  A local guy on FB  has 100 cards from late 80s, early 90s on sale for $40.    Some of the bigger names are Wayne Tolleson, Dave Long, Bill Schmidt, George Wright, Heskith, McGaffigan, Pettis and the list goes on unfortunatley..   Also McCaskill and Gubicza on Triple Play.

I hope you contacted him immediately before they were taken !!

There's a seller on eBay offering a small "investment" binder of a couple number cards with some of the same notable names for $700+ nd I'm sure there are more out there.....

I love to laugh when people think they have gold in cardboard-form when it's actually not even worth the small amount of copper in a penny. You see it all the time at garage sales and flea markets when people are just trying to clear out the crap their children left behind when they became adults. They think "It's 20-30 years old and has to be worth something good.", but it's really not most of the time. And the pandemic has brought out all the stories of cards selling for millions of dollars, but those are not the cards that most people have in their possession. I have a fantastic card collection, but nothing I own would ever sell for millions of dollars. Even my entire collection wouldn't sell for ONE million dollars. I could put together a collection of cards from the late 80s' and early 90's that would sell for $40, but it would be a lot more than 100 cards! AND it would include actual stars and HOFers.

Wow, tell him I got a Pete Ladd, Garth Iorg, and Henry Cotto I can spare for 20 bucks and if he wants I can throw in a Todd Van Poppel for 30.
