I've certainly done worse with $50... lol

You should be able to make your money back with the sets alone. I'd say you did just fine!

slimies

i figured what the hey.. its been almost a year since anyone has advertised sports in the classifieds for under $100

ill load pics of the recent pulls if wish .. none are mint mint .. most are between vg-ex - nm at best

What's a newspaper?

slimies

The best one in the 1991 ProCards AHL St. Johns Maple Leafs team would be Felix Potvin, but it might still only actually sell for a buck or two.

slimies

unfortunatly the Potvin card is not there.. its not a complete set .. oh the 2nd box went though was just so so ,, handful of 1981-1983 fleer (aprox 200 cards ) mostly commons and semi stars .. a few hof's . lots of 1990 uper deck baseball and quite alot of 1986-89 topps baseball.. ill see how the last 3 boxes go from the lot i purchased

slimies

Box #3 seems to be a fair bit better then the last one i went through .. only 2 boxes left to search .. there's a kid in my apt complex who is just starting to collect.. i may give him some of cards ( not the valuable ones of course ) just to get him started . im not going to holder all that i found in the box but the ones I like I have in top loaders or snap tights . please let me know if wish closer clans of the cards.

what pulled from box #3
