OMG! Wow, what a find. I wonder how many other cards are in this "Find???"

That's only part of the story.

An entire pristine E98 set was discovered. I think there was a PSA 9 Cobb in that set if I'm not mistaken.

This find has set the bar high, unreasonably high for those trying to build a high quality set. There were/are three cards from this find for sale on eBay. Two PSA 8s and a PSA 9(O/C).

I picked up this one up of the Black Swamp find! Very nice hate the way PSA put it in the holder though.

This is the card collector's dream. Great thread, thanks to the family members who joined in, and to Leon for hosting us all!

WOW!

Two questions for the board.

1. At some point in time, will all the finds be found? Will there ever be a time when every pre-war card is accounted for?

2. Will this spark interest (and an increase in value) in the other E-card series?

no, they will never all be found, because they are still pulling superman comics #1 from in between the walls, and isn't that the way a ty cobb tin was found too?

It's one of those things that if it sells great and if it doesn't sell great. Like I mentioned in a previous post my wife thinks I have to many "toys" or cards in my case and makes me sell a few when I buy some. My problem is I love buying the cards. lol.

Is a find a find before its found?
I think not, the logic's sound.
In the past, finds were found.
No one knows what's underground.

Future finds are speculation
If unfound, more consternation
If uncovered, jubilation
Risk, reward or humiliation

A searcher's quest may stay behind
without a clue of any kind.
You'll never know, not in your mind,
'cause it must be found to be a find.

Nice!!! I had my eye on that one also but decided to leave it. Dropped a load on one of my non-baseball collecting interests instead. I think there are two remaining on eBay from the BSF.

So I guess you have me to thank.

I see your flipping it.

I'd buy it if I hadn't already bought that C55 Vezina from last week.

Yeah I keep debating on selling it or keeping it. My problem is I always find "another" card I want too so my wife makes me sell some so I can get more. Oh the pains of marriage. lol. It is a beauty of a card though. And thank you for letting me get it

Good luck on the sale of the Dahlen. It is truly a beautiful card. I've noticed, though, that there have been several Black Swamp cards on ebay, month after month, which have never sold. I think some of the luster has gone off the Find and it has become incredibly hard to flip these cards, given the amounts sunk in them....
