May card show in Jacksonville and the almost daily FREE baseball card giveaway contest!

 The winner last night was: Derek


Now As per my usual at the jax card show I stop by Fred's tables first.



Fred always takes care of me. This machine and all of the cards in the stack on the left was a whopping zero bucks. Nothing nada. He gave it to me. The card set is not complete and the machine plays, but it isn't working. Not sure what is up but everything appears to be functioning properly. I may have my nephew tinker with it, he is good with stuff like that. 



Grabbed this from Fred too, it is complete every sticker where it goes too. I grabbed a few Braves from him too, but I have put allof the Braves cards from the show together and they are below.











I picked up the program below from Daryl.



Great cover for sure. 

Tomorrow I will do either the Leesburg or the MeelyPops (Gainesville) cards to get them out of the way before finishing the rest of the Jax show cards.

  1. Nice pickups. I wonder if the problem with the SportsTalk is with the cards, not the player.

    Seems to be a lot of demand for those cards too, I picked up a few a while back and the dupes went pretty quickly.

  2. Never seen that Sports Talk thing. Is it supposed to read the cards and talk or something?

    1. Yes, it is like a tiny record player. The cards actually have a mini disc on them.

  4. Incredible find in the Milwaukee Braves yearbook. I think I still have a Twins program and scorecard from the late 60's.

  5. Those curious about the Sports Talk player, there is a youtube video -- or at least used to be -- that shows how it plays.

  6. That’s crazy that you still need ‘95 Stadium Club Virtual Reality cards.

  11. The 1989 Topps LJN Baseball Talk cards are really cool. I love how Topps utilized the longer size when choosing photos. I had to pay for my set... but free is way, way better.
