There is absolutely nothing like making a fresh discovery (even though you knew about these for some time). One of the few things in life that really gets the juices flowing.

Great tale Dan. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Especially nice that you and your dad participated in it together.

Holy crap those are nice. I love digging around a old house only to open a box and discover something that has been hidden for years.

I really really really am extrememyl jealous of both the amazing cards but also of the insance rush you must of hand when you saw and handled these cards.

Amazing stuff and thanks for the post.
