Anyone want to see what 48,000 base cards looks like?

Hey all

Ive been collecting since I was 10 years old ( 27 now ), and still had all my base cards in big, space consuming, 3,200 count boxes.

I was able to work out a deal with a local guy here where he would take all my base boxes, but slowly. 3 by 3, I would take these to the monthly shows in exchange for cards or cash. Finally, a few shows ago he asked me how many more I had, and told me I could bring them all!

In total, I had 15 3,200 count boxes. 10 of the boxes were post lockout, 5 being pre lockout.



Unfortunately, I dont have a pic of all the 3200s piled up ..... but I do have to show what I got out of them ! :party0048:


Im very happy with what I was able to turn my base cards in to ..... and my girlfriend is even more happy with all the extra closet space she inherited ( probably the MOJO of all my pickups =P?! )


Here's what I was able to land with my 48,000 base cards!




- 11/12 Elite Auto Rookie Connolly SP ( 1,500 base cards )

Only the Roy is available! But not really looking for 10K base cards for it =P

Thanks all for the look!

I wish somebody would trade me a Crosby auto for 7000 base cards :confused0068:

Great deal you got there!

Holy cow! I'd take deals like that for my base any day! I wonder what he was planning on doing with all of that base...

Hahahaaaaa, as someone who once bought a 4 by 4 by 5-skid of mostly base cards, I know exactly where you're coming from!!

You have a very nice little collection now :)

I would imagine he is a seller on sportlots or something along those lines. If he sold all those 7,000 base cards for the lowest possible listing price at .18 cents each, he would make $1260.

Still, some good trades! I wish I had found someone to take base cards off my hands before I dropped off about 10,000 base cards at goodwill before Christmas.

check it out. A nice way to add lower end cards to your collection.

Great cards for all that base! And making the lil lady happy is a fine perk too! :)

I wish I could get that for all my base - 50 5000ct boxes

I agree. I wish I could get a penny a piece for my base.
