Is that like wine bottle corks?
Me too. I still have mine. Well over 100 I think. I still have all my toys and everything else too. I'm kinda of a clean and neat hoarder. lol.
Collected sports cards (football mostly) when younger. Got back into it again about 10 years ago. It’s all about knowing the right stuff to get its condition and it needs to be graded by a reputable 3rd party grader (psa or BGS) to be worth much unless you are sitting on a 1952 topps Mickey Mantle somewhere. Good thing I got into it when I did. I wouldn’t be able to afford a lot of the cards I have now. They have gone up significantly in value over the last 5 years. Just check the eBay auctions. Some of my highlights. Looking at about $24K below at current market prices in recent auctions. My 3 year old will probably end up with them someday.

I have multiples of all the 70's ones you show there and tons more some older as well. Is there a source of how to go about getting the right ones graded and how to turn them into money? Thanks.
I collected a little bit of Motley Crue memorabilia for a period of time. Later sold most of it, but still have my records, including an autographed Shout At The Devil LP and a Leathur Records 2nd release Too Fast For Love LP.
Here is a start about getting cards graded.

If I had higher end graded stuff I wanted to part with I'd consign with these guys on ebay. Brent Huigens is the owner.

Followed by the guys at the link below depending on what it is you are trying to move (Still can move graded stuff, but possibly a better option if you are trying to move ungraded or large card lots. Rick Probstein is his name.

Going through either of those will save you a lot of headache taking out a lot of the guess work and yield you a better result than just putting your stuff up by yourself on ebay. They are both very reputable. Obviously they take a cut of the final sales price, but it's reasonable.
