TONYBack in the 80's I got a call from a guy in detroit who claimed to have TWO complete sets & many dupes.....
so he actually flew out to Los angeles & met me at his hotel room next to LAX.....
I said i will beleive this deal if I see it with my own 2 eyes......
well he opens up a briefcase & pulls out dozens of 1949 PCL cards.....I get excited until I see the cards conditions
all appear real except..........
they were in 2 grades below poor........
due to poor storage........rats got to the cards & ate away parts of every card........
over 100 cards & not one was collectible.......
i still tried to buy them but he thought they were still worth a fortune........
this dumb dude wasted a round trip tix for zero......
all appeared to be factory cut, not hand cut.......had to be the biggest hoard ever of this set........wonder what ever happened to them????? maybe he gave them back to the rats.......
