Top Loaders From Days Gone By

I've been going through and sorting out my old boxes of 80s and 90s stars, breaking down sets and pulling the key cards and whatnot the last few days.

When I was a kid, the old man and I collected together. His money, my cards

He kept a box though. We had a walk-in closet with all of our sets and cards stacked in the old box locker shelves.

But his box, he kept it on top of the box lockers. He had cut the lid off to stand the cards up in toploaders. I didn't think much of it when I moved all of the cards to my house after he passed. That box went into a bigger box and into storage.

I pulled it out today to start pulling cards out of the top loaders and sorting out what's worth holding on to and what's not.

I also pulled down one of my boxes, that was closed up, that also had Griffeys in loaders.

Here's the difference in top loaders from a smoking household in the late 80's early 90's.

The 2 on the left were in the old man's box, the top right was in my box of Griffeys and the bottom right is a brand new one fresh from the package.
