Now get your mind out of the gutter. Got a call from him a bit ago. He has been working in Ohio for a contractor who cleans and fixes up old abandon houses for a large city. Today he called to tell me about his latest find. Said in one house attic he found two large boxes of Topp's baseball cards. He said banana box size boxes. All unopened and in mint condition. They date back into the early 60's. Some other autographed stuff from a UCLA team, and other sports memorabilia. He took them to a sports memorabilia shop and they offered him 7 grand for the lot. He was one happy camper when he called. Must have been some rare packets in the lot.

Sounds like it would be worth his while to pay someone to appraise the entire lot.
