The Villages: The dime box finds

 I pulled and scanned a handful of what I think are highlight worthy cards from that $20.00 monster box. There were plenty of others, but this should suffice. Mind you 2 of the 5 rows were 2026 Topps and one row was 3/4 2025 basketball 1/4 football. 

So what kind of cards were in the first row (besides the 2020-2025 heritage I mentioned immediately after the show)?

The White Turkey Red's are just the keepers, there was a lot of them and a few Black too.

Some rookie keepers plus the Chrome Adley from 2026. The trio of Arrieta was cool.

The Ted Williams subset cards were very cool to find in there. As far as Diamante from 2026 there were a hefty handful of those just not keepers for me. That $20.00 box was definitely the best deal of the day followed closely by the $10.00 Heritage box of 2026.

Tomorrow I will highlight the last cards of the day that came from a different seller that only had dollar boxes.

Jackie Robinson Day!

 Mid week has arrived, and skipping out on Wacky Wednesday tonight. No worries they'll be back next week. Also ignoring TAX DAY too. these days most people have filed already and probably a little bit happier this year than in recent years.

I thought for a change this year that I would scan the pages in My Jackie Robinson binder rather than the usual annual "42" tribute cards that I typically show. Now, this isn't all of the Jackie cards that I have as there are several more that are part of set builds and unless they are a dupe won't be in the PC binder. Currently I sit at #9 on TCDB with 259 total (223 in binder). With that said, Greg (NO) is at #3 with 425, and GCRL at #2 with 507. Time to sit back and enjoy the Jackie show.

In case you are wondering the two orange cards have different backs (one red one yellow).

The Swell is a reprint of the 48' (I wish it was an original one :)

Pretty sure this is my oldest Jackie card, sad I know. Then again it seems like I do have something of his in my Topps set builds from the 50's or 60's. Guess I need to flip through those binders again.

These are the oversize versions.

Happy Jackie Robinson Day! One heck of a ball player!

The Villages card show: A few I forgot about.

 Getting to the last of that show's pick ups (2 more posts). This weekend will be two weeks ago, and also time for a smaller (much) here in Ocala, but all the way across town (30 minute drive). I will take it though, as I haven't been to a "show" in Ocala in a few years. I am really hoping that great seller from the Villages is there :). Although there hasn't been anything new actually released since then.

These 6 cards came from that 1/2/3 dollar box from that dealer I just mentioned, albeit one of them was marked $2 I just forget which one.

The next two scans were in my wallet and I had forgotten about them.

1970 Topps Posters. I bought these early in the show and had put them in my wallet. I think I paid $7.00 for the pair.  Not a good deal especially since they are not in great condition, but too late now. I probably should of paid a buck each or left them.

I have two more posts left from this show one is from that dime box, and the other is from a different seller and his dollar boxes. Next week I will start highlighting the goodies I received from Rod last week.....some really cool stuff!

Just Another Maddux Monday

 AJ (The Lost Collector) brings home the win last week. Who will win the free Greg Maddux cards this week?

Here are the prizes.

There ya go! I hope everyone has a great week ahead.

The next round

 Time for the next round from last weekend's card show. It will be a short one.

These four needed Braves (although a couple of them are also sitting in my Sport Lots box) were in that 5K monster dime box that I paid $20.00 for the entire box. Considering that the brand new unmarked box costs between $6-8.00 all by itself, wow. I hope this seller is at the show here in Ocala on the 18th. I do have several scans that also came from that "dime" box, lol but that is another post.

Below are the three cards that I spent the most for and in reality probably paid full price, too late now.

Now for a pair of Acuna rookie year cards that are not common.

Throwback Thursday.

Topps Now. 

These three cards were in that pricier box of cards. I knew that I didn't have them and because that TCDB "other guy" is right back where we started with around 1,100 ATL Braves more than me. Even after I added all of the new to me Braves from this show (about 50, he added 47 in one day then the next added a dozen more). I still call BS!

I will be focusing the rest of this year on just obtaining Braves, that is unless there is a super deal like the $20.00 box here, and the $10.00 Heritage box (BTW: there were 4 SP's in the box). 

Have a super weekend!
