Default #1 cards

Posted By: jay behrens

I know that most collections I looked at had their cards sorted numerically. Some were in rubber bands, some not, but all were in shoe boxes or velvetta cheese boxes.

The most impression collection I ever saw was a group of 1952-54 Topps cards. When I looked at he 52s I didn't see a Pafko on top and when I started looking at them, they were in order, so I thought he didn't have the card. About half way through the stack, I ran across the Pafko. The finest one I've ever seen. SAdly, the gentleman passed away before I could complete the deal to purchase the collection. He also had 49-52 Bowman and some 55 Topps All-Americans and those little college football cards with team pennants on the back that were about the size of a postage stamp along with the wrappers.

I saw weird stuff in that place last night. Weird, strange, sick, twisted, eerie, godless, evil stuff. And I want in.
