Lots of new shiny to sort

The smaller collection I recently purchased has hit the table and awaits my next move. Backstory - this was a local Facebook purchase from a younger guy (new father) who had been ripping a lot of retail and some hobby boxes. He has a nice framed piece full of recent New York Giants autos and relics. That's all he said he wanted to keep. Everything else was for sale. Something was off though. Where were all the base cards? He tossed them into the recycling, because in his words "they are just pieces of cardboard". I kept my mouth shut - zipped. 

Ironically, this collection had some of the obligatory early 90's pieces of cardboard.

1990 and 1991 Upper Deck, Score, and Pro Set hockey and some of the usual baseball suspects as well. I wish he had recycled those instead!! Now I have to re-home these via the donation center. He did try to pawn off two 1991 Fleer baseball factory sets. I left them there. 

On to the good stuff. Very preliminary grouping by sport for now. 

It's hard to tell from the pictures but most of those stacks are 25+ each of colorful randomness. Many of these are products I did not open so I do not know them well. TCDb will get a work out helping me identify a lot of these. I reckon I may have some images to add to the site as well. 

You may be wondering about the price stickers. He explained that his card buddy had started comping ahead of this collection being listed but stopped because it was too much work. No kidding. 

I (we) are struggling with what we should do with all of these. I wish there had been more baseball but it is what it is when you find a deal. The modern hockey cards will be trade bait for sure. I sold my 600k hockey collection earlier this year and I am not starting another one. The football and basketball cards will get sorted and set aside, maybe to be sold, maybe more trade bait. We shall see. 

I will provide updates once I get this organized. Thanks for reading.
