That's amazing congrats! The condition on those 62's is incredible. Glad you brought a pocket full of money

Were those 1991 Topps boxes wrapped in Cello?

Kansas City in a tiny little half of a duplex in an area of town close to the part of town that I don't go to at night.

Lol, When I worked down there laying brick in the mid 90's that was most of Raytown. The job site had armed guards 24/7 and a friend got robbed at gun point leaving work.

Rest of Day One Haul

Got these balls on day 1





Maybe '74 on the Cardinals ball? Still cool for $25, even though it is stamped obv

[RobDerhak]

Day #2

Can't pass up a non tattered <$10 Goudey (25% off today remember)...not sure how I missed the DS Mack on day 1



$3 each below















Can't believe I missed the Gaylord rookie on day 1...it has some color spotting on it though



These were in a snap case with 50 or so other '91 UD for $1.50...all KC guys in some way

Nice haul. When I wholesale buy at a show from a table I price my purchase offers at $5-$10 per superstar, $1-$3 per star, and nothing for the commons, so judging from the # of Mantle, Koufax, Musial, Clemente, etc. and the condition shown you did really well. Essentially you made a wholesale buy and didn't have to eat the commons. The real question is how much will you keep? My weakness as a dealer is that I cant bring myself to sell the good stuff.

I'm a total HOARDER! I may sell some of the dupes...may try to make some trades to complete my set needs (55, 58 & 59 for now), and I think I just started a '63 set since I grabbed a chunk of the stars on the cheap
