Quote from one of the original buyers of the Southern Find:
"There were 5 of us that bought the original Southern find. We paid 6K back in 1988 or 1989. There were over 900 T206, 50 Turkey Reds, and a bunch of Mecca non-baseball cards. In addition, there were a bunch of coupons that were used to redeem for Turkey Reds. Most of the find was sold to Marco Rol of Southern Cards. I kept my share and sold off pieces over time. I took the Turkey Red Cy Young to the Chicago National around 1989 or 1990. There was a dentist from Florida that kept looking at the Young. He told me that I was overpriced. I told him I was firm on the price (I forgot the price, but I am thinking it was around $1800). Anyhow, he grabbed Bill Hughes of Executive Investments to look at my T3 Young. Bill told him that if he didn't buy it, he would. The dentist whipped out a bunch of AMEX travel checks and paid me."
