I ended up buying about 22 cards

RE: Pickups
I'd say you did GREAT. I'd be interested in the Castellanos. Not sure I have anything you could use though. IN any event, great pick ups. Definitely post pics. I'll check back tomorrow.
Always looking for Verlander, Cabrera, Maybin, Mike Stanton (marlins), and Avisail Garcia.

RE: Pickups
thanks guys, I went back and ended up buying 350 more cards for 100. I ended up paying $315 total for all of it and missed out on a trout blue auto rookie for $250. Which is why I went back in the first place.
The guy literally sold everything he had, he liquidated his entire collection and sold this stuff for dirt cheap. The first day i spend $100 on 18 cards out of a box, this time 100 for 350 in the same box. Even yesterday was a steal but every card is an auto, rookie, or cards for the 40s,50s,60s. It is going to take me a long time to get these in and with pictures but give it time and I am going to post everything I obtained. It will probably be the only time I ever come across such a great deal.
