Sounds like a craig's list special to me...Leon. Probably multitudes of sets and cards from the mid 80's -present with some vintage 1970's commons thrown in!!!! |

I told my friend the same thing. It's only an hour of time so no big deal. Honestly, I am hoping for some good 50's stuff that could be valuable.....but my guess is just like yours.... |

I agree it's probably "old" as in 1987 Donruss commons. |

I say we offer 25K. If my math is right, that works out to a nickel a card. I think that's fair given the risk factor. |

Actually it seems like Leon has a pretty soft job, he has us running the forum while he goes running off to check out some old cards. Sounds pretty cushy to me. |

i HAVE been picking up larger lots from Craigslist recently (over 350 thousand cards for 600 dollars total between 3 lots). While a BUNCH of the lots ARE 90 topps 91 fleer and donruss, there have been some nice/choice cards some nice autographs - a lot of these "lots" get to be so monsterous people just want to get rid of them, and if they didn't pick out every card worth over a dollar 10 years ago, they probably didn't take the time to do the same right now - |

Last night I looked at a grouping of 40-50 thousand cards. The guy wanted $5k for beat up dirty 1990's commons that had been stored in an old shed. He had a couple of dozen 50's and 60's commons that were in poor condition. The whole works wasn't worth more than 50 bucks. Oh well, next time I will hit the jackpot! |

It was 50,000 and not 500,000 to start with...and my guess would be closer to 10,000.....The guy was real nice and was about 35 yrs old and collected them as a kid....Do I really need to go any further? Lots of mid 70's up through the 90's....I think I did see a few 60's cards but not many. I gotta tell you when someone isn't in the hobby and doesn't know what's going on it's sort of heart breaking to let them know the reality of the value. They think they have a gold mine and you have to tell them their mine is empty...or almost empty. I would guesstimate they had about $1000 of cards....there were a few nice 70's rookie HOF cards....Oh well...maybe the Kbats, Fans Cigs, and D355's on the next run.....They are very nice folks and I was glad I could help a little bit. I told them to sort them (they were in big boxes in very unorganized piles and worse) and then take out the HOF'ers and sell the rest on ebay by year...... |

I was referred to an old woman recently who I was told had some signed Mickey Mantle balls...sounded good to me. She lived a block away and when I went over she pulled out of an envelope a picture of Mickey Mantle torn from a magazine with what looked like a facsimile signature. She needed the money and I didn't know what to tell her. I know the feeling. |

Off the subject just a bit -- I'm curious, did anyone pick up the N173s that showed up on Craigslist last week? Too far away and too dubious for me -- I'm a lurker! not a real buyer. But I'm very, very curious if they were real. One seemed too good to be true, but hope springs eternal. |

Jay, Craigslist is free classified advertising for your local area....I had never heard of it until about 3-4 months ago and I advertised that I was looking for a rare Homer The Haymarket Hound bobblehead and I got a call within one hour of my listing. I have tried advertising looking for older Lincoln baseball memorabilia with no luck at all....I did however get an email from the son of a former Lincoln Chief player who was looking for info on his dad....he had nothing to sell though. |

I recently responded to a Craigslist ad for old baseball cards. The guy had more than 15 boxes of late '80s and up. Claimed "book value" is over $50,000, but would let it all go for $5000. I kid you not, if he offered me $20 to take 'em, I'd pass as I wouldn't want to deal with the hassle of hauling all that trash. |
