About 10 years ago a card I had been looking for for a while popped up on ebay as part of a lot. I emailed the seller and asked if he would sell the one card separately. We started talking and it became clear that he didn’t know much about cards. He went on to explain that these were his uncle’s cards and that he had inherited them. We worked out a price and I asked him if there were any other cards from his uncle he wanted to sell and he said “I have these” with a pic of stacks upon stacks of gum cards including a near complete set of Diamond Stars which I ended up buying. The entire story is long and drawn out, so I’ll spare the details for brevity, but when I hear or think about the issue, I am always reminded that it always pays to ask, “what else have you got?”
