(The cards in) Davy Jones' Locker

[Archive]

Posted By: Bill Cornell

Of all the bizarre places cards have gone and wound up back on eBay, this ranks close to the top: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5139898223.

T205s of Cobb, Johnson, Clarke, McGraw, Suggs (a real toughie), Tinker and a bunch of cards not worth salvaging. Perhaps just as weird, the owner consigned this trunk - it can't be worth all that much more than the $99 starting price.

Someone is going to win this "treasure trove"; how they attempt to get the cards out of the locker would be worth hearing.

looks like someone attempted to get a card off.(and failed)he has a reserve, so i'll bet it is much higher than its worth. $99.00 is a good starting price but like bill said,is this worth much more.

Detach the lid, take a jigsaw to it to cut down the edges, experiment some on the nonsports cards to see what kind of removal would work, then go for it. If you succeed, you have a Cobb and a Johnson T205. If you fail, you lose 99 bucks...

I wonder if the cards are authenic or Dover reprints...

I know this trunk. A few cards were removed from it without much damage and sold on ebay a few weeks ago. He was taking offers on the whole trunk (my offer for a couple hundred sight unseen was turned down). The cards are real (at least the t-205s I saw)...should be interesting. Getting the Cobb and Suggs off with minimal damage would more than make up for the current $220 bid.
