A friend needs about 1000 assorted year, decent condition baseball cards to decorate her son's room. Where could she get them and what would it cost approximately?

    You can buy 10,000 on Craigslist most any day for $50-$75.

    Local Flea Markets would be a good start.

    I'll donate your friend a 4-row box for free (my guess 2,000 cards?). Weighs about 15 lbs. Parcel Post shipping estimate will be about $15.

    If she would like 2 full boxes (each with 4 rows or about, my guess 4,000 cards) he can have them both (figure $30 or less shipping)

    (nice 80s, 90s mix of all sports, sorry not all baseball and I think there is nothing later than 1996)

    I randonly pulled 15 cards from the box, 9 were baseball cards (3 football, 2 basketball, 1 hockey)

    Just a guess, but young kids generally prefer cards of the current players they watch on TV and read about. if you want to do the project right, in my opinion, buy a boxed set of 2011 Topps cards - I think there are 660 cards in there...get two boxes if they need more cards than that. The only problem it will be more expensive than the other suggestions, but I think the kid would like it much more.
