Your ultimate "find"

[sreader3]

You have an great aunt who met another elderly lady who owns a few dozen old baseball cards that she knows nothing about. Your great aunt knows that you collect and tells her new friend that you would be more than happy to meet with her and discuss the cards. You meet at the lady's house on a Saturday afternoon. After appropriate introductions, you walk over to the dining room table and your jaw drops to the floor when you see a ??? in mint condition.

What is the ???, real or imagined?

I have 2... I purchased a lot of 180 t206s for $2000 in 2009. inside i was surprised to see 3 blank back southern leaguers and a red hindu. thats probably my best "find"...

The 2nd great find I had was while searching for pictures online of ghost images... I came to find a t206 ghost image... which I clicked on and took me to a link of the card for sale on sportsmemorbilia.com .....there is was.. a ghost image listed for sale in the strangest of all places.. I called up figuring it was an old picture and had been sold... but they told me it was still for sale... and I purchased it.

Sounded like a Penthouse forum I once read, except for the baseball card part that is : )

In 1979 I picked up 2 scrap books full of N 172 and N 173 cards plus a 3rd bound scrap book full of non sport N cards. My favorite piece was a schedule from the 1888 Boston Nationals, although it's value is/was a fraction of the value of the cards!
In the mid 1980's through a relative I was introduced to a couple that sold me a large holding of 1952 Topps loaded with mint high numbers. Also in the group were a hundred or so crisp mint 1953 Bowman Color cards.
Recently, my Aunt sold me a bunch of 1980's factory sets! I felt obligated to buy them considering she led me to the above 50's find!
I wish I had a video of the 1880's scrap books!
Happy Holidays,
