The winner last night was:
I wish it was a final wrap meaning the set was complete, but it is not.
I can't wait until every page is just like the one above.... full!
I went to the Jacksonville card show this past Saturday. I over did my budget for the day, but it was within the monthly budget so I will limit myself on Wednesday when I head over to Ormond. I only mention this today as I made several purchases one deal was not what I would call a good deal actually two were not, but several others were amazing deals. One of the great deals was a 5,000 count box. Was a guy I buy from 68 times a year from. It was ALL vintage, and he was selling them at a quarter a piece. TWENTY FIVE CENT vintage you read that correct. He knows I usually buy the whole box, and when I was flipping through them and just from the first two rows had pretty much all of the cards pulled I asked how much. He usually lets me get boxes from $40-80.00. He looked at me, and said that box? Really? I said yes seriously. I'll give you the details in the next week or two. We are talking 57-78.
I really like that Murray Dickinson card. Goofy! And that Aaron/Mantle card.... drool.
ReplyDeleteI always loved that all Star subset. Your Ditmar is really sharp, and the Furillo is a nice one as well.
ReplyDeleteOverspending but still great deals. I feel like I've heard this story before.. But it's never tiring
ReplyDeleteI made two bad deals. Three good deals that are actually great deals.
DeleteMusial, Spahn, and Mathews win this round.
ReplyDeletePre 80’s stuff for a quarter?!! That’s what I’m talking about!
ReplyDeleteI actually paid 4 cents a piece. (probably a nickel).
DeleteTell that quarter-vintage guy to travel to the northeast.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think I should collect the '58 set just to get a few more background colors since EVERY SINGLE DODGER IS YELLOW.
Nice progress on the set. Aaron and Mantle make quite a pair of history makers!
ReplyDeleteHerzog already looks like an old man here haha
ReplyDeleteThe Mantle/Aaron is always amazing to see. Can't wait to hear about all deals you made!
ReplyDeleteWow, I wish I could get a deal like that on vintage. Like Night Owl says, we don't have those in the northeast.
ReplyDeleteI wish there were real photo backgrounds on these but the blocks of color still look good.
5k count box full of vintage? Man... I'm so jealous.
