Get a Uhaul, and come get these cards!

Help!!

I purchased a collection today and it was a all or nothing deal. I have already taken all of the pre-80 material, but as you can see there is a ton of untouched stuff left over at the person's house that I have purchased. Complete Topps sets from 1981-2008, tons of Donruss, Fleer and UD sets, etc. Quite a bit of unopened wax as well. I didn't even have time to go through it, so I don't have a much detail what is in there (other than what the owner told me, but bottom line, I really don't want it. I have 3 weeks to move it out, and I got it rather cheap, so if someone is interested in it, let me know. However, you have to go pick it up yourself. It is located in Northern Missouri. If you are serious about it, shoot me a PM and can discuss details.

Holy smokes!

Looks like a ready to go EBAY biznez, for somebody willing to work.

Stone193 · July 15, 2009 2:10PM

The white metal box with the red top - w/lock looks like a repainted exhibit card machine from the 50s - do you know what it is?

Imagine if you sold each card for a $1 each....

bbcemporium · July 15, 2009 2:37PM

It is located about an hour north of Columbia

hammered · July 15, 2009 2:57PM

I'll take that beer

bbcemporium · July 15, 2009 3:06PM

Where is Mintacular when you need him? This could be his first step to conquer the card world.

thunderdan · July 15, 2009 3:21PM

<< Where is Mintacular when you need him? This could be his first step to conquer the card world. >>

He's living in a van down by the river.

jeffcbay · July 15, 2009 3:23PM

...and he's not going to amount to JACK SQUAT!!

Looks like a good lot for a sealed bid process.

digicat · July 15, 2009 4:16PM

Aww crud. If this was in California, I'd be all over it!

EagleEyeKid · July 15, 2009 4:54PM

Aww crud. If this was in California, I'd be all over it!

I was thinking the same thing. That is insane and looks like too much fun.
Although convincing the wife would be a task in itself.

Allen · July 15, 2009 4:58PM

Wow. If you left all of that, what kind of stuff did you get?

bbcemporium · July 15, 2009 5:08PM

<< Wow. If you left all of that, what kind of stuff did you get? >>

I got complete sets from '60 to '80 with a few being partials. Mostly mid to lower grade, but still worth it.

Bottom9th · July 15, 2009 9:01PM

WOW...now that's a collection. Good luck whoever gets it

slantycouch · July 15, 2009 9:35PM

Actually looks like a few decent things in there.

Donovan - I see a 1989F box!

cwazzy · July 15, 2009 9:52PM

<< where in northern missouri? >>

You up for a road trip, Paul?

IchiroDeported · July 15, 2009 10:01PM

ill send my team of shirpas to haul that back north.

stevek · July 15, 2009 10:05PM

Wow - I think I've seen modern crap heaven. LOL

Actually, for the right price, and if ya have lots of time to do the selling, ya might be able to make a decent buck selling it, or at least have a lot of "modern crap fun" with it. If I lived there, and the transportation costs would be nil, I'd take a shot at it for the right price, with the hope there are a few winners in there.

fur72 · July 15, 2009 10:21PM

Wow I wouldnt even have room for that much! I would love to open every box and turn every page though.

EAsports · July 15, 2009 10:33PM

I'm showing that picture to my better half.

Make her feel better about my card room situation.

lsutigers1973 · July 15, 2009 10:45PM

I can be there in about 10-12 hours and I have nothing important to do for the next few days.

rexvos · July 15, 2009 11:44PM

I think Bill and I can make the trip up and take it off your hands.

lsutigers1973 · July 15, 2009 11:46PM

<< I think Bill and I can make the trip up and take it off your hands. >>

SWEET!!! You drive there and I'll drive the Uhaul back. I'll bring the beer!!!

bbcemporium · July 16, 2009 12:10AM

I've received lots of offers on this and lots of questions. I agreed to buy this for 1k, and would like to recover some of that cost, but if I don't, no big deal. I'm at the point now, whoever wants to go, can get it for free. The only caveat..... you have to take it all!!

lsutigers1973 · July 16, 2009 12:12AM

Curt,

Consider it gone. This should make for an interesting thread over the next month. Waiting on Mike to get permission from his wife. My wife already said I could go. ROAD TRIP!!!

Barfvader · July 16, 2009 12:12AM

ROAD TRIP!!!

Barfvader · July 16, 2009 12:13AM

To funny Bill. I posted at the same time you did.

HeritageAddict · July 16, 2009 12:22AM

Curt, if Bill backs out of going to get it let me know.

123Slider · July 16, 2009 12:29AM

<< Curt,

May I suggest some video taken by you two on the road just to document the experience. It would be a youtube hit!!!

I think my wife is going to kill me when I tell her when she gets home.

DES1984 · July 16, 2009 12:55AM

I'd be interested as well....Live in Missouri and shouldn't be to difficult to arrange if Bill falls out of the mix.

Downtown1974 · July 16, 2009 1:06AM

<<

You may want to tape that as well. It would make a great begining to your video.
I hope you guys do this. It would be fun to follow.

itzagoner · July 16, 2009 1:08AM

i don't know whether to be jealous or amused.

can't wait to see this one play out, looks like it will be tons o' fun.

Good Luck you guys!

RonBurgundy · July 16, 2009 1:11AM

Sorry Bill, I've already dispatched my lieutenants. They are on the ground and in the air as we speak.

thekid8 · July 16, 2009 1:12AM

Hey Bill
If you spot any Gary Carter's in there let me know

Mike

itzagoner · July 16, 2009 1:14AM

ok, a Burgundy thread about chasing 80's would make me very amused.

I expect a reaction comprised of the following elements:

Shock
Horror
Disgust

RonBurgundy · July 16, 2009 1:17AM

"ok, a Burgundy thread about chasing 80's would make me very amused"

I use 90 Fleer Factory sets as toilet paper. They have a nice, smooth feel to them.

Bill,

If you need a place to dump all the refractors after you get it sorted shoot me a PM, cash in hand.

Thanks,
-John

jeffcbay · July 16, 2009 1:25AM

I wish it wasn't an 11 hour drive for me, or else I would fill up Suburban with 80's goodness!

I prefer '91 Fleer. It's really the only thing those bright yellow pieces of crap (no pun intended, :Funny

are good for.

TNP777 · July 16, 2009 2:00AM

I call dibs on the flower pot

initialD · July 16, 2009 2:09AM

Awww Maaaan!!

That's da mothaload for you Bill

No doubt there's some coin there and this will make the greatest

junk 80's road trip of ALL TIME!!!!

Have fun guys and be sure to film it!!!

gumbyfan · July 16, 2009 2:35AM

I wish I had opened this thread sooner...I can leave work in 30 minutes and would have been there by 7pm local time.

You snooze you lose, though.

Get a Uhaul, and come get these cards!
