It was must for me. Growing up as a kid and being a collector starting in the junk wax era most of it was just worthless bullshit. Do I really didn't need 18, 1985 Topps Dave Finzer's or a dozen or so Mike Horan's? Hell no. Nothing but kindling for a house fire.
It did suck seeing the prices go up in 1989 with the first set of Upper Deck. And it being Griffey Jr' rookie year just made it all the worse for kids. It only got worse. Now there are boxes with one pack selling for thousands of dollars.
