Default I got a big announcement!

A friend on mine who I use to sell to, has sold his million dollar collection to someone I know. It has all kinds of stuff! Non Sports Cigarette Cards, T206's, and everything here that makes you drool. There are literally a couple thousand boxes of stuff. Toys, Signed balls, collectibles, books, almost everything.

Slowly but surely, the new owner is beginning to find stuff I want. And I get first grab. My last post was only a small part of which I picked up last week. There was a nr-mt set of Gomer Pyle and McHales Navy, besides the Zeenuts, Strip cards, etc.

Today I was trying to pick up a nr-mt. set of Mars Attacks. He wanted too much. Bummer. But he claims to have 3 more sets.

The big news is that he has over 1000 T206's! And I've seem them before. You know that's what I want to drop a ton of money on. If he would only hurry up and find them!!!

Anyway, my goal is to sell what I pick up to make a quick buck. If I buy anything substantial, I'll ask Leon if I can post here instead BST.

Today was slim pickings. I got one T205, one T206, a E91, and one I'm trying to find out what it is. Oh yeah, almost forgot. The guy that sold the stuff, and the guy that bought the stuff don't know crap! I'm expecting to find rare backs, etc.

That is how this hobby works. You don't make money selling cards, you make money buying them as cheap as possible.

Talking about selling is usually fine on the front page. Selling stuff on the front page, not so much...Good luck.

The owner is smart enough to check eBay, etc. before selling to me. For those who think I'm going to take advantage of him, your wrong. He owns a business that deals with collectibles.

I'm confused as to the objective of this thread.

Are you sharing this information so people can send you requests to look for? Or are you sharing this information to declare that you are taking advantage of a seller and getting a steal of a deal?

... from a buyer who is either stupid as a tree stump and doesn't know crap or alternatively is very smart and business savvy. All facsinating. And exciting.

I'm trying to make sense of this as well. Here's how I would paraphrase:

Some dude amassed a million dollar collection, and another dude bought this million dollar collection, but surprisingly, neither buyer nor seller "knows crap." The OP, whose knowledge of cards must surpass that of buyer or seller, sees an arbitrage opportunity and is so excited about said opportunity, he must preemptively announce it to fellow collectors. Half of said collectors are confused or otherwise put off by this announcement; the other half are salivating for the chance at some exciting pick-ups.

Just realized upon a careful re-reading that the guy who sold the stuff AND the guy who bought the stuff BOTH don't know crap. If the attempted buyer from the guy who doesn't know crap likewise doesn't know crap this could get really crazy in a hurry.

Awaiting an update. Presumably it shouldn't take too many more days for the buyer who doesn't know crap (well, knows a lot about somethings) to locate the horde of 1000s of T206s he just bought.

Well said. Part of the confusion for me at least, is if said million-dollar-collection is indeed real AND worth a million dollars, why in the world would someone with that kind of money throw it away without any sort of knowledge on the subject matter he/she is purchasing?

I'm going to pop some popcorn in case it does get crazy, which is presumably looks like it will. I mean how do you have thousands of T206s and not know where they are in the collection you recently purchased? I understand those cards are smaller, but in this mass quantity they could suffocate someone.

Probably would have been the smartest move, unless there was 100k in unknown t206 rare backs

I'd be keen to know more information about the Zeenuts that was in this gentleman's collection.

Do you happen to have any scans to share?

The Zeenuts were sold to Marckus99. 12-1914 and 3-1915. Mostly beaters.

I apppreciate all the emails. But I want to remind everyone to be patient like I have been. "Slowly but surely, the new owner is beginning to find stuff I want."
You can email requests, and I'll look through the emails when I pick up stuff. As I sell stuff, I'll try to get the buyers to post.

Default I dream of prewar baseball card piles like this

My guess is that the collection is in this kind of disarray:

Awaiting an update. Presumably it shouldn't take too many more days for the buyer who doesn't know crap (well, knows a lot about somethings) to locate the horde of 1000s of T206s he just bought.
OK, this is hilarious. This whole thread is classic. OP appears to be "baiting" the waters, and several fish have swallowed the hook.

IMO, I think you should revise your post to:

I'm writing down the positive persons. When stuff becomes available, you will be the first I call.

Sounds so much better doesn't it?

If you look at my statistics page you'll see I've been a member since 2009. I'd done 763 posts. Why do you think I would BS people here now? I'm hoping that by Saturday, I should have something really, really nice to put up in the BST. If you read my original post, it says "Slowly by surely..."

The Zeenuts were sold already, and they arrived at the buyer house today. He said he would post here letting everyone know he got them.

Please, I'm not a dealer. I'm a collector. I'm not like most dealers and charge ridiculous amounts for my stuff. I just want to make a buck or two.

I know that there is all kinds of cards in this collection. Possible Old Judge, Allen & Ginter, etc. Like I said, I know the seller of the collection.

If you don't believe me, you would be wise to wait and see. If I don't produce, Leon can ax my account.
