I did acquire a starter set of 1979 Topps this way. It's in well-loved condition, but I'm working on finishing it anyway. One of those collections had a couple dozen of singles from the 1950's... that was really fun to find!<br /><br />FYI, you're not the only one who dreams of finding old vintage under weird/odd circumstances.

Inside contained a Kobe Bryant patch card, a Lebron James jersey card, a Jerry Rice rookie card, and an uncut SI for Kids Tiger Woods rookie sheet. Two days later, I found an entire collection of basketball, football, and hockey rookie cards, memorabilia cards, autographs, and 90's inserts for $160. That collection was worth at least a few thousand dollars.<br /><br />That's a story my buddy and I reference at least a few times each year. Good times.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10932266.post-36039248263518338622018-09-20T23:37:00.088-04:002018-09-20T23:37:00.088-04:00I don't have a "great find" story bu...I don't have a "great find" story but a year or so ago a friend of mine gave me the collection his son had as a kid. The son is now early 30s and a week and a half ago or so became a father himself to a girl. So the collection was made up of mainly early and mid 1990s cardsCaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10932266.post-16860751186040041352018-09-20T23:31:06.824-04:002018-09-20T23:31:06.824-04:00My only big success story was finding a '67 Ma...My only big success story was finding a '67 Mantle (as well as a '66 Hank Aaron and a bunch of other goodies) at a garage sale a few years ago for a song. I've always wanted to buy an entire collection but haven't (yet) pulled the trigger on doing anything like that.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10932266.post-793674601591158942018-09-20T22:02:33.149-04:002018-09-20T22:02:33.149-04:00I don't have any great stories to share, but I...I don't have any great stories to share, but I did enjoy this post a great deal, and will be very interested to see what kind of responses you get.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.com
