I went to an Estate sale this a.m. - was looking through a bunch of paper items and old photo's and struck up a conversation with an old feller next to me.
"Looking for anything in particular?" says he. "Sports stuff mainly and old tobacco cards" says I. "I just sold a group of those old small baseball cards last week, the tobacco kind - had about a hundred of them and got a great price" he goes on to tell me - "yep, I bought them for $30 and got $200 for them - Ty Cobb was in there but no Babe Ruth - I'd have kept the Ruth ones because I know they'd fetch a pretty penny. Some were white, some were gold and some were red ".
At that point i didn't want to know anything about condition, etc. I already had much more info than i wanted........
