Maybe my cousin will get lucky. FIND

My cousin just came over with his wife of 4 years, and they know I sell baseball cards because I had some out today. The wife told me that her dad has some very old baseball card and some very old comics. I asked her how old is your dad and when did he get or collect them. Because we all know they could be the 1980s junk. She told me that she saw them this year and they looked old. So I asked did he collect them recently or when you were a child? She said no, his dad gave them to him before he had to go away when her dad was a small child and his father collected the cards. Her dad is 53 years old. And they must have been collected before or during his younger years as a child because he gave them to him when he was around 10. They dont know what years they are but Im guessing they are 40-60 years old. She said there were Manltes and other names that sounded familiar. Well my cousin said he would go over and get all of them either today or tomorrow for me to look at them. Well this could be a large group of vintage material. And they havent been handled

    Hope for the best but prepare for the worst...

    "Yeah, dad says he started collecting when he saw this box of old cards at K-Mart in 1982..."

    sounds similar to a guy I used to work with....he had all these old cards and wanted to sell...turned out to be mid 70's cards, all beat up and he wanted high beckett for each card......
