Pinch me I’m dreaming

Photo flipper to the rescue!

And don't send them to the landfill...at least donate what isn't taken to a thrift store, and some baseball nut will have a field day.

I don't see anything of high value here. Not knocking the collection, it's certainly a fun hoard to discover, but if you're strategizing on what to do with them, I would just send the majority to Greg Morris. He will almost certainly net you the most. He grades them as well, and often gets as good or better than what they'd get if already graded by PSA anyhow. These are right in his wheelhouse.

Thanks for the photo flip assist and helping ‘turn things around’ for this family . Anything remaining will go to Savers or GW.

Wow everyone thanks for sharing love stores like that.

Love it when the family is passing it forward and taking care of rescue dogs and give the commons to kids

Thanks very much for those who have PM’d with interest. The family is parsing out the books per requests and once complete, I’ll coordinate back with those who have PM’d on address to ship to, and plan support of shipping costs (pmt to be sent to the family directly) once shipped and costs are known. Hang tight more to come. Thank you.

I had one of those calls that didn't go quite how I envisioned. They call me because a mutual friend knows I am in to baseball cards. I meet with the widow (85ish), and she describes things and mentions there is a full set of garbage pail kids in there. I think, well that is an interesting sidelight we'll see what else. Turns out there is not a single sports card at all, just the GPK (it was a complete set, kind of interesting) and some 90's Marvel. I helped them sell, but I had visions of a stack of 52 Mantles!

Cool find, Brunswick...

Posted before but.............This is from around 20 yrs ago. A nice find it was...cut and pasted.
My first buy from this ebayer (with a -1 feedback) was the E90-2 Wags for 1k.....


I traded the Johnson in a monumental trade deal.....and kept only the Marsans...I believe there might only be 3-4 known Marsans Texas Tommys.....


Jeff- Through an ebay deal, and then many subsequent private deals, I got the following cards from a somewhat illiterate trucker in Northern CA.....I coined it "the trucker boy" find as that is what he did for a living...there's more to the story but only over beers at the National.....here's the story...................this was around late '03- and early '04
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

aw...what the heck: ...cut and pasted from the original thread:

I believe I have seen the last small group of inherited cards from the gentleman in Northern California. It was a very informative situation
in that I got to see a nice PCL collection untainted by modern collectors/dealers. It looks like almost all of the cards have been put into a scrapbook at one time as a majority exhibit strong corners and
back damage, though many backs were spared too....... It was neat to see how they were really collected and in what type of numbers, relative to each other. I believe the only cards I missed out on were all 159 of the Colgans, Red Borders, and Tin Tops (if any), and about 5-7 M101-1/2's....Nothing I could do...they just got sold.......The total for all of the cards I got was about 732'ish. I will probably only sell these through ebay or to a large auction house. I am keeping everything I have an interest in, as utmost and foremost, I am still a collector. Including what I had posted before the grand total breakout is/was (several cards have been sold already to happy board/ebay members):
