I go sleep for an hour, take a shower and go back to front at 2:30 and talk to lady at front about the show. She tells me she has a bunch of her Grandpa's cards from way back, I'm like jackpot! and tell her I was interested in buying them. I was figuring she was in her late 40's and assumed her Grandpa's cards would be from 30's and 40's. Before I left for the show I handed her $100 bill for letting me check in early and having the chance to buy her cards and left her my business card with cell # on back. I get up Sat A.M. run to the show real quick and pick up a 48' Leaf PSA 4 Jackie then leave for home. I knew this lady worked the following Tuesday so I waiting to call BW then. She said she didn't have the motivation to dig them out of the attic, I said "cash is a motivator". She said "give me until the weekend. I waited and didn't here back, I said to myself, F it, this is a chance of a lifetime and decided I was going to drive back on Friday of that week (I knew she worked Fri) with $1,000 for starters. Drove straight through again, walked into BW lobby and she recognized me right away. She said, "did you get my pics text"? I say "No". She says she texted them to ...and she rattled off my work #. Told her that's why I didn't get, cell # on back!!! She says "the cards aren't as old as I thought", I literally shit myself. She shows me the pics she sent......1987 Topps!! FML. I get a room, sleep for three hours and head back home feeling like a complete tool.

Unfortunate you filled your pants, but at least she had toilet paper for you.
