The "OMG what did I get myself into?" lot

Since I haven't posted in a while I wanted to give a quick update about what I'm up to. Though I've been working on (or slacking from working on) a trade post and have another to get to, plus lots more stuff, I recently made another enormous Facebook Marketplace purchase at a low price, and it's gonna take me a long while to go through everything:

This is the image from the Marketplace post, one that managed to undersell just how much stuff I'd bought.
And here's everything in my trunk. Yes, that's a football helmet (probably a high school one?). Those boxes are stuffed, and the USPS box is filled with souvenir cups. Like I said, a ton to sort through, but I'm excited about it. There's a ton of great stuff in here, almost all from the 90s (right in my wheelhouse!) and a surprising amount of very nice stuff--'94-'97 Finest, stacks of Refractors and other inserts--and I can't wait to show it off when I get organized. Three of the 5000-count boxes are bursting with mid-90s "commons" (in quotes since stars abound as well), one houses the aforementioned Finest, another is chock full of '96-'97 Donruss, and still there's more. It's easily the largest influx of cards at once I've ever dealt with and it came at the ridiculously low price of $30.

Besides showing things off I'm expecting to put some of this stuff up for sale and some for trade on TCDB, and lots of other stuff will get sent in trade packages or straight up given away because I love to share.

So stay tuned for more on this craziness once I've had more time to go through everything. And before then I promise to give thanks to the folks that sent me cool packages with trade posts, plus I need to cover a TCDB deal when that's complete, a couple eBay pickups, and the show I should be getting to on Friday. But if I'm still slow in posting you'll know why.
