Cheat sheet leaderboards updates - 1980s debuts players

Maybe a summer project is to get control of the bulk cards I hoard by players - through August, things have now gotten hotter, where the air is stale and it's hard to be holed up inside a room sorting all sorts of cards. 

I have collected mostly dollar and less binder material of various guys as a catch-all to give me some cheap thrills - maybe I wonder why I still do this, where my collection feels like it hasn't matured and ends up a little backwards. 

Maybe I just like to hoard player piles where every $0.50 card was supposed to mean something - for the most part, it's cards I end up with and not seek out, though that might not be entirely true.

Part of the fun is where I decide to add a number of cards, sometimes on a card-by-card basis [maybe from $0.50 to about $10 at most] - to boost my totals all-around, where it becomes kind of a game to build things up.

There is a sense that players or cards from previous decades just end up dated where no one really cares or wants their cards unless you have some nostalgia - for myself, there is a lingering sentiment for past players' cards, though I have to keep it under control, where it's too many cards that I do not have to take in out of an obligation to curate or be a historian of my personal card collection.

There might be guys in my leaderboards that ends up more like a semester or minor star in sentiment - maybe the distinctions mattered when the guys were playing and their common cards were worth a little something, but now I am more agreeable in considering 'lesser' subjects as second look guys rather than only considering the superstars of an era. 

There might be guys towards the bottom of my leaderboards - that have triggered inclusion, but may not be guys I'm really looking for more cards of.

Ken Griffey Jr. - 280 cards with four dupes and four Ken Griffey Sr.; it might be a case here where I count the Sr. cards as part of the entire totals, though I might include 'one off' bonus cards for other players [that are not their card and are just tallied as one off quirks].
