I would shuffle them up and separate them into two piles and "play" them against each other. I had some formula which i can't remember now but involved adding up the rbis, homeruns and BA. It's no wonder I ended up playing APBA. :) I had fond memories as a kid of those 70s cards too. I would shuffle them up and separate them into two piles and “play” them against each other.

Cards in the 1970s were nice. Now they all look like they were made from space shuttle tiles and they cost about $5 for a pack of 10 cards. Back in my day it was a quarter, and we walked uphill through the snow both ways to get them, and they were worth it. Cards just haven't been the same since the mid-80s or so.

It has a pretty strong following, and perhaps things will eventually change back. Well, at least Upper Deck has the World of Warcraft Collectable Card Game Going for it.
