I know we had a member, possibly in Chicago, who had cards stolen from a storage unit. I don't remember who it was, but I just came across this article in my google feed. Maybe this could be useful to you, if this was the same guy. Just a shot in the dark, but I thought I should share it.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Thank you. I was that guy. My unit was on the Southwest side of the city and all these appear to be up north. Regardless I'm going to do more digging to see. Thanks again. Joe

Always looking for Blackhawk hockey, Notre Dame Football, White Sox and Bears Stuff. I have a plaque in my card room that says, "I could have been a millionaire but my mom threw out my baseball cards". How apropos!!! Collecting Chicago Blackhawks Hockey, Doug Wilson Hockey, Chicago Bears Older, Notre Dame Football in their college jerseys and Chicago White Sox.
