Saturday I drove back home for a card show. I was able to spend a little time with one of my daughters and my grandson. That alone made it a great trip. The Villages card show is only 3x per year usually, and I missed that first one this year. I was bummed that I missed that one as I was all set to pick up several partial 50's sets. Turned out, I didn't miss a thing. That particular seller was there this time too, and he had his partial sets in binders out. Problem.... he had quadrupled his usual pricing. That was not a good start to this show. In fact I didn't buy a ton of cards. I did manage to scoop up some vintage. Fleer out the wazzu. I'll spread these out all week and into next week.
I added two more 54' Red Man Braves and 1 53' (Pafko) who isn't in the greatest shape, but the price was reasonable for them.
A view from the back.
Sucks the guy raised his prices. At least you walked away with some really cool stuff. I love Fleer cloth patches... and Red Man cards.
ReplyDeleteI had to make a correction above. He 4-500% increased his prices. stuff that was $400 the last couple of years now $1800.00. I didn't buy anything from him, and told him why. I did wish him luck with the show.
DeleteRed Man cards look really cool. Bet they look great in person.
ReplyDeleteI wish I would've started collecting the Red Man's when I came back to card collecting, as they've gone up way too much for me since.
