I never thought that the incomplete auction preview I stumbled upon online and asked the board about would become the greatest find of all time. I've got a strong feeling that the user "mountaingirl" who later PM'd me with information might be one of the family of sellers.

Thanks Barry. I haven't actually "retired"...I just don't work.

It is exciting to me for a find like this to be so local.

For what its worth, I absolutely believe these cards are real.

I live 20 minutes away from the town they found these in and work for the family that owns these cards (Hench). They have money, they own a grocery store chain here in NW Ohio.

They have no reason to try to get rich quick, unlike the Cincinnati guys trying to get rich off that fake Wagner.

Just my two cents

What kind of impact does a find like this have on the prices of lower grade cards from the set?
