I made it to a card show last weekend after missing the previous show. It was an ok show as these things go, definitely a little sparse. But I did find one guy that had a large section of 'everything for a quarter'. Probably 10-12 large boxes of cards, more football than anything, but I found some baseball.
The boxes of cards were pretty good, if not awesome. Here are a few of my finds.
Black foil, red foil and sepia versions of HOFers were in my quarter wheelhouse. And the Henderson RC was one I hadn't seen before so I scooped it up as well. It turned out that it is a wrapper redemption, and actually sells in the $6-10 range. Sweet!
But what I ended up staying at the table for were three large bins of oversized stuff, still 25 cents for each item. Now we all know that there is a reason that people sometimes sell oversized stuff for cheap. It's hard to store, right? So many of us, including me, often stay away from it. But this time, there wasn't much else to look at, and so I dug through. And I ended up happy that I did. I bought over 90 items from those bins!
I'm not going to show much here, but expect several posts with my hard to store finds. Here's a quick taste!
So silly, but I will have more in the coming days!
I didn’t know big league had a wrapper redemption. That Canseco box bottom is classic. It was definitely one of my favorites that year just like the western bacon cheeseburger at Carl’s Jr.

ReplyDeleteSo far, some great pickups! Looking forward to seeing what else you picked up.
ReplyDeleteLove the 80's box bottoms. I know that they pop up here and there on modern products, but I wish Topps did it for their hobby and blaster boxes. Might actually get me to open more packs.
ReplyDeleteRare to find the uncut box bottoms nowadays.
ReplyDeleteNice pickups!
