I suppose it was easier than having to choose the top 5 or 10. But still, there were a couple of good cards cut at numbers 27, 28 and 29 and up into the 30's. Alas, this will just have to do because I did not want to spend more than $100 annually on the box.

I suppose at some point I'll want to drop some anti-moisture crystals in there. Perhaps a few precious documents and other heirlooms that can still fit between the cards. All in all, an interesting experience and I feel much better knowing that I'm no longer sitting on $15,000-$20,000 of hard to replace baseball cards.

If these cards are valuable cards pay more & get a larger box Joe
