The first box

Last week I bought two 5000 count boxes from my buddy for $5 each.  You might recall that I mentioned they were full of cards.  I've finally made it through the first box.  I sorted everything by year and didn't come up with any complete sets, but I got close on a couple sets.

Here is a breakdown of the contents of box #1.

Random Total--6 cards

Grand total for box #1--4151 cards.  I did throw away a couple hundred cards that were stuck together.  I tried pulling some of them apart and they were too damaged to salvage.

Now that I've sorted all the cards, I need to go back and pull out the Rangers and play at the plate cards. If you need cards from any of these sets, let me know and I'll eventually send them out.  Most of what I don't keep or trade is going in my garage sale box.

  1. I'll take any of the misc. Red Sox cards. I can dig up some more Rangers for you

  2. Wow huge haul. Sad about the stuck-together losses. Hmmm might have to make some deal about the Donruss and Regular flagship Bowman (not the Chromes or Best).

  3. I can definitely use the mid to late 90s and early 2000s Brewers.

  5. I don't know specifics but I'd probably need/want Cubs from any of those sets.

  6. Great mixture of cards. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has thrown out cards. It totally sucks when certain glossy products get stuck together and there's nothing you can do, except dump them.

    You have a garage sale box? Great idea... I probably should do that.
