Almost Found Something Cool in a Small NJ Shop

The five minutes he spent looking them up makes me think he had no idea what they were, other than strip cards. That and the fact most people don't just keep a random pile of "$1550 worth of cards" off to the side.

It's odd that he was able to find them in Beckett if he didn't know what they were.

It's entirely possible he didn't find the exact cards, but he knew they were strip cards, so that kind of cuts down the search a lot. There aren't that many strip cards and they are all in one section with a sample picture you can use as a guide. Not remembering the commons, there may have been one in the set that isn't in others and he was able to find it by process of elimination.

It took him five minutes like I said, so it wasn't like he opened the book to a page and said ah ha like it was in a movie script to cut down on time.

Not that odd. I have had a few HOF strip cards for a very long time. Years back I looked them up in my 2007 SCD. I put a post-it on the toploader so I will know the ACC designation. But, I couldn't tell you off the top of my head what that exact designation is unless I pull them out and look at it.

I did the same thing with mine.

I didn't think it was odd at all actually. Five minutes was fine with me, I looked through other cards to kill time.

It was Alex (Smokes 4) who used the term "odd". I should have quoted him It would take me more than five minutes to find the cards I mentioned

Paul - I never would have been able to find a strip card that fast with Beckett alone. I remember it taking me at lest an hour on the web about 10 years ago.
