I detest those "Kid Reporter" cards. I toss them in recycling. I should use them as packing/protecting for trades. Older Topps ads from baseball and football circa 1980s I am starting to keep and collect (not sure if they did it in the 70s or not, maybe I forget) Odd I know keeping neo-vintage ads and recycling modern ads.

I collect: Baseball, Football, Hockey, Mostly Vintage pre1980, My Homie teams - Washington/Baltimore Teams Senators (Twins, Rangers), Expos/Nationals, Redskins, Capitals, Bullets/Wizards - HOFers - Non-sport (mostly TV shows and movies).

My Trade List is very much a work in progress

You can overcome this. Just throw them away. You don't seem to like them. You don't seem to want them. You are too old to enter the contest. They are worthless. Set yourself free.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Trying to decide if I want to just throw them in a 800 count box with all of my other ad cards or toss them like you say.

Tossing them is ahead at the moment.

I have the "hoarder mentality" but I also have 4 rooms. I find a space for stuff just have to remember where I put it. LOL. ------------------------------- *Bob*
