Yard Sale Pick-ups !!! Long read, sorry..

nineout · 08-13-2011, 08:19 PM

As I'm heading home from work today a buddy of mine waves me down to stop at his yard sale(he knows I collect cards).He's selling some things for his aunt(because his uncle past away and she want to get rid of stuff).He shows me a huge box with a bunch of 500 + count boxes in it, with anything from football,baseball,basketball,hockey and non sports cards.Now I normally don't buy any Baseball but he had some boxes marked "79 & 80" Topps Baseball and since I didn't find anything in the football boxes I decided to buy all the baseball boxes with those years(I did look through them first by the way,that's why I bought them).Plus grabbed a couple basketball singles.I was very surprised after going through the boxes to find more than I originally expected.Here's the best cards:

you struck gold and they look in good condition. I would be sending those in for grading if it were me.

don't go to crazy,the Bird RC/Erving/Magic RC isn't Mint.I would say maybe VG. the top edge has 2 bad spots.1 above Bird and the other above Magic and there are a few scratches on the Erving. The corners and the back of the card are good though.All around I'm happy with finding this card.Even if it's not in the best condition it's a nice PC card to have.Thanks for looking.
