Went to an estate sale yesterday before the festivities and brought home some cards.
The sale sounds like it was an old card shop. Not sure when it closed but I got cards as new as 2014. It was definitely a shop I had never heard of though and I have been to most in the area.
Anyways I guess the owner passed away and a close friend/family member has been putting this together and had all of the cards in 200 banana boxes. We weren't allowed to go through individual cards just for time and space but he had a spreadsheet of what sets the boxes had and you could get a general idea by opening the boxes.
I ended up taking home 8 boxes with sets I knew I could use and I saw inserts/parallels/Autos etc so I felt pretty good about what I got. Each box was $40 each.
I've made one quick run through it and pulled about a 1 row box of "nicer" stuff and there are 2 full binders full of first day issues/Press Proofs/Starburst etc that I haven't had a chance to look at yet.
Here are a few highlights so far.
