got ahold of them this weekend and started going through them
then started sorting out which ones are actually worth paying to have professionally graded, judging by what they have sold for on ebay
and then i happened upon these gems
2 randy johnson topps rookie cards
the biggest sold listing on ebay went for about $580, although that was graded @ a 10, these are somehow both in really realy good shape
pretty cool
sorry for huge pic

I had a Nolan Ryan rookie card when I was a kid. God only knows where it went.

Turns out it's not worth shit. There are normal topps cards made from their standard stock, an then there are topps "tiffany" cards which are glossier and made from white stock
This is only a thing for Topps cards from 1984-92 or something. I do have a bunch of other cards which are worth a decent amount (George BRett from 1980 is one, there were'nt 2 types of stock used in '80)
But yeah that sucks I thought i had a major score there
Crazy how the tiffany stock ones are $500 and the regular stock ones are... $1. Literally selling on ebay for $1

I've waited practically my entire life to make that joke.
