about those old sports cards...

"A  man recently unearthed this buried treasure in his 90-year-old aunt’s Tennessee attic where it was stored in an old Stroh’s beer box."



One has to wonder if in another 35 years, someone will unearth some Nintendo treasures of the past... or what have you! All that said, it's still a little nuts that here in the USA many people have difficulty paying their rent, but the rich spend over $500,000 on 70 year-old bubble gum! Okay, technically the cards of course, but it still comes with the bubble gum...

    Have to admit, I'm a bit curious about that myself...

    I've done it with a pack from 1982.  It pretty much just crumbled and was so dry and chaulky.  I can't imagine one from decades prior.

    I've done it. It just disintegrates into nothing.

    A fool and his money are soon parted.
  • What a dummy, could have just googled a picture of the cards instead.

  • I've had old card gum before, it just liquifies.
