Default Coworker brought me cards... GRADES RETURNED

Those who didn't see old thread. Coworker brought me in some cards to look at and figured he'd get 1K for all of them. These 3 were cream of the crop - I told him forget the 1K, I'm sending these in to get graded and lets get you paid!

Here they are!

That's $40k+ in cards. He's going to be ecstatic! And I remember he had a lot more good stuff too.

Good on you, OP! Some on BO would've probably offered 1-3k and ran off with the collection. Glad you didn't fleece him like that. Maybe your coworker will give you a fraction of his profits.

Yeah, there is a tons more 20-100 dollar stuff. Just told him we will focus on moving this for now and figure out the rest after.

That’s awesome. Bet they’re pumped you didn’t just offer to buy the raw cards

If your co-worker doesn't hand you at least 15% somethings wrong. You've completely helped him out and maxed their value.

Nice and a good story. Hope your co-worker rewards you since you did him a big favor. Easily 15-20% of the value.
