The only "find" that I purchased was back in 1982-83 shortly after I got out of college and had a real job (and real money).
A friend of my Dad's sold my brother and I his childhood collection. Wasn't a lot of cards but some high quality 1952 Topps and 1953 Bowman Color (a lot of them graded out in the 7-8 range years later) , some 1952 Red Man and a set of the Callahan's in a box (that I'm pretty sure looked different and had a cellophane window to let you see the cards.
We used to set up at shows a few times a year back then. I thought the Callahan cards were not at all attractive - so I sold the entire box at the first show we set up at after I bought them. I'm guessing I probably sold the entire set for about $20? Sigh.
