Tampa March card show: The beginning and don't forget the almost daily FREE card giveaway!

 Hello folks, how ya doin? Me....I'm doin just fine. Thank ya very much. BTW, got the newest COMC order in, let's bet I ain't gonna forget where I put this one. LOL!

Last night's winner was Tom (Angels in Order).


We'll start looking at the March Tampa show tonight. I will still be going scan heavy. I didn't make a lot of purchases in March at Tampa (or in April for that matter). I think 2 deals in March 3 and 4 deals at the April show. 




I needed this for my Conlon Collection. I am leaving this sealed. It cost $20.00. Good deal!







I picked up a lot of newer released stuff at that time. Ben Baller's, Gold Label, Bowman's Best, and the 2023 Topps. Now the stuff is not new anymore, lol.











That 2nd deal was actually 2 deals with the same seller.  I hav eno idea why I took every single Ben Baller he had. I don't collect them except for my Braves and PC guys. As many of you have received them in the past giveaways already. Now on the Bowman's Best. I figured I got the entire set, I didn't. I did get most of the base cards and nearly all of the prospects except the prospects were all refractors. UGH!. Normally I just collect the regular versions for that set build. For now, I am counting the refractors, in the set build and will slowly replace them with the base version as I pull them out of say dime boxes.


 


Two Braves relic cards here.










Okay that was the 2nd half of the 2 part deal at the 2nd purchase in Tampa back in March.  I think everything here tonight was sitting in a box where cards were individually priced between $2.00-5.00. If I am not mistaken my overall price for this portion of my deal was about a quarter a card. Good deal too. I really don't remember as it has been too long now. I know that I have the dime section to show yet. We'll do that tomorrow and wrap up that show.

  1. Yay!
    You grabbed some really nice stuff. I haven't been on COMC or Sportlots in years. Probably should revisit them.

  2. The Conlon's are pretty cool and those commemorative jersey cards are starting to grow on me.

  3. Just got that Grissom card yesterday. One of the better photos in the set.

  4. The Gold Label cards are sharp and the relics take me back to when they were more popular.

  5. At 25 cents a pop, I think you got a pretty good deal. If any of those guys like Grissom turn out to be stars, it could turn out to be a really good deal.

  6. Some of these sets I'm seeing for the first time, had no idea they existed. You're doing a much better job chasing down all your modern day Braves. I've given up, except for your basic sets you can still find in the store (Topps, Heritage, A&G, Stadium Club, Chrome, Bowman, Big League).

  7. Wish I could find bulk deals like you. And the 'new stuff that isn't new anymore', I really haven't seen much of that at all. Or Ben Baller either.

  8. Okay I like those Bowmans Best with the chromed out team logo in the background a lot more than I should. Though the Phillies logo does look like a giant question mark to me.

  9. In general, I don't like manufactured patch relics but those player number cards admittedly look good

    1. Whaaaat? Is it bad form to reply to myself? I just picked up the mail and there was an envelope with my recent winnings. And there was one of those relic cards in there! Thank you so much for your generosity! And all I have to do is comment on a blog that I'm already reading anyway!

  15. I stumbled across that Conlon folder at the flea market and it was really cool, but the guy wanted too much for it. Glad you were able to grab a sealed copy.
