[QUOTE="TheNickelGuy, post: 25329249, member: 20201"]I have been going through all kinds of collections as I plan to consign stuff for a local auction. Fishing tackle, matchbox cars, pressed steel trucks, and baseball stuff. Yes, I have a couple Mickey Mantles. It's all gonna go! Back in the 80's and early 90's, my wife was a big fan of Bo Jackson and so was I. I found about 125 completely different baseball cards and many duplicates in a box decorated for just Bo Jackson alone. When I opened it last night, tucked in along the side was this Two Sport .999 Troy oz round. It does sell for more than spot but I am just glad to have another round to stack. [ATTACH=full]1619619[/ATTACH] [B]This is the second time[/B] I found silver while rooting through the long forgotten baseball cards. Last time I dug around I found a 1992 D US Mint Commemorative Olympic Baseball Dollar stored with a Nolan Ryan card. The Nolan Ryan card appeared to be the model used for the pitchers pose on the commemorative. I am sure that's why I stuck them together. [ATTACH=full]1619622[/ATTACH] Fun finds. I actually forget when I got the Bo round. Probably at a card show and silver was dirt cheap back them. I think less than $5.00 spot. LOL! I'd think nothing of paying five bucks for a piece of cardboard back then and did many times over. Why?[/QUOTE]
