runscottI've had non-collectors ask me if I saw the news article about the huge "t206 find", and I've told them that from what I can tell, there's nothing special about it, for the same reasons mentioned by others in this thread. Most of us have been involved in bigger finds than this.
The SGC-graded HOF'ers I'm currently auctioning mostly came from a large find that featured many copies of each card, and most in vgex or better condition (according to SGC!). For instance, I picked up five Matty black caps and four Chance yellow portraits from the "find". There were also some nice variations such as the Smith I'm currently auctioning and the Elberfield Washington portrait in EX+ (that a friend got to before me). In addition, as far as I can tell (they've been picked through by others before getting to me), most were nice Old Mill backs.
