| If it's the same lot that was discussed here some time back then they are counting uncut sheets as 100 cards, or however many they have. A pallet load of Dinosaurs Attack would add up pretty quickly and do no one any real good. I'm sure there are some gems, but I doubt they'll find anyone to bite on the whole lot. It's worth more in pieces over time than one shot right now. Ed |

900,000 cards weighs roughly 4,000 pounds... about 180 'ream boxes'... on 4 pallets (just take my word for that). Multiply that by roughly 150 times to equal 131 million cards and that's 600,000 pounds occupying 27,000 ream boxes (give or take)... 600 fully loaded
pallets about 5' tall with each pallet covering a floor space of about 6 square feet. So the volume would be just about 40' wide by 90' long and 5' high (18,000 cubic feet). If you want to store them in your house you would need about 18 spare bedrooms 10' wide x 10' tall x 10' long and double stack the pallets (and good medical insurance when your house collapses). And no... I don't know how many trees gave their life for 300 TONS of cardboard... I'd guess somewhere between 'too many' and 'way too many'.
Or as the late David Frost once said "To give you some idea how big Jupiter is, if you imagine that this orange was the size of the dome of St.Pauls then Jupiter is five hundred million times the size of the dome of St.Pauls. Or to put it another way....50 people dotting continuously at 2.5seconds for 983 years would fill 189 warehouses full of exercise books. Wolfie, where's that box of matches?
