What's in your grandmother's attic?

[barrysloate]

Here's a true story: about ten years ago I was consigned a collection of primarily T204, T205, and T206's. Apparently the man bought an old house in upstate NY, I think near Buffalo, and while cleaning out the attic he found several hundred tobacco cards left by the previous owner. Some of the Ramlys were really high grade- I know a few hit SGC 84 and 86, and the collection ultimately sold in the tens of thousands of dollars. As it turned out, the consignor recouped nearly half the money he paid for the house from these. And they were all free! That is really amazing.
