I have a Larry K basketball card that I would like to give to someone who could appreciate it. I just found it when I moved and must have gotten it in a pack as a kid.

My collection is over 50,000 cards and my most valued is a little over $100(was well over $200 20 years ago) and I doubt I could get $50 for it. Maybe some day they’ll come back around. Tell then they’re just taking up a corner of my storage unit.

Card market is doing well for high end - high quality. Pull your nicer cards, get them graded, you can get top dollar for 9’s and 10’s vintage. The bust actually started in 1987 with Topps over production, there was some excitement for modern players into the early 90s. It was pretty much done by 1994 when I left the hobby.
I have about 650,000 cards, and luckily much of it is vintage. I’m complete from 69-94 Topps, and about 90% complete from 57-68. My oldest cards are 1933 Goudeys

Wow. If you don't mind me asking, how much room do they take up and how do you store them?

I'm impressed with your collection. I would argue that the de-valuation occurred not because of Topps, but because of the glut of other products after 1987. For my entire youth Topps was the only legit card set issued every year, and then suddenly there were dozens of companies trying to compete and watered-down the market.
