Sweet cards. I usually find 1988 Topps or beat up 1970's commons when
I go flea markets or garage sales. lol

Realistically, there can't possibly be many of these finds left. For decades now, even people who don't follow card collecting one thousandth as much as those here, would have brought an old shoebox full of cards to an auction house or card store. It has been known for some time that old cards can be very valuable, and local news channels have reported on these finds for years. So there is likely on a very small number of card treasures that haven't been uncovered yet. That said, any such find must be exciting, even life-changing, for those involved.

Not so much value, but I was given a bunch of items from a person recently that preserved his baseball story that I wanted to keep alive after his passing. Much of it was 70+ years old. I think items will still be found, and uncovered in different ways.
I do know he had some very expensive or wanted items from collectors his family is still in possession of. Most from teammates of his or friends from the majors. He played in the 40s and 50s. Last edited by Vintage Vern; 03-02-2025 at 07:19 AM.

The cards are amazing! That said, can anyone say a single card in that find will grade an 8? I say this not to take anything away from the spectacular nature of this find. Rather, I mention it to pose the question where all those 8s and 9s we constantly see turning up in auctions and card shows came from, except other than the cutting board of a card doctor?

Could these be reprints? They look too good and square?
