As a new collector, I always enjoy hearing of new finds. I recently picked up three T5 Pinkertons at an estate auction for $20.00/each. I didn't even know what they were. They just looked like something that might have some value. I sent them in to SGC to get graded and, more importantly, to see if they are real or reprints. Hopefully I won't get hosed!!

I also saw on Ebay the other day a bunch of SCG graded material that was advertised as being from a recent Baltimore find that was "fresh to the hobby". I wish the Seller had included more information about what happened there.

Do you have any stories about vintage cards you found in shoeboxes, public sales? If you are a dealer, did you ever have someone come in with a collection who had no idea what they had? Let us know what they had, how much were the items worth? Where was it stored are these years?
