Better than Wal-mart stock.

I purchased a box of 1960's cards in 1978 for $20. It contained about 100 1960 topps, 400 1961 topps, 600+ 1962 topps, 100 1963 topps, and 50 or so fleer all-time greats....the lot was not cherry picked, totally raw and in untouched condition. There were 6 1961 Mantles(#300), 3 1962's(#200), and 2 of each from 1960 & 1963, not to mention the numerous all-star, combo, and league leader cards. I still have every card from that purchase. I was eight years old and bought these cards from a 50 year friend of my father's.
