<< You can still get a worthless pack of regular Topps for $1. >>



That's good to know. Not sure whether you are being tounge in cheek about regular cards being "worthless", though. After all, until Upper Deck came along in the early 90's, all that you got were "regular" cards. There were no inserts/jersey cards/autographs, etc. If memory serves me correctly, inserts first appeared in the 1991 card issues.

I just remember the when I was a kid in the early/mid 80's, it took me roughly three hours of mowing lawns/babysitting to earn enough money to buy a box of cards. Nowadays, I'm guessing that kids are looking at 6-8 hours of work to earn enough money to buy a low-end box of cards, and 10-12 hours of work to buy a higher-end box.

Topps issued inserts one per pack for YEARS prior to 1991. check.....mate image
