The local card shop has opened, though they only allow 4 customers at a time in. The shop is not my cup of tea, as I am definitely a bargain hunter. This shop caters to the higher end box buyers, and though they do have a huge number of quarter boxes, I have never found a single card in them that I would have even plucked out of a dime box.
However, they seem to do quite a bit of business, so the collectors in my area must not be clones of me!
Since I have been itching to get my hands on some cards, I made the trip and spent some time there. Like 40 minutes, looking at anything that I would consider a good deal. I ended up spending a quarter. One stinkin quarter!!
But for my money (haha, horrible pun), I scored a deal!
91 Fleer ProVisions complete set!
Now honestly, a quarter might be about the going rate for one of these sets. Maybe 50 cents. Maybe $1. Don't really know, don't really care, I left the shop feeling like I got a good deal, and that's all I was really looking for.
Not only do I love the fronts of these cards, but they also have very detailed, great backs:
Wow. My local shop doesn't have anything like this. A dollar for a junk era pack of Pro Set football might be the closest to this kind of deal.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I was surprised too! Took some digging.
DeleteAwesome deal! I am currently trying to put together some of these sort of sets from the late 1980s to early 1990s.
ReplyDeleteGreat pickup!
ReplyDeleteWow. Nice find for a quarter. I'd probably spend up to a buck too.
ReplyDeleteWas this from Super Sports Cards?
ReplyDeleteYou know it!
