Doesn't every body have boxes and boxes of junk cards out in your garage like I do? I was going through one of my "junk" boxes and found an absolute pristine 1959 Topps Stan Musial. Well, it wasn't pristine. Actually, it was beat to a pulp, but, hey, it's still a vintage Musial card. I was pleasantly surprised to find it.

What's the best card you've ever pulled from your "junk" box. Mine is either the above Musial or the 2001 Upper Deck Ryan Howard RC a couple of years ago right when he was on fire.

    About 25 years ago, at a flea market, I found a 1932 U.S. Caramel Dempsey or Sharkey. Can't remember which one. Bought it for $1 and sold it for $25 - big bucks back then for a kid! image

    I found a mint 1994 Upper Deck electric diamond A-Rod in one of my binders recently.

    Not expensive by any means but a thrill to find none the less.

    About 2 years ago I went to my local flea market and saw a "junk" box of crappy commons, and while going through them I saw a Griffey UD RC (booked $50 at the time). I asked how much and I got it for $2

    Got this from a junk lot of refractors on eBay awhile ago. Paid under $10 for the lot.

    Numbered 480/799

    Put it in a box with the others I bought at the time and one day when I was bored I decided to pull the box out and look up a few of the cards that was in it and was very happily surprised at this one.

    Chrome Pujols RC. Sadly I haven't decided to send it in so it's been uselessly sitting on a "candidate" pile since the Cardinals won the World Series.

    Going through some of my cards in one of my burried away boxes , not too long after finding this forum, I dug this out , it's no 9 or anything but it's still in better shape than I really expected , the box had been moved so many times I can't even remember .
