Found some $4 junk wax boxes at a garage sale today. I paid for them and as I was walking away I asked if he had anymore cards. He went into the house and brought out some binders with mostly 1980s hockey but also a few basketball and football cards. I picked up the three cards below for a total of $480.

    Thanks. The "junk" was 4 wax boxes of 1990 Score hockey for $4 each.

    You picked up the boxes of 1990 Score, but there was nothing worth buying from the 1980's hockey? What was there among the 1980's hockey?

    There was a 1980 OPC Gretzky but it was way OC and a few other RCs like Coffey and Roy. On the hockey stuff he wanted near book even if the condition was off.

    Nice grades! The Jordan alone doubled your investment.

    Agreed and a Rice 8.5 is tough to find raw, trust me I know I consider the Rice rookie undervalued and have bought about 10 raw examples and still haven't hit a PSA 9 yet.

    Nice grade on the Jordan!

    So you can use one of your six free CC grades on a card of any value? I thought the Jordan would be valued too high to be used with the vouchers....

    You are correct. I took a chance and valued it at the max value of $499.

    Not really too sure if that was good or bad ... do you realize how many more hours you are going to spend going to garage sales after that AWESOME sub?
    STAY HEALTHY!
