Now this is what the hobby is all about: the time-consuming, arduous hunt and then finding items you are truly passionate about! Major congratulations are in order!

I would go get a six-pack of the best beer I could find, then sort through them about 20 times...too cool!

Take Care,
Geno

most of my flea market and box finds are sore feet and paper-cuts. I'd be looking and sorting - and then do it all over again. :-)

Great find. Man how did you play it cool when negotiating for those. Mixed in with junk he probably did not even know what they were. That find would be very exciting.

Nothing like a "find" to set the heart a' pumpin'! CONGRATS!

The fun of going thru them, sorting, then inspecting for anomalies is worth the price alone, aside from any card value itself!

I'm still inspecting the 136 card "find" I came across 4 yrs ago!

The Flea Markets I attend seem to specialize in overpriced 1988 Donruss. Congrats on the find of a lifetime.

Thanks for all the kind responses. Turner and I are currently sorting the cards. It really is a task, scanning, sorting, keeping the backs and fronts straight for scans etc... but it is fun.

Most of the cards range in the SGC 10 - 30 range. Will post more later.

Thanks for all the PM's as well.

Thanks,

Matt E.

In the immortal words of Jeff Spicoli, "awesome! Totally awesome!"

I am so happy for you, Matt! If it were me that found them, I don't think I could have contained my sheer delight. I'm afraid I don't have much of a poker face.

Do you have a favorite card (or three) thus far?
