I work with a guy who was a big hockey fan back 25-30 years ago. We were having lunch one day last summer and the topic of baseball cards came up. I told him all about how the industry had changed in the last 15 or so years including the process of grading sports cards. In passing, he mentioned that he had a lot of hockey cards and asked me if I would be interested in them since they were taking up valuable space in his home. Not being a huge hockey fan, I told him that if he was just going to throw them out then yes I'd take them.
Well, Friday of last week he unloads a rubbermaid container of hockey cards on me all from 1979-80. The guy had 8 Gretzky cards in top loaders and a box of unopened wax packs!! The best part of the whole thing is that none of the stuff was Topps, it's all OPC!! Needless to say, I'm starting to like hockey cards!!!

There are two types of people in this world; those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don't. My ex-wife loves him!!

As Mike said .... throw him a BIG BONE ... like 1/2 of what you receive from them when they are sold!
GOOD LUCK!!
