Epic Pre-War Find

[Joshwesley]

There’s a house in town that my mother in law cleans.
It’s for an elderly lady that lives in the house that she grew up in.

The lady living in it, She’s in her late 70’s.

The ladies parents grew up in the same house.

3 generations of hoarders.... they won’t go through anything.

I’m telling you there’s a Wagner at that house... I’ve said it for years.

There’s an attic and a basement full of boxes that haven’t been touched for 100 years or longer

I know, cool story lol

It drives me nuts.

Great find here... congrats those people !

I'm most excited that most of the cards were well loved and not PSA 9's and 10's. This guy loved playing around with his favorite players.

I guess he was just another Ruth-Hater.

I would be tempted to offer something to let you take a look in those boxes. Maybe offer to cover the cleaning costs for a month and help her sell the cards if you find anything of value.

That’s a good idea and I wish it was only that easy...

They won’t let anything be thrown away... have EXTREME wealth and live in a 100 plus year old house buckets collecting water from the leaky roof.
Original refrigerator still in operation etc. it’s cool, but also pretty weird.

I would be shocked if there aren’t cards in that house.

Anyone else think this is related to the guy who posted here a few weeks ago about the estate collection of cards that were going to be major? Hmmm.

I don't doubt that if it was that easy you would have tried already. Sounds like a very eccentric family.

That’s putting it VERY nicely 😂😂🤣

Things change and who knows what tomorrow will bring.....

I’m keeping my eye on the situation

Maybe just ask straight up? You'd be surprised. If your mother in law cleans there it's not like you're some random weirdo. You wouldn't be throwing anything away, you'd be saving and preserving it. Give it a try!

I’m not even supposed to have ever stepped foot inside the house (if you
Catch my drift)?

They are super private... no one is supposed to know the conditions they live in etc.

They are getting up there in age and I’ll be monitoring the situation.

My MIL has worked for them for over 30 years (before my wife was born)

No telling what she might be left with (or nothing at all)

Who knows?

The Goudeys look like they are in great shape.
