Found some unopened junk in my basement

Brian48 · December 23, 2006 10:46AM

Opened up some boxes expecting to find old shoes or what not. 'Lo and behold, it turned out to be some misc junk that I had bought ages ago and forgot about. Other people find Mantles and Wagners, I get this crap.

Are these even worth ripping? I'm thinking of just "donating" the lot to a local card shop that's not doing too well right now.

Funny how some consider that junk and people like me who held off buying that stuff when it was new consider it a fun bunch of cards to open and put together sets.

Guess one man's junk is another man's treasure.

Looks like nice "Give-away" stuff to me. You know a contest...yeah thats it...a contest

The OPC Premiere is a nice box. Lots of good rookies in that set.

if you dont want the upperdeck hockey send it my way...lol

In my opinion, the 90-91 UpperDeck are among the best looking cards I've ever seen, especially the Junior cards.

There'll be no box breaking until you make that bed young man!

No basements in California either. We had 'em in northwest Oregon when I was a kid, though.

I checked my basement just now, but all I found was dust. I'll keep looking for those Wagners and Mantles tho!

Lol! I guess I do sound somewhat jaded by calling some of this stuff junk. It's just that this was fringe of my rather major hockey collection a decade ago before all my stuff was stolen. Tell ya what, let me get past the holidays here and organize this stuff a bit. If you're still interested in the Pacific box after the new year, you can have it for nothing. Just reimburse me for whatever is the postage on the shipping box.

I went through the stash and found a few other items I never got around to looking at:

Partial set '87 FB
Partial set '82-83 Hockey
Partial set 83-84 OPC Hockey
Partial set '84 Topps FB
one box of misc Hcky stars late 70's to 80's
'91 Papa Gino's FB set (complete)
'76 Hostess uncut panel with George Brett

and a few other boxes that's brown with age that's going to have to wait (have to wrap Christmas presents now with the kids). Stay tuned folks, there's going to be another give-away thread fairly soon.

Hey lawn boy. Always wanted to say that. I will split the shipping if you send me the Packers.

benderbroeth · December 23, 2006 1:48PM

<< what part of oregon i am from portland i still live there. >>

I was born in Portland (lived on Hoyt Street until I was three). Moved to Astoria until '80, then moved down to central California. I'd love to move back to Oregon someday & probably will.
