Any non-collector would have a hard time knowing what valuable stuff I have.
That's why I have a section of my collection that I call the "uninformed cool" stuff. That's what I'll show them.
It's a type collection of cards from prior to World War 1. About 200 or so total cards. Mostly baseball, but some non-sports 1870-1880's They tell a really good story about how baseball card collecting started (everything from N342, trade cards, etc. through Old Judge, T206 up to Cracker Jack). But they're all commons and the entire thing looks better than it costs.
Anyone who knows nothing about cards would think it's cooooooool. Those of us here on the board would just say.."that's cool"
Non-sport are in a binder
