A couple of errors to look for and a Chipper Jones rookie. Looks like the majority of errors were never corrected. |
These were already opened, and I assume were purchased in packs rather than boxes or complete sets.
I went through them and seen no notables nor any Mickey's, unfortunately.

Had some other junk out too also at what I thought were pretty high prices. Got there later than opening the day of the sale and asked mom why she hadn't put the cards out. They sold in under 10 minutes for whatever I had them marked at. A very pleasant surprise.

I assume those who bought them, like me, didn't know much about them?
My neighbor, who I also work with, said he paid a $1000 for a big pile of baseball cards he got off his brother in law, who paid $500 for them 10 yrs ago. I asked from what years they were and he stated early 90's.
I politely told him he likely way over paid for them as most are considered junk wax due to there being a ton of them of out there. He shrugged his shoulders and said $1000.00 is hardly anything anymore!
I let it ride and didn't say anything more but thought to myself, it must be nice not to think a $1000 isn't a lot of money.
