Very nice Matt, that is excellent !!! Congrats, that was fun reading about your find. I too (probably all of us) dream of having a find such as this. I can imagine the suprise you had opening it and seeing cards !!!!

Thanks for sharing that story. Awesome.

Sincerely, Clayton

I love that set. I strictly only collect baseball, but if I was to put together a NS set, that would be it. The artwork is gorgeous. Great find!

Yeah, I'd tolerate a little extra mother in law nagging for a score like that

Funny. The cards aren't technically all mine, yet. I think my Father-in-law may be somewhat attached to them as his uncle Jim was like a father to him....and my Mother-in-law kind of changed her tune after hearing they have some value. Time will tell. They're good people and they can make the decision. I think I was as happy to find them as I would be in owning them. Honestly, the monetary value doesn't really matter to me. I really just wanted to get them home, inventory them and get them in some holders. I wouldn't have plans to get them graded, as I prefer them 'raw' in this condition. Minus the Hitler cards, I figured the majority of the rest of them are valued in the $5-8 range each on average after seeing some auction results for complete sets in similar grade via REA and Legendary. Just my opinion.

If the cards are in nice condition, I would get them graded before selling, especially the Hitler cards. I had a couple of hundred of these cards years ago before grading. There was and still is high demand for the cards.
