re: Hobby Box Trading Cards (need OT’s help)

Just to clarify my previous post. Good shape for mid-late 70s cards would be at least 3 good corners, no creases, and factory surfaces (ex. no one taped either side and then ripped the tape off). I didn't know the hobby all that well while I first collected as a teen in the 80s. I have a bunch of cards from my favorite set design ('87 Topps) that were either held together in stacks by a rubber band or have staples from me putting them on my corkboard. They're worthless.

That's not even my biggest regret. It's 3 boxes that I've opened before the Covid bubble. Opened a box of '85 Topps in 2013 (now worth 4x what I paid then), '89 Upper Deck LOW (traded what I later found out to be fake autographed picture plaques for the box...worth quite a bit now), and one of my gifts for Xmas in 1986...'86 Topps FB which is compounded by the fact that I gave the nicest Rice from it to my cousin who grew up to be a prick.

I don't want my email hanging around this board so if you're still around let me know and I'll put it up briefly in case you need some specific advice.
