I won't even tell you how many he had in "pack fresh" condition.

When he first learned they had become valuable ... he called his mom. You all know the story of what had become of them.

Heck my grandfather had a shop in westchestor new york and sold those cards...i keep hearing how he has unopened stuff from 1952-55 that my mom inherited along with business related furniture and the like and she keeps delaying going to the storage when items were put there in the mid 1980s. We planning going there for the holidays..if find anything will let you know but assume nothing of value remains though she recognized the design of those cards from putting them in her bicycle etc...
