about 200 cards from almost every year...but almost no high #s, and ( I guess as could be expected ) 90% commons !
In addition, every Mantle, Mays, Aaron...well worn and " played with " ! LOL
He took trouble to put EVERY card in a plastic sheet ( every G- VG common, all of them ! LOL )
so far best stuff seems to be some of the late 60s early 70s inserts ( which Im guessing as a kid were played with the least ! )
and finding another example that this " last series/ 7 th series " thing..is obviously true
its been a lot of fun, but absolutely no pot of gold at end of his rainbow !

At least it was 66-71 cards. Pretty much every mint condition really old collection I look at is beat up junk from the late 80s-early 90s.
