There are 8-10 3200-5k boxes that have cards @ $.75 each...alot of what can be seen in the pics is junk, but there are some decent things showing (Steve Spurrier RC, 1968 Topps Game card) that I'll dig through for <$1 ea...dozens of 50s/60s stars priced entirely too high (clearly tape damaged 63 Mantle for $150 for example)...I may grab the Spahn & see if there is any damage that isn't in the pic or on the back, and head right to the bulk boxes to see if there is anything missed in there.
I usually show up 30-45 minutes early for a promising sale and am in the first 4-5 in line, so I'm getting there well in advance of that tomorrow

Also, getting to the estate sale 2 hours in advance probably will not be good enough for you to be one of the first sports people in line. It all depends where you live. In MA, you normally have to get there between midnight and three am as that is when the sign up sheet goes up at the good estate sales. Then, you need to make sure no one changes the sheet until numbers are given out around 7am. I am not sure this sale is worth the effort, especially if those are the only cards pictured. I hope I am wrong though, and you get some great items!
