Can't wait to hear it. They don't look pack-pulled, but if all 10K cards turn out to be fresh though handled by a succession of owners, might this not be the greatest "find" ever? And if they aren't, who went about collecting so many multiples at a time in the hobby when that wasn't so easy to do, and why? In any case, there has to be a good story here.

I was thinking the same thing! Perhaps the original owner was one of those boys looking for the “baseball men” back in 1910 and stored them away; any 10 yr old would have. Then he simply handed them down a couple generations until someone realized the value.
Only a 10 yr old would want every Cobb, Johnson, and Young he could get his hands on…superstars of the day. I doubt very much a serious smoker in 1910 was holding onto these cards… I hope the family is keeping a small set as tribute to the hard work and love put into the collection before cashing in. At least thats what the romantic in me wants to think… Quote:

The word attic will have to show up somewhere. I will bet on it. Couldn't have possibly had them in a safe deposit box or bank vault. Has to be an attic, preferably a farm house, preferably in the midwest somewhere. Probably buried under other stuff for last 50 years. Has to be a story, real or created.

How the hell did those cards survive in such good shape, in hot, humid Florida,
in a "barn," no less. Amazing. |

Is this a find or just one of many ungraded collections? Seems like everything not in a slab is a find these days.

It's definitely a find of over 10,000 ungraded cards.
