You are right - poor word choice. Grade potential 6's or better?

That's what I meant. Not the grade 'good'.

Thanks for all the information. Everyone here as been very helpful so far. I spent a more hours last night just getting my head wrapped around what is there and thinking about how I should store everything. Currently everything is in old boxes that were homemade to be like the 3k card boxes that are out there today but with too much wiggle room. Hardly anything is sleeved or in hard cases and a most of the set are in old 800 count boxes that fold in and can damage the cards. Time to go to the local store and get some supplies...



Still looking for a recommendation for a cheap scanner. Any ideas?

As I find interesting stuff I'll throw it up here. Found some uncut 65 Kahn's cards 3 are in really good shape.IMG_1729.jpg

Those are auction-worthy with a good AH like Love of the Game.

Yes, definitely. Insist to the auction house to offer those four Kahn's Reds individually, to maximize your return. Any regional type card collector would love to own one of those! Terrific display pieces. ---Brian Powell

Here's a previous thread on scanners. The key is getting one with a CCD element.

Many members, including me use the Canoscan 9000f mark ii but it is over $150. The one Luke mentions in the thread above is the Epson v33 and can be found used on ebay. Here is one:
