Congrats, Jason! Where in Missouri are you located? I'm in Clayton, and hearing of your find gives me hope that maybe there's another one lingering nearby. |

I too live in Missouri (Atlanta) and am elated to hear of your good fortune. Not a whole lot of finds I can recall from the Show Me State, it's good to know there are still a few left to be uncovered. |

I live in Nebraska, but it sounds like maybe the cards were found around the St Joe area which is only about two hours away from me. |

It's a "find" because he's announcing it. Just like Columbus "discovered" America but there were Indians already here. You have to let people know about it to get credit for a "find" or "discovery". |

At the top of the page are the Forum Rules. At the bottom of them it explains...but a few things to remember. They need to be .jpegs, under 128kb each in size, and no weird names for them...with any periods, hyphens, or spaces...if you have trouble email me and I will help. You can also send me the .jpgs to my email and I will do them for you. I will be out a fair amount today doing family things though... |

I have found imageshack.us to be the easiest way to post scans. |

If you use imageshack or other resources be sure you click the preview before you post. Sometimes the scan can come out about 2 feet long and sort of mess everything up.....there are many other picture hosting resources you can use...find one that works and go for it. I still use the temp files of Net54, but to each their own....good luck.... |

Finds are a funny thing. Whenever a collector hears about a find in close proximity to where he lives he always wishes he was the one who got the call. I was once consigned a collection of about 150 tobacco and E-cards that included a very nice T205 Hoblitzell "no stats." The family who owned it lived less than half a block from me. I passed the house hundreds of times, but how could I know it was there until I was contacted? For all I know there are 1000 vintage cards in somebody's attic next door, and they will call someone in California to fly in and buy them. I live in an area of 19th century brownstones with many families who have been living in the same place for generations. But what do I do, ring doorbells and say I would like to rummage through your attic? Finds are really just the luck of the draw. |

So if I clean their attics and find a steamer trunk filled with Old Judges do I tell them what they are worth, or do I offer to take the trunk down to the dump and dispose of it for no extra charge? And what if I clean a thousand attics and find nothing? That's an awful lot of backbreaking work. |

You will get every opinion from "take the money and run" to "do unto others". Where you land on the spectrum of choices is up to you. |

Adam- It's not going to happen anyway, and I know if I ever did find one I would do the right thing. And talking about steak- my wife just broiled a delicious one bathed in teriyaki sauce, cooked in our crappy oven (they don't allow propane grills in an apartment). But it sure was good. |

Thanks for all the emails and advice. I have received alot of wantlists. However, when I decide to sell them I will let everyone know through the Buy Sell Trade thread and give eveyone one EQUAL opportunity on every card. |

I just wanted to extend a GREAT THANK YOU to Dave Foreman and SGC. They handled my cards very professionally and the turn around time was above and beyond what I had expected. I thought the grades initially were tough on some and alot of the cards look very nice considering the technical grade given, but I admit you guys are atleast consistant and the most accurate in my opinion. This is one of my many reasons I look to purchase prewar cards in SGC holders specifically. Eventually I will turn my entire vintage collection into SGC slabs time permitting. |
