Bought a collection during my Heritage case rip....Scans added

As some of you know, I sat down earlier today to begin my annual rip of Heritage. By 6:30 I had made it thru 2 cases with one to go. I decided this was a good stopping point to grab dinner and my son from a friend's house. I loaded up my 2 daughters and we went to pick up my son. When I got to the house I decided to get out and grab my son, this is unusual as I would normally send one of my daughters to get him because of a bad ankle. So I make my way up to the house and the boys are in the backyard playing baseball so I stop and watch and reminisce about playing when I was younger. While watching, the friend's father comes up and we begin talking. As the conversation progresses he ask if I still mess around with baseball cards. I tell him I do and he asks if I am interested in buying some that he had come across. Reluctantly I said yes, thinking to myself here goes another trip down memory lane with worthless '80's crap.

To my surprise he pulls out a couple of notebooks loaded with 50's and 60's cards. After going thru the notebooks we discuss a price and come to an agreement. So scans coming soon, nothing spectacular as far as conditioning goes, but a nice assortment.

    I love ACTUAL success stories like this... 99% of the time it's the 80s/90s nightmare.

    They look well-loved (and I mean that in a good way).

    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.

    Quick update, I spoke with David, (friend's father) about an hour ago. He told me to stop by again when I get the chance, that he had 4 more notebooks with cards for me. He said 3 were baseball and 1 with football. Fingers crossed, the way he spoke about the notebooks was as if they were part of the original deal and I just needed to pick them up. image
