Stopped at a small thrift shop today to donate a couple of lamps and while I was there I spotted this box of cards wrapped in plastic bag for $6.00 Appears to be 70's BB and FB.
Figured what the heck. I see 75 BB and 76 football so I am somewhat curious whats inside.
I am not expecting anything great but who knows, right?

Anyway, we have 30 people coming over this weekend, so I will have to get to this next week.
Will update thread at that time.
Here's a pic of the box, still "unopened"

    That's going to be a lot of fun for six bucks.

    Just imagine if he pulls a couple of "shameful" Psa 5-6s of Payton.

    The entertainment of going through the bag is worth more than just $6 measly dollars.
    Happy hunting...


    Later, Paul.

    Cool find. How deep is that box?

  • dtkk49adtkk49a Posts: 2,484 ✭✭✭

    Just checked, the box is 15 x 11 and is 3 inches deep.

    I donated a bunch of commons like that.
    Put down $100 on my tax return.
    Glad you bought it for $6.

  • I spotted a Fred Lynn rookie right away, so looks like there will be some good stuff in there. That was one of the hottest cards way back in the day, so if that one's not cherry picked, I'd take as a good sign.

    Whats taking so long. Rip it open and post pics already.

    Agreed, although you may or may not be kidding. But I'm being serious. Just start the thread when you're ready to show what you got. I understand if it's a "guess the grade" thread or something akin to that but in an age of instant gratification, no point in dragging things out.

    LOL. Its a box of cards, not a sealed Pharoahs tomb....calm down,

    Sorry to keep everyone waiting, I plan to sort through the box tomorrow. I was going to rip it open today, but we had a huge party yesterday and I was so tired today, took a 3 hour nap and then we watched some movie called "The Gift" starring Jason Bateman - I should have went through the box of cards instead lol !

    Ps - Looking at the picture I posted above, I now see Fred Lynn's RC !

    OMG!

    Yeah, I uploaded that KC icon in 2001

    Hi, Didnt want to keep everyone waiting any longer. I just went through the box and as expected, no Brett, Yount or Paton RC's. Great mix of cards from early 70's. I did score the Murphy and Dawson RC's from 77 but that was it for the most part. Will post pics later this afternoon..
