Free is good. Or is it?


A guy where I work has been "threatening" to bring me a box of cards from his house.  He said he's had them forever and just wants them out of his house.  He hopes they're worth "billions".  




Well, the thought was nice, but they're worth about $2.  And that's being generous.  It took less than two minutes to figure out that the box is full of 1990 Topps, Donruss and Fleer with just a smidge of 1990 Bowman.  

After going through those other 4 monster boxes, I just can't stomach going through these.  I'm going to give them to my son to dump off on his friends or I might use them in the fire pit.  Either way, I'm not even sorting out the Rangers.  

He did bring in a plastic bag containing some other goodies, but I'll save those for tomorrow.

  1. Ugh. I think your eyes would have fallen right out of your head if you tried to sort another box.

  2. thankfully those come from a year where they would still burn. another year or two and you'd be out of luck.

  5. The "nice" thing about 90's junk wax is that some of the sets (90 Donruss, 91 Fleer) are easily identified without even having to look. Gotta love seeing that blinding red or yellow streak in a box...

  6. You probably should have asked your co-worker his definition of "forever".
