I just found a "forgotten" box in my folks basement and it was full of good stuff. All 50's and 60's stars but these were by far the best condition.
I'm happy I still have these. I used to have about 100 55 Bowmans as crisp as these and they were the first cards I sold(raw mind you) on eBay when I started selling in 2000. Some guy bought them without pics and paid less than a buck a card for about 30 of them.

It doesn't. I just figured you were in the basement sneaking a peak at the Playboy that you stole from your dad when you found the box.

shouldn't you be over on the SGC being a PITA there instead of here?
edit: zef, those cards are beautiful...keep us updated with the results of the sub.
Unless, I'm sorry ... are they grading for free? Ehh ... I'd still have to think about it.
Zef- those are neat cards. Frank Gifford's head is huge in that picture!

Sorry PA I had to borrow your word.

There is still tons of chit in my parents basement. I thought there was nothing good left but these were in a box that was labled "1984 bb EX+." I was looking to clear some space and put the individual boxes of crap in monster boxes so I could take it to my place and throw them in storage and bam!

That's cool! You're lucky to have your parents and have a basebent to search thru.
One time around 1992, I went to my mom's basement and found some old junk - I found my brother's cards. I already had what was left of mine.
They were all vg at best! Here's an example:
Whomever took care of those cards was really careful.
Very nice!
I especially like the Giff card.
thanx for sharing
I'm looking forward to more "things that I found in the basement" thread.

i cant take credit for it, thats the Open Forum rubbing off on me..
<< <i>ive still got a bunch of chit in storage at my folks place, i sometimes just go grab a couple of boxes and bring em back with me and its like getting to open a wax box, because i'll have no idea what kinda cards are in there.. and just like a wax box, sometimes its complete garbage like a bunch of stuck-together 1994 stadium club, or sometimes its a cool box full of vintage/semi-vintage stuff in top loaders, or a chitty box of 1990's non-sports crap.. i found a shoebox with unopened 1987 & 88 topps baseball packs a couple weeks ago.. im gonna open them eventually just for the hell of it.. >>

I still wouldn't chew the gum!
It's always cool to find stuff that you didn't know you had.
My sister called and told my son to let me know that she wanted me to get all my 45s out because she was planning to sell the house.
My son said: "I didn't know my dad had a gun collection."
The times we live in.

so if its not a gun, what the hell is a 45?.. (just kidding).. when i was little my dad had a big jukebox that played 45s, and i thought it was the coolest thing in the world to have a jukebox, one that actually took quarters and stuff and lit up all neon..
everytime someone at work tells me they have some cards in great condition and they are "old"....they show up with a box of 91 fleer basketball or football in a ziploc bag...
what is the deal with the southerncards guy???? good gracious.
lmmw, i think gifford looks like a younger patrick swayze (pre-ghost) ....wasn't there a thread a while back with "lookalike" pics? i think i need to get my wife hooked into this thread. i'm always telling her about stories on this board. she thinks i'm crazy but laughs most of the times. she did like the idea of the baseball and football pack busts in the upcoming weeks. she's been asking me how it was going. then i told her about the "loss" mentioned in another thread regarding a member i did not know. she asked "so what if something happens to you, who's going to tell the board"...maybe i'll get her on here before long.
zef, very nice cards.
Thanks,

that's where your relatives keep an incredible cache of untouched raw cards from the 50's & 60's....if you or your relatives don't have a basement, check the attic
<< <i>Okay - I live in Southern California; because of this thread I've looked and looked but I give up. What's a basement? >>
A basement is a floor or several stories of a building that are either completely or partially below the ground floor. Not all buildings have basements. For buildings with basements, the furnace, water heater, car park and air-conditioning system of a house or building are typically located in the basement; so also are amenities such as the electrical distribution system, and cable television distribution point. In British English the word 'basement' is rarely used and the word 'cellar' is used to apply to any such large underground room.
It's like ... hmm ... okay, remember in PULP FICTION when Ving Rhames took it in the rear? That was in the basement.

So it's a good thing to not have a basement....?

Unless, of course, you're into that kinda thing. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
