Just got the story by email:
"Back in the late 80's my dad who was a surveyor was doing some work for a guy on an estate. The man who died was in his late 90's and only had power put in his home about 5 years before he died. Every one assumed the man was dirt poor, he was also a hoarder, with magazines stacked to the ceiling in several rooms in his old two story home. When the man who inherited the estate (his nephew I believe) went to clean the house out he found these cards. He knew I was a collector and offered them to my dad. He said let me let my son look at the cards and tell you what they are worth, I did and when my dad told him he said he didn't care just give him ______. He then told my dad he had found old stock certificates and cash hidden all over the house and the value was already in excess of 5 million dollars so the cards should go to someone who would appreciate them. Thats how I ended up with them." I just started organizing all of the scans and there are more T206 P460 Factory 42's than I thought too! Cobb Red Leach Hands on Knees Wiltse Portrait Cap McQuillan Batting Murphy Batting Willis Holding Bat Wagner Bat Right Shoulder Willets Chase Trophy Joss Pitching Jennings Hands in Air Condition is all over the place with these, from P to EX. Updates coming as I have them... |
