I often check the Craiglist ads locally here for cards. It always seems to be the same people who are dealers selling or the good old I have 100,000 cards from 1986 to 1990 and they want $5K!!!
Anyway I was searching and found this listing where the guy had pictures and some big names listed. I had him come to my office and he brought about 30 cards. They were in some seriously old cases and he brought them in a plastic bag and they were all loose. His original price was $1,500. I ended up picking up the 30 card lot for $600. I submitted the best of the group and my grades are in. They should be at my house when I get home today. I am really excited about a few of these as they will sit in my personal collection, the others are going up to the bay.
Thought I would share with everyone as it gets harder and harder to find good, non scamming deals on Craiglist. Let me know what you think!

Nice pick up. I'd say thru the 56's (first 7 cards) you should get your money back. The other 23 are FREE! Good luck with your sales.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

I am totally surprised PSA slabbed that. They usually returned trimmed cards to me unslabbed. Did you ask them to slab it beforehand?
