The ANA adopted it in 1977. Apparently dealers started blending it with the adjective grades in the mid-70s. Like you, my earliest collection...
It looks like what happened when I used acetone on what I think was PVC damage. Before left, after right. I gave up trying this stuff on my own...

I think the sheer volume of what you have combined with the hundreds of different varieties gives you your answer on value. Some coins are...
