there were almost 2000 autos in the total collection and that was just his auto collection. the lcs owner has told me he is now working out a deal for his set(s) collection and his memorabilia collection.
when i was searching the boxes i just started putting aside the cards that you see above. i had know idea what they were worth or what the owner was going to want for them. i figured i would go through them again and only take a few that i really wanted (i really wanted them all, but you know). then the owner was saying how about $10 for this, $15 for that, up to $25. there is only one card i paid $25 for. i might have overpaid for some but others, like the curt flood, i got a great deal on(if i get the flood authenticated, it should sell for $125-150). so to answer your question they aren't nearly as expensive as "pack auto's" but they are just as cool!!
Wow. Can't speak for all of em, but I can say that AT LEAST the Favre, Starr, Jim Kelly, Peytons, Tom Brady, Brees, Crazylegs, and a couple others look legit.
Sweet haul!
I would get some of those authenticated ! They look legit!! Especially the bigger names. I mean and when they are authenticated you can get some of them slabbed. especially of the other players or players that have passed away.

thanks, i'm pretty sure they are all legit. i don't know the guy who sold the cards to the lcs but i've talked to him a couple of times over the years in the shop and he was always talking about going to a show and he got this guy or that guy and in two months he was going somewhere to get somebody. so i believe they are real. thats why i sold 3 peyton spx finite rc's and a bunch of other stuff so i could buy the lot.

i am planning on sending some of them out and i probably will sell a few once they are authenticated so i can recoup some money. but at the moment i am TAPPED OUT!! i have no cash, so authentication will have to wait until next month.
