fleer are the most depressing looking baseball cards I've ever seen. Seriously, they don't even look like baseball to me. I've thrown out boxes of early '80s Fleer/Donruss containing hall of famers. Actually, I think I actually burned a few 800 ct boxes of this stuff in a backyard bonfire a couple years ago.
Upper Deck managed to fool a generation of collectors by using the same card design for just about every set release. Collectors found themselve paying for a diamond hologram. I continue to tear up each and every one of those cards that come into my possession.
If actions speak louder than words, then I have certainly spoken; but if you're willing to trash it, then you should be able to speak it. If anything, I've helped to increase the value of those sets by reducing supply. I would actually appreciate someone willing to tear up complete sets of my 1987-1991 Topps cards, since I don't have the heart to do it.
