Yesterday I gave Al another 200-count box of Braves, plus some more of the usual guys he always needs. He had brought with him a 3,200 count of mixed cards. I didn't want to take the entire box back and forth, and as a lot of it was runs on 1989 Upper Deck, 1990 Topps, 1994 Collectors Choice, etc, that I didn't need, I instead just pulled out about 1,000+ cards that seemed promising, albeit with a lot of junk mixed in. Like usual, I'm keeping what I need, and returning what I don't.
I was able to pull out a few hundred cards I didn't have. Mostly baseball but also a little football. Nothing terribly interesting or exciting but I'll enjoy adding all of them to my collection.
To figure out what I needed, I first separated out the sets that I knew I'd completed, largely junk wax or Topps base cards. These are the other sets, these will go back to Al unless someone sees something they're interested in. There are a few inserts, but mostly base cards as you can see. If you see a set or type of card you think you have needs from, let me know, or if there's a team or player to look for, I can check for that too.Same with this pile, the "junx wax" pile. Some early 80s Topps, Donruss and Fleer, and lots of stars too. (Less stars in the pile above.) Same here - happy to look for anything people want before I return the cards next week.
