Sports Card Stash Found In Abandoned Warehouse In Detroit

[Krusin]

Large card stash discovered

Saw this article on another site & when I saw the Hockey cards in one of the close ups I had to post it here, looked to see if it had been posted here & did not see anything. A lot of it is trash but I would think a large number cards would be in good shape, along with stacks & stacks of uncut sheets. Lots of pics in the article, worth a look.

The author is obviously overstating the worth but still a fun discovery none the less...

the building, the land, the mineral deposits on the land and the cards are not worth over a million dollars.

Be fair. The land MIGHT be.

$1M BV, but will all be sold for $50k.

Doubtful.... You can buy tin huge swaths of land for next to nothing. A lot of this old industrial and warehouse land is contaminated.

I doubt there is even 50K sale value i say more around 5k in trash removal .

Probably do well if they shred the lot and use it as blown-in insulation...

 

[TanguayFan]

But the cards are mint!!!!! As long as you ignore the fact that they are scattered all over the warehouse floor and covered in dirt and oil, and the ones in the boxes are likely damp, and full of mold and mildew.

I hope they find a few Pro Set Stanley Cup Holograms or the "Bloody Nose" Nordique card before they cook the hot dogs on the fire....
