Back to Jacksonville: May edition

 The winner last night was: Jafronius


Now let me show you some cards that I was hoping would be dime cards that I picked up in Jax. in May.



I got these from Justin the new young dealer making all of the rounds (the card shows) all over the place. He is less informed when it comes to baseball, but is on the sport with the other sports cards. I am going to have to show him how to buy cheap baseball cards in bulk so that he can "spread" it around. I wound up paying 17.5 cents each for these, way more than I would have any other place or dealer. 

I've already explained it to him (at the Clearwater show), and he tested the waters and went and made a deal for a modest bulk buy (not dime cards by any means). He did pretty good, and on the sport I bought half of them and paid him what he had paid for the entire lot. He did good there, so we'll see how it goes in the future.












Now I move on to cards that I picked up from Fred's table but were Kyle's cards and not Fred's.













And look, there were Braves in the mix too. Not many, but enough for a scan.





I think Fred charged .50 cents a piece on these, been awhile and I'm not positive.

This get the May Jax. show all done, and I can move on to the remainder of the May pick ups which is awesome. Clearing all of those scans out feels good.... real good.

  1. Hey I had that Gonsolin blue in my COMC cart and then my cart was magically cleared -- I hate when that happens. Gonna have to reload.

  12. That ‘94 ToppsGold Ryan would’ve had me and my 11-year old friends thinking we were millionaires if we had pulled it in 1994.
    I think I got the ‘23 Topps Gold Luis Robert out of a pack of ‘23 Topps earlier this year.
