I might have to start doing this with my multi-duplicates.

In an attempt to unload thousands of junk wax commons, I have done the same thing. I usually throw 20-30 cards in a resealable sandwich pouch. I leave them at ball games, usually where the condiments are. I try to leave them where kids will find them, maybe they will start collecting. I've left them in elevators, even in church. Kids love finding anything. I could not think of a better way to unload these worthless cards.

Exactly what I was going to say! Those are his true RC's, but he does have a 1978 card (my birth year). Still haven't found one of those Padres Family Fun cards for my Ozzie collection though.

1979 also has Bruce Bochy, Pedro Guerrero, Lonnie Smith, Carney Lansford, Bob Welch and Bob Horner RC's in the set.

Ozzie Smith Topps and O-Pee-Chee Rookie Cards are 1979.

That brings up a question... Which cards from 1979 are worth owning from a collectible standpoint? I'm weird with 1979 stuff because its my birth year. Pennies nickels dimes quarters... I save them all, SOMETIMES! Just because they are 1979. So, I need to start a new collection of 1979 cards.Thank you @ Corny! That's what I need, another collection... lol

I need to sell my 1990 Score Traded set on Craigslist!

It is stories like this that will end up with someone finding cards from when they were kids and toss up a 1987 Topps Rafael Palmeiro for $250 on Craigslist and then tell everyone who inquires that they know the value of what they have and don't even try to talk them in to selling it cheaper.

1988 Topps Cloth books for $300 and 1989 Topps Heads Up Test books for $100. Other than those 2, I doubt there is anything else that is triple-digits of him (unless it's some really rare post-2000 card).

Even the 89 UD reverse negative Murphy can be had for less than $30. It MAY book at $50. I don't know of a Murphy card that books at triple digits.
