Mr. w collects cast iron cookware. He’s started to collect for selling, too. If you want to clean the old stuff, soak it for 5 days in TSP. Then finish off any grime with Easy Off. Here are the world’s best seasoning directions. Poke around this site to see what’s collectible.

I need to use my cast iron stuff more. :(

Just too easy to grab one of the non-sticks and use it for minor cooking since it heats up a bit faster on the electric stove. But certain dishes (like blackened fish) get the cast iron by default. I’ve even carried 1-2 of my cast iron pans down to North Carolina since I knew I was making cajun fish at least once while down that way. (Both times were group rentals of a house that had cookware stocked. But no guarantee they had any cast iron available.)
