Found this on another forum. A big collection gets dropped off at the local card shop.

Angie responded, "Now if only you could make me say that "

The phrases "obviously knew what he was doing" and "placing rubber bands around them" seem mispaired.

Look forward to seeing them as well. Don't really care about the written words just the card beauty.

This shop owner must only deal with new stuff, like most shop owners now days. To maximize profits why would you send vintage cards to Beckett? Also who would call '33 Goudey's as a "rare brand of card"? Then to top it off he can't distinguish between a 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jack, instead lumps them as one grouping (or at least that is how I read that part since they don't distinguish what year the Jackson is from).

So are commas

"Lets eat Dad"

"Lets eat, Dad"

If T3 Turkey Reds are from 1922, he doesn't know about PSA or SGC and thinks that Babe Ruth didn't have any cards made before 1933, what are the chances of a/some rare cards being in the find that he doesn't know about?

I mean, if the guy is using a Beckett price guide and an obscure card or rare back T card isn't listed then this guy probably isn't going to know anything about it.......

"Among a large number of 1941 Play Balls cards are the Yankees’ DiMaggio, along with ‘Lefty’ Gomez, Mel Ott, Hubbell and Ted Williams. “I have 15 complete sets here,” Fletcher said."

15 complete sets? I bet Legendary would sell them as one lot.

I think the bigger question is "who the hell puts together 15 of the same set?"

I think that when he said 15 sets, he wasn't referring just to the Playball set, but all the sets together...
