Gave away 20 monster boxes of baseball cards yesterday

[rexvos]

and still cannot get all my stuff to fit in the closet. Tons of commons from the 80s mainly, some 90s and 00s stuff. I have a buddy that collected some that is a little older than me that has 3 boys that collect a little. I dropped the boxes off at his house so the kids will have something to do this summer.

I managed to complete these baseball sets:

1978 Topps
1980-1994 Topps
1981-1982, 1984-1991, and 1994 Donruss
1982-1992 Fleer
1988-1991 Score
1989-1991 Upper Deck
1991 Leaf
1992 Ultra Series I

Working on these football sets:

1978 Topps Football - have not officially started it yet, but have about 500-600 NM to Mint commons
1980-1988 Topps Football
1990 Fleer Football

I just have to go through and dig to find the cards I am missing. I have so much crap stacked up that giving away the 20 monster boxes only put a dent in the stuff I am going through to find.

Thats really nice of you to hook up your friends children. There was nothing like going through a box of cards during the summer. It's amazing how much stuff we accumulate over the years. I have no where near that much stuff now, because I don't bust as much, but I have all kinds from the late 80's early 90's. Good luck on your new sets thou. Its always fun to work on then complete one.

i sold 180,000+ commons/semistars a few years ago on ebay...had it 'local pick up only' and got $500+ out of it...lately ive just been throwing the garbage out though

I did that a few years back when we had a garage sale. Sold monster boxes full for $10 a piece and when neighborhood kids were interested I'd either just give them one or throw in some old football videos or Starting Line Up figures.

I have 1 monster box of non-PC stuff now.


Nice of you to look after the little ones.
