Nothing special, a few years ago I went through and got rid of a few 100K junk wax cards by burning them. Anyway I ended up burning some 1990 Donruss Aqueous Test cards. I never looked at the card backs.

Does anyone think a large collection of Curtis Ireland E123 will ever surface?

I have told this story before but back in the early 1990's, I went to a large collector's show looking for sports items. One dealer from St. Louis had a lot of sports items displayed. Then in a showcase were a stack of baseball cards.
The stack consisted of American Caramel and Curtis Ireland Candy cards. There were at least 20 Curtis Ireland cards including a Ty Cobb with black construction paper on the back. The dealer was asking $1300 for the stack and he wouldn't sell any cards individually. Being a college student, I didn't have $1300 so I called my friend Ted Koch and he came to the show and bought the stack for $1000 cash. He gave me a Curtis Ireland card as a finders fee. He kept the cards for some years before consigning them to Lew Lipset around 2002. If anyone has a catalog from that auction, I would really like to see how many Curtis Ireland cards there were.
