First, Joann, everyone needs coffee... that's good stuff.
Next, I like the idea of the cards selling in the scrapbook. I once was allowed to turn the pages of a scrapbook that had 176 Cracker Jack cards, all flour pasted onto the pages. Great corners on every card, no fading, no creases.
I agree with the folks that think the cards should sell in the scrapbook, then let the winner(s) sort it out. And I understand that once sold they may well get soaked.
Seeing these cards serves as an explanation as to how some of our old cards have great corners, and are in really nice shape. Many cards were put into scrapbooks. And over the years, in the 40s and 50s and 60s, many have been soaked off of those pages.
Only one aspect of it all troubles me, the article describes the Jackson card as rare. It isn't. It's just a high dollar card because of the player. That doesn't make it rare, it just makes it a high demand card.
