Long Lost Binders of GOLD from the Closet - Unleashed

Outside of the binders being placed in the plastic tubs I believe 6 years ago, these binders have not been opened, touched, or otherwise looked at in over 20 years. Lurking in the closet all this time, is my retirement freedom.
Knowing in the back of my mind I had this king's ransom stashed away, I told my wife a few years ago I needed to leave for a great adventure. Since 2013 I have been following the state fair around from state to state, each day, every day, all day, spending money on the Beat The Bottle game where you throw little plastic hoops and try to get one to land squarely so it rings around the bottleneck. Spent all of what we had for retirement, and never did actually get a stuffed bear, but, I was accredited by the Carnies for keeping their drug habits active, along with their baby mommas full of pancakes and bacon.
It is VITAL now that I am back that these binders of gold pay off dearly. I must keep the financial freedom promises I guaranteed my wife. Will post some results now and then. Offers will be accepted, serious ones of at least $250 per 9 pocket sheet only though.

I'll give you 7 million dollars
How much for the tubs?
A select few sheets scanned below. I can tell already the initial value I thought I had here will possibly triple. I am not sure anyone else could still have some of this stuff, making it all even that more rare and valuable. The 7 mill offer is quite generous, but will need to pass.
NINE of them
$18 in tubs, holding $2 in cards
HAHAHAHA!!!!!
Some pockets even have up to 4 of the same card shoved in. Manon Rheaume siting !
Sacre bleu !!!
I think there should be a giveaway.
1st prize is the tubs.
2nd prize is the binders.
3rd prize is the cards.
20 and 8 in 1991. 8-19 by 1993.
Can't for the life of me recall what Alex did to make him binder worthy back then.
Will stop this for now.

I don't remember Andre the giant playing for the reds.
No Wally Joyner?
I like this thread, lots of these cards I still have somewhere sitting around. I was born and raised on the "junk era" so I can relate to most of this. Good memories.
Am sure there are Wally World Joyner cards in this stash of wonders.
Remember these guys ? Don't call me Joey ! Gotta give Abbott cred. Steve Avery was the first MLB player that was a little younger than me when I got his card. It kind of freaked me out at the time.
Well, at least you won't need firewood for a while!
Have Rob Dibble and Ben Roethlisberger ever been in the same place at the same time? Pretty sure they are the same person.
Remember when Albert Belle drilled a fan in the chest with a baseball for taunting him? He was pretty cool. I think his hip later gave out from steroid use.

I had forgotten about that
Good for him !!!!
Will Clark hogged a lot of precious binder space -
Love the Avery cards. Still waiting for a Sabo sighting.
Not sure on WHY on this one. it wins the worst sleeve of the week, so far.
Hidden gems from the binders:
And a 'STILL SEALED IN PERFECT CONDITION' Mark Murphy Baseball Card Kid Pack/Wrapper/Box Display Guide. (indeed cool - still in the original wrap)
Kranking Korn's Ball Tongue tune at the moment. Brutal greatness.
The thing I like most about this un-bee-lee-vable lot....the one thing that separates your lot from all others.....
the breadth of players (you got all of them!) and the scope of sports (you got all of them!) under one yuge lot.
Saves me time from having to go after them all individually!

Saberhagen said in 2006 that he would decline HOF induction so long as Pete Rose remained ineligible for betting on baseball,
What a great trip down memory lane. Thanks for posting.
My favorite part about this entire thread is that the first card; Archi Cianfrocco, is one of my favorite cards of all time. Archi is from my hometown of Rome, NY. When that card came out, he had just made his MLB debut and the city had Archi mania. The local shops were selling that card for $40 and up. It was crazy. He made an appearance at the local Italian American club during the all star break to sign autographs. Thankfully I waited until the craziness died down and bought all the run of his cards, and later got the entire run signed.
You don't see too many Archi cards posted on the message boards these days!
