...Not as spendy as my own breaks; but they are gifts...so who's to complain?

1 box '06 UD Artifacts BB:
Huston Street - AutoFacts AU#/500
Liriano, Fielder Jr., Chuck James, Johima, and Zimmerman RC's
Clint Barmes JY/150 (away w/stripe), Mark Buehrle JY/325 w/stripe
Jake Westbrooke/JY

2 packs '06 Topps CoSigners:
Craig Breslow Auto...double...definitely for sale.


...and here's The Best Part: My Dad found a big box of about 1,000 cards in a dumpster outside a storage place. It had tons of cards from '60 to present. Most from '76 forward. I got to go through them one by one on the living room floor like a kid looking for treasure again. It was awesome. Here's the (trade) highlights:

The main thing is...and I'm looking for pricing on this...please help me, cause I don't collect football...looks like a reprint of a '33 Goudey Red Grange card AUTOGRAPHED! Being a random card in a refuse box, I don't know if its real. But please let me know *about* what a real one would go for. If its high enough, I'll have it autenticated. Thanks!

ALSO hundreds of NM '78, '79, 80 and '81 Topps commons and minor stars..NearMint!
Drakes "Big Hitters" cards '79-'83...including '82-'83 Cal Ripken multiples that are for trade. (I remember being on the floor of stores at 8-10 years old searching for the good cards :)
Also 6 or 8 mis-cut...but otherwise pristine '79 Topps Ozzie Smith rookies
A lot of '64-72 Topps BB...no major stars...all series
The biggest bummer was an almost complete set of '72 Topps high numbers with the traded...BUT all were water damaged!!! AAAaaaghhh!!! :)

Now THAT was an Xmas for SEARCHERS!!!

Almost forgot: There was a bunch of '82 Cocoa Cola cards from Boston. I could probably make teams sets; but more likely, there was 3-5 Yaz cards.


...just trying to help (but PM is best!)
