My Mother, of all people, found a stack of old cards wrapped with a fragile rubber band at an old guy's estate sale a couple years ago. She 'took a chance' on the cards for $1. Upon showing me her purchase the next day, I was shocked and began drooling. Unfortunately they weren't baseball, but instead T80 Tolstoi Military series tobacco cards (there's an image of one in the upper right hand corner of Net54 advertising the non-sport forum).....there was 90 of them and they are beautiful!! They have the same gold boarders as T205's and luckily there were enough of them to complete the 50 card set which I have on PSA's set registry....the only one. Most of the cards graded were in the 5-7 range with a couple 8's. My Mother made a deal with me up front that any proceeds down the road would have to be split with her......and I'm ok with that, but for now I'm just enjoying the cards..........Matt
