reminds me of a story that happened when the card boom happened in the late 80's early 90's

There was a little chinese store in the town i lived in, and when the boom hit, he decided to pull out all the old unopened cards he had in storage, that never sold over the years. He sold them for face value. So guys were buying early 80's OPC hockey cards for 25 cents per pack and such. By the time i heard, someone had bought them all, i went in and asked the guy and he told me one guy bought the 30 cases or so he had. Sigh.. right place, wrong time...

Baseball cards weren't as popular here, but i still collected them cause there was no hockey cards to collect during the off season.

BTW Glacier national park is a nice drive.... it has gotten kinda touristy now but still nice!
