Special Edition: 3 card Mail Day plus an in person 4 binder collection Haul

ON Friday 01 Sep 2017:
I got a special haul of cards. To back up slightly For a few years now on the First Friday of each month I get together with some friends at their house and a mutual friend joins us. Their oldest son, one of two, who is in his early to mid 30s now used to collect trading cards. Not sure if the other son collected or not. So what seems like just a couple of years ago, is actually 4 years ago, they gave me the bulk of their son's cards from around the typical junk wax years Mostly early 1990s. I blogged about it here. I don't know if the son has even thought about his old hobby, or as I said back in that post if he is even aware that his old collection is gone, now completely gone. Anyway with that first haul I was told there might be some more cards, but they weren't sure, about 2 years ago a binder or two showed up, and to my surprise a few weeks ago the "final" batch was uncovered and given to me over this Labor Day weekend. A healthy mix of baseball and football cards were in three 3 inch binders. Plus there was a thinner binder. I originally thought of it as a "Trapper Keeper", but this thing is just a 1 inch binder with a Velcro flap. This smaller binder held some non-sport cards. To be exact it has an incomplete set of 1994 Fleer Ultrra Beavis and Butthead cards. Hahahahahaha. I didn't do a complete count, but they are organized by number and there was even a "Cards Needed" checklist on a piece of notebook paper. Not sure if I've going to try to complete the set or not. Over the years I have thought about it.

One time I used to have a nine-card promo sheet of the set from one of the Non-Sport Card Magazines (I think it was Card Collector's Price Guide) that would often include those 9 card promo sheets I ended up selling it on Ebay some years ago. That would have been a nice compliment to the set if I had ever pursued it.

Also there was a 25 sheet pack of 9 pocket binder pages from Mega Cards with the free Conlon Collection card in it. This one has a 1992 colorized #12 Carl Hubbell card. Moving on.
