There are 2 nearby Hotels in Oaks, PA. The Hampton Inn and the Hilton. Danny expected me to book us into the Hilton. However, I booked us into the Hampton.

The check-in lady (Nancy), whose husband's collection we bought worked at the Hampton. Had I booked us at the Hilton, there would NOT be a story to tell you.

You said it best, ole buddy.... "I must be a good luck charm"

Sometimes, coincidences like these are the best ones. It's very funny how life works that way, Ted.

Ted,

Wish I was able to make it. Things unfortunately came up, such is life sometimes, as I'm sure you know. I'm hoping to make the one in December, assuming your there. If not I'm sure there is another show we may cross paths at! Hope you and the rest of your family has been doing well, my friend.

Great story, Ted. Thanks for sharing.

Dan, that picture of cards on the table, with those tall stacks, that reminds me of old collecting, I love it! Nary a slab in sight.

That's a feel good story for the day.

Congratulations Ted & Dan. Wonderful story. Gives us all hope that we will stumble across a similar find.

Best regards,

Joe

Wow awesome to see!

Any idea, based on the cards included and their condition, what the approximate value of this haul might be? Just as is, not talking about potentially grading certain items. Is this a $25K+ stack? I know the cards pretty well but would honestly have trouble valuing them so as to make an offer.

Hi Frank

Dan and I were like two "kids in a candy store".

The last time I had a T206 find that had provenance like this one was 14 years ago from a small town in North Carolina (400+ PIEDMONT cards).
