April Antiques Roadshow Card find
 

This may have been covered, but an April episode of Antiques Roadshow featured a collection of T206 and E95 cards found in an abandoned house that a couple bid on (bid included contents) and this is what they found.

Finds
 

My finds tend to be comprised of 1987 Topps and 1989 Donruss…

Thanks for sharing! I enjoy these type of finds/stories!

Wallpaper....
 

You are in luck then, it appears that what was not noted was that the actual wallpaper in this abandoned house was comprised of 1987 Topps and 1989 Donruss! :cool:

At least your lucky to have finds.

Very interesting by a house for $16k and find cards worth up to 60k

That is a great investment

Is it just me? They look fake.

Love these finds!

Anybody notice that on the top of one of the stacks what appeared to be a nice Cy Young portrait. If graded it could be a 10K card if sold in the present marketplace.

That e95 Cobb looks hand cut on the left -- is that common?

neat find, thanks for sharing!

$16k for a house in '83 is like what $100k today with inflation? Can't imagine the cards were worth more than a couple grand back then.

side note - I'm sure it was only for a short time, but I'd never display my cards outside let alone facing directly up at the sky. Eek!
