I will be taking a lot of pictures to give potential bidders a great idea of what they can expect in this collection. I am not going to add up the book value of each piece in the collection due to time constraints. By the end of the auction there will be a ton of pictures posted to make your own decisions on the book value. The first items that will be shown will have an attractive book value by themselves - let alone the other thousands upon thousands of cards and collectibles included in this auction. The re-sale value (let alone the book value) is without any doubt way up there. Please take note that the majority of the vintage cards are not graded! There are literally hundreds of cards in plastic!!!! This auction truly has an UNLIMITED POTENTIAL!    Shipping is going to be expensive due to the size of the lot. Shipping will be $150.00 US Dollars (and may get to $200 west of the Mississippi River) within the United States and $250 US Dollars to Canada (any customs fees, duties, brokerage fees and taxes are the BUYERS responsibility). I would consider a site pick up versus shipping the collection which would be FREE to the buyer. I do not charge handling fees. Please contact me prior to bidding to determine if this would work for both of us. The collection will be shipped via UPS. Included in the shipping fee is insurance and tracking information. Local pick up auctions MUST BE PAID IN FULL before pick up.     If you have NO feedback or are a new Ebayer, you need to contact me prior to bidding!!!!! If you do not, I WILL cancel your bid. I will not tolerate people "playing" with my auctions. Over the past few months, I had to cancel a dozen or so bids!!!!! I am not hard to work with and I do not like canceling bids. Please make it easy on both of us by simply emailing me and waiting for me to reply back.  PLEASE TAKE THIS WARNING SERIOUSLY!!!!!    Payment is due within 5 DAYS of the auction ending. I will take a money order or a cashiers check but NO PERSONAL CHECKS unless you are willing to wait the 10 business days for the payment to clear my bank. Due to the rising costs of Paypal, I would like to avoid using Paypal unless it is the only form of payment.     OHIO bidders only: Please note that there will be a OHIO sales tax of 6.5%.  This does not apply to shipping charges.         Sellers: Get your own map of past buyers. Fast. Simple.    I plan on updating the listing at least 4 times over the next ten days!!!!!       Please Check Back Soon for more pics!!!!!!!    On Aug-23-08 at 10:14:48 PDT, seller added the following information:          Back for an UPDATE!!!!!             Here are more pics of the SWEET cards in the auction:     There Are Stars, Stars & More Stars!!!!!        1956 Topps Baseball With Warren Spahn!!!!!        N.F.L.
