Thank you all so much for your kind words last night. I am lost in this big house right now. I still find myself checking the living room every thirty minutes and he's not there. I'm sure that will eventually go away as it did when my mom passed. Doesn't make it any easier though. I figure it will take me several months to clear the house then clean it real good before I am back home permanently. I will let you know when to start using my actual address for trading. It has been awhile since I received cards there. Posting pretty early today as I am heading north shortly.
Now let me talk about the card show purchases. As I mentioned yesterday I will be closing out the 4 box guy cards tonight. I bought the 4 monster boxes complete joke. I should have known as I also went through his dollar boxes and pulled a lot out. He charged me $60.00 for those (180 cards) ish. Basically, 3 for a buck. AS you will soon see these cards shouldn't haven't even been in his quarter boxes, more like a dime box. Although there were some nice cards that were worthy of the .33.
A bunch of telephone calling cards. Plenty of dupes too.
Nice Ripken shadow, remember those Saturdays?
The Pinnacle Japanese Nomo was a nice grab.
I didn't need the Sosa HR card as I completed it in the last year, maybe last 6 months. I just wasn't leaving it in the box. It was worth the .33 for sure.
Okay that extravaganza I mentioned will be pretty much everything else I have to post from the card show. Deal after deal after deal. Lots of them and damn good ones too.
Last nights winner was GTT (please e-mail me your address for some free baseball cards).
All Jackie Robinson cards are cool.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, appreciate you.
Maybe not your best deal but still a pretty good one. You've had so many fantastic deals that should make this one easier to take, you're still way ahead of the game.
ReplyDeleteI was burned with this guy especially on the boxes, but as you will be watching for the rest of the month.....I cleaned up REAL good.
DeleteSorry for the empty feelings. Hopefully remembering his life will help in the long run.
ReplyDeleteThat Mondesi Donruss card (I think it's Donruss) doesn't look familiar to me ... Yeah, a bunch of those should be a dime each.
ReplyDeleteI snagged it for you, lol. It is snazzy.
DeleteLots of nice cards there. What's the story with the card that has Lasorda on it?
ReplyDeleteV.J. Lovero was an Upper DEck insert set from wither 96 or 97, they're all awesome.
ReplyDeleteI never saw that Clemens Jays card before
ReplyDeleteDon't remember those Barry Bonds posing with legends holding a baseball card. BTW, got the prize cards a couple days ago, thanks!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your uncle, my friend. It's not easy, but hang in there.
ReplyDeleteMay not have been a gigantic score, but I still see a ton of cool stuff in here! Love those phone cards in particular - some of the quirkier oddballs ever made.
Lot of good stuff. I don't remember those Parade of Stars cards.
ReplyDeleteI've never lost anyone that I lived with, but have had that empty house feeling after the passing of a cat before. I would imagine that it's about a million times worse with a human, especially when that human was a blood relative, and will probably take much longer to get over. On the bright side though, you've got a lot of people pulling for you :)
ReplyDeleteSorry about your uncle. I have some of those Ultra Pro Stadium Club cards but never bothered o look up the checklist and now I kind of want all of them.
ReplyDeleteThe empty house thing made me think of my father when my mom passed away. When he's there by himself, he keeps the tv's on and has his cell phone continuously playing music to provide him company. Hope you figure out a coping mechanism that works for you.
ReplyDeleteAs for those cards, I've never seen those Stadium Club Ultra Pro cards. Need to track down a set of those.
they came in the bags of the pro pages back in the day. I remember them, I'm pretty sure I wound up with some dupes. If I remember when I get back I can check to see.
ReplyDeleteDidn't even realize UP pages came in bags. I guess back in the 90's, I bought most of my pages from card shops (which kept them on shelves or in those boxes) and not from retail stores.
