Some of my shoebox finds for the day. I was looking through my wife’s scrapbooking stuff in her office for things to sell on Facebook marketplace. I came across this shoebox that had the word “basketball” written on it.

Here are just a few of the things I found inside.

    Searched this wall unit. The writing on the shoebox is my mom’s handwriting. Easily stashed there for a decade or more. We’ve been here for 17 years.

    That is fun stuff ! Did you remember you still had these ?

    That Phil Jackson card is the exact card my mom used to show me when teaching me about Stranger Danger.

    Nice find! When selling, I would use "Cigar Box Find" rather than shoe box. There seems to be quite a premium on cigar box finds.

    I can honestly say that I don’t recall ever having these. I recall having cards I can’t find. I assume I sold them in HS. I sold a Thurman Munson rookie for cheap. I sold this exact bird/magic for cheap. I also actually split a bunch of 80 basketball including a bird/magic. (I still have that 😭). I had no idea these cards existed. My mom probably dropped off and my wife stuck in her scrapbook cabinet. I would have never placed them there.

    Probably my biggest regret from childhood collection was breaking apart all of my 80/81 Basketball. Had several Bird/Magic RCs and now they are displayed together again, but apart.

    I collect Steve Garvey, Dodgers and signed cards. Collector since 1978.

    Awesome stuff! Congrats.
    Have to admit I was a little disappointed opening the thread. I'm still waiting for that find of '88 Donruss from some poor sap.

    COPPER is gutter !

    Great cards! Even more amazing is the fact your mom didn't throw those cards out.
