A new dealer to experience in Clearwater.

 Winner winner....chicken dinner. John Sharp won last night. I apologize for posting late last night as I didn't get hone from Ormond Beach until 7:30 and I was starving so I ate first.

Now to finish up the Clearwater trip. I spent the entire day basically sitting in the same chair. I showed you the stuff from Justin, now from a new guy: Chris (apparently he sells on ComC too) according to his "biz" card. I checked him out there and he is a little more than others on that site which explains a little bit of how I made my deal with him before I started to dig through his boxes. Well, the boxes that he bought out for $1,100.00 the night before from the original seller. Chris was set up with 4 tables across from Justin and his "square". So Chris just left those boxes on the table where they were. Changed the prices from .25 boxes to 3 for a dollar (12 monster boxes), and then about 5 more monster boxes from 3 for a buck to 50 cents.

I told the guy that I was going to go through every card and I know me I will get at least 500 cards based on the number of boxes there. He hemmed and hawed for a minute and agreed to let me have the first group of cards from the 12 quarter boxes (now 3 for 1) for a dime each, but he wanted two dimes each for the last 5 boxes. I agreed and started digging. I came up with 521 cards rounded down to 500 out of the first dozen boxes. Like I said I know me. The last 5 boxes the twenty centers netted me another 200 cards. (actually was like 198). I spent $90.00 with the guy, wrote him a check kept my cash. 

Here are the HIGHLIGHTS ONLY from the "better cards .20er's". Just 3 scans.

I am very happy to pay twenty cents for Museum, Triple Threads, Cornerstones, and a late 90's Diamond King.

Now to hit the HIGHLIGHTS" of the dimes cards. (10 scans).

Msddux rookies for a dime.

Candy City cards for a dime?

There were almost two complete sets of the Coke Ryan cards. 

I do hope to do another Clearwater show, but my days of running all over the place every weekend are over. That was way too much. I couldn't keep up. I will make my way back so that I can actually look at what cards Chris had at his actual tables, and see what kind of a deal I get get going. I do feel that we will work it out and both be very happy. I get that from the guy. Might even get to the point where he calls me up and says hey I just bought a huge collection come down and take a peek. That is and has always been my way of getting bulk deals on the cheap. 

Speaking of bulk deals. I dun went and dun did it agin, two times. Last weekend in Jax, and yesterday in Ormond. Not sure how to set the field for what I did. I could rationalize it both ways, good deal and stupid idiot are you out of your mind.

I have the night/weekend to figure it out though. I will. You'll see next week for sure, just not both transactions together.
