Great find!! Looks like you found a treasure hold of cards!
It was a Great find! The Estate was old and everything was covered in 2 in. of dust! Most items didn't have price, you just grabbed and asked How Much Is This! I like to dig were nobody dares to go..LOL
I am jealous. I really miss going to estate sales, auctions and the like but I just can't bring one more thing into this house unless some other things go to make room.
Well SMD Darlin'. Do as I did, buy the house next door to you! Your gets to full, just move in the one that has less stuff in it! LOL Dave
