Default One that got away

It had to have been around 1992-93 back when prodigy ruled for internet bb card buying/trading. I met a friend of an older gentleman who had a ty cobb card but didn't know anything about it. I offered to meet him in Central NJ and I'd take a look at them for him.

I met them at a macdonalds and this man had inherited a tobacco box of cards from a friend of his. It had hundreds of cards many non sports a bunch of e90-1's some hall of famers, some boxers, I remember a pirate back chinese character card and 2 complete sets of e94's minus 1 mcgraw. I easily could have bought them for a fair price but I blew it. I offered to help him sell the e94 sets in exchange for the other cards...I never heard from him again!
