Purchased this group earlier this morning. Fresh to the market--looks like there are some rare variations mixed in. The original owner definitely loved his Sovereigns!

Actually found these in a folder in the 80's - 90's tub. Granted the seller had 6-7 tubs of new stuff.

Oh my goodness!!!! Great find.

WhenItWasAHobby 09-01-2013 12:25 PM

Now this is what the hobby is all about: the time-consuming, arduous hunt and then finding items you are truly passionate about! Major congratulations are in order!

dog*dirt 09-01-2013 12:27 PM

Just awesome. Congrats!

wonkaticket 09-01-2013 12:52 PM

Very, very cool Matt. Congrats.

slidekellyslide 09-01-2013 12:52 PM

CONGRATS!!!! That's awesome...I'd be trembling if I found those at a flea market.

HRBAKER 09-01-2013 12:55 PM

Oh my...
 
I would go get a six-pack of the best beer I could find, then sort through them about 20 times...too cool!

Take Care,
Geno

1880nonsports 09-01-2013 01:26 PM

wow
 
most of my flea market and box finds are sore feet and paper-cuts. I'd be looking and sorting - and then do it all over again. :-)

Sean 09-01-2013 01:30 PM

Excellent find.
If you come across a Gabby Street throwing that you would like to sell/trade, please let me know. :)

Texxxx 09-01-2013 01:31 PM

Great find!
Guess I better get out of here and head to the flee market.;)

yanks12025 09-01-2013 01:39 PM

If you don't mind can we know the price??

t206blogcom 09-01-2013 01:39 PM

Nice find! That stack of T206s is the best one of the bunch!

insccollectibles 09-01-2013 02:32 PM

Great find! Congratulations.

Exhibitman 09-01-2013 02:37 PM

I found a group of 100 mid-1920's Zeenuts about 15 years ago at an antique store (in decent shape and cheap), but I think this find easily tops mine. Congrats! And to think it was just lumped in with a bunch of 1980's-90's cards. I don't think a lot of us would have bothered diving into that type of rubbish heap. It reminds me of some dreams I have had of finding old cards just lying on top of garbage cans.

Awesome garb! Congrats!

Danny Smith 09-01-2013 03:24 PM

Siiiiiiiiick!!!!

Congrats

KCRfan1 09-01-2013 03:41 PM

That's great Matt! All I ever find is a bunch of junk....:(

Wymers Auction 09-01-2013 04:15 PM

Great find. Man how did you play it cool when negotiating for those. Mixed in with junk he probably did not even know what they were. That find would be very exciting.

GoldenAge50s 09-01-2013 04:22 PM

Nothing like a "find" to set the heart a' pumpin'! CONGRATS!

The fun of going thru them, sorting, then inspecting for anomalies is worth the price alone, aside from any card value itself!

I'm still inspecting the 136 card "find" I came across 4 yrs ago!

freakhappy 09-01-2013 04:40 PM

Awesome!!
 
Score!!! I'm happy for you, Matt...big congrats to you on the find!

Amazing find, congrats. What did you get them for?

jp1216 09-01-2013 05:16 PM

That stack of raw T206s is amazing. Enjoy the beauty!

wowza, wowza, wowza... I DREAM of that kind of find.
(just went to a massive flea market today and found zero pre-war cards...

CONGRATS!

sporteq 09-01-2013 08:29 PM

Simply amazing!!

vintagecpa 09-01-2013 08:38 PM

The Flea Markets I attend seem to specialize in overpriced 1988 Donruss. Congrats on the find of a lifetime.

Thanks for all the kind responses. Turner and I are currently sorting the cards. It really is a task, scanning, sorting, keeping the backs and fronts straight for scans etc... but it is fun.

Most of the cards range in the SGC 10 - 30 range. Will post more later.

Thanks for all the PM's as well.

Thanks,

Matt E.

thescooper 09-02-2013 12:11 AM

Stop teasing us!! How much you pay???

ruth-gehrig 09-02-2013 04:29 AM

Sweet stuff!! Congrats to you!

the 'stache 09-02-2013 04:36 AM

In the immortal words of Jeff Spicoli, "awesome! Totally awesome!"

I am so happy for you, Matt! If it were me that found them, I don't think I could have contained my sheer delight. I'm afraid I don't have much of a poker face.

Do you have a favorite card (or three) thus far?

joeadcock 09-02-2013 05:36 AM

Congratulations on this pick up at Flea Market. :)

Wite3 09-02-2013 08:26 AM

Great find...I would just love to find the little stack of t205s!

bmattioli 09-02-2013 11:20 AM
