Well, we glovers came close a couple of times with the Kansas and Baltimore (*Jim Mace book) glove discoveries. These mother lodes were exciting periods for leather lovers.
Of course, Heritage, the auction house is treating the multitude of cards carefully, sort of doling them out to private buyers and auctioning off others at a very slow pace, which some of you have mentioned. One card expert has told me that it might bring a slight boost to card prices but more importantly would bring new hobbyists in for cards. "Sorry Charlie, your 1980s-90s cards are still pretty worthless."
Since these were found under a doll house in the attic, I think it gets back to my recent post on the most unusual place you've found a nice glove.
I would agree that the search -- the journey -- is often more important often than the goal.
