Default Slightly O/T......I am about to go look at 500,000 cards

Posted By: DJ

An old neighbor (in his mid-seventies) flagged me down the other day and told me if I had time, he had some baseball cards he wanted me to look at.

He told me he had several old Bowman sets.

The next day, I walked over, and there they were! Yellow...factory...sealed...bricks. 1989 Bowman set, three of them!

Another time I was contacted about a "potential find" from a friend who said a guy had a complete 1948-1960 Bowman and Topps sets. When I went over there, the gentlemen (also in his mid-seventies) had taken his Poor-Good overall sets, added up every individual card he had from a Beckett Yearly and came up with the fair figure of $250,000.

I'm thinking Leon...mucho 1983 Donruss and some 1978 (vintage commons) sprinkled in.

Good luck!

DJ
