Here's a "find" - T3 Turkey Reds
Hello,
I think this can be labeled as a find for 2011.
Before having most of the cards graded and before selling any, I scanned each and every one of the cards with the idea that I was going to create a book to preserve and document their original state and create some level of provenance.
I ended up going to Walmart.com and creating a beautiful photo book measuring 12 X 12, bound with black leather covers. Each card is full-size, full color on glossy paper with a black background. I created an intro page with a brief history of the cards and specific mention of the prior owners and how the group was passed down through the years. I also labled each card underneath with full name and nickname - Frank "Piano Mover" Smith for example, as well as a note if they were HOFers and their year of induction.
I made two copies for the seller's two adult sons and also kept a copy for myself. I know there are other places to get this type of thing done, but I was able to do it easily, quicky, relatively cheaply and with beautiful results. I would absolutely recommend that anyone who comes across any type of "find" do the same thing. You'll be glad you did.
Happy New Year and Happy Collecting,
Craig
