Slightly OT- You never know what kind of collection your neighbor has.

Was hitting yard sales with the wife today and was at this older couples sale (mid 80s) less then 2 miles from my house. While the wifey was talking to her about cake pans me and the man got to talking about baseball which got to talking about cards. After a little bit he said he had some older ones that I probably have never seen before. He goes into the house and after about 10 minutes comes out with 2 Tupperware containers and ends up pulling out about 2000 T206 and 200 T205 cards wrapped in ziplock bags. He said about 2400 total by his count. He wasn't too keen in showing them off too much but I did see 2 green back Cobbs and 1 red back Cobb. He said by his count he had 7 different backs. He said his dad gave most of them to him when he was young and he picked up the rest from a guy he worked with in the early 70s. It was neat just to talk to the guy much less get a glimpse of such a original collection.
