Anybody have old wantlists still?

I guess it's spring cleaning time (even though there is still snowbanks 4 feet high on either side of my driveway)
Somebody from down the street knew I collected cards (how, I do not know) and dropped off four monster boxes of cards on my doorstep. 20,000 cards. About 45 lbs of them.
They are in pack fresh condition, having not been touched in about 17 years. So if you are still trying to finish off any of the following, lmk and I'll root around the boxes for you.

Baseball;
Topps - 1989,1990,1991
Donruss - 1988,1989,1990,1992
Score - 1991
Upper Deck - 1990,1991

Hockey;
1990/91 ProSet, Score, Bowman, OPC, Topps, and OHL
Upperdeck - 1990/91 and 1991/92
Parkhurst 1991/92

OPC - 1978/79 and 79/80
OPC 1982/83

Basketball
1991 Hoops and Skybox


Yeah, I know... a lot of stuff that should be sold by the pound to a recycling depot. Anyways, I can help out those still in need.

I should have my '89 Donruss wantlist up this afternoon, if you have time to check it out and see if you have any of them - thanks!

If you can somehow hold onto the baseball cards for three months I can get a wantlist to you. I'm heading back to the grandparent's house to pick up my childhood baseball cards (about 250,000 cards from the height of the junk wax era) on Memorial Day weekend and then it'll probably take my wife and I about a month to sort them. If you get cold and feel the need to start a fire made of baseball cards sometime between now and then, I'll certainly understand.

According to my list, the only thing that I still need is a 1989 Donruss card of Melido Perez.

Anyway, if there are any White Sox insert cards, please shoot me an e-mail.

I'm willing to bet I need a good portion of those older OPC hockey cards, in all honesty it will probably be forever before I get around to formally putting together any kind of want lists for those sets though. I'll try to keep it in mind!

Ooh, vintage Hockey. My inner modern history geek tingles at the thought. :) Also interested in the '91 Skybox basketball, though I have wantlists for none of the above. Just interested purely for the old school rush of cards from before I was born and the nostalgia rush of the basketball cards that literally planted the very first seeds of my infatuation with sports cards when I was somewhere around seven years old.
