Well before I kick off this main portion of this post I wanted to make a comment regarding this current "artic blast". Most of you know that I live in central Florida, north central to be more specific. We are actually expecting at least an inch of snow tomorrow. Okay that tidbit of amusement is over. I am planning on driving over to Ormond (hadn't been in a while and the card show this past Saturday was a total SUCK). Keep in mind this is the one show in that area that I liked. But last month the show promoter from the St Pete show took over the Clearwater show. Not good for me. 90% HIGH End Pokemon. Yeah Pokemon, and the 10% that wasn't was predominantly slabbed stuff, again nope. I did manage to dig through a few boxes so that I didn't come home empty handed. I spent $20.00. I'll get to those eventually. Tonight, I am picking back up where I left off on Friday..... The Tampa show that got me sick. The 2nd deal/purchase or purchases.
Box one got me 148/198 and 213/784. 27%.
Box two got me up to 175/198 and 318/784. 40%
This dealer had some odd ball stuff.
he had a bunch of Santa Clause cards.
The timing of this post wasn't planned, but he had a deck of Trump cards I hadn't seen before. The pics above are the only ones in the deck so I just showed you those. The rest of the cards were normal playing cards.
That was deal 2. Like the first deal I was satisfied with the gets.
I also bought some stuff from Justin (BTW) he came to my house last week, and talked me into selling him some cards from the garage. He spent a good bit, but it didn't put a dent. Can not even tell I got rid of anything. Anyways, I bought a bunch of cards he had in his dollar boxes and got for a quarter. I'll do them on Thursday. I also bought two binders of mainly crap from a couple of kids trying to unload the stuff, but none of the dealers were giving them the time of day (they were helping their dad at HIS tables). I gave the kids a little for the binders and I'll post up some of those highlights Friday night.
Be safe (I'll try to drive careful in the snow....lol).
Use caution on snow. We had 26 degrees below zero last night!
ReplyDeleteA. Stay warm (and safe). Snow in Florida? That can't be an annual thing, right?
ReplyDeleteB. 784 different stickers? Holy cow. That is quite the set build. I wonder if all six boxes would have given you one complete set (of the 784 variety).
1) not annual- snows near me every 4/5 years, not much. This storm is pretty bad, already NW Florida (panhandle) got 6 inches and probably higher in some spots. Typically when it snow here where I am, it doesn't stick melts immediately, this time it's sticking. heck even Orlando might get flurries tomorrow.
Delete2) All of the Topps mini stickers have about that many. Most "cards/stickers" have 3 players on each. The "backs" come in about 10-12 variations of the pairing on the front with each player getting a number, the 784 comes from the variations obviously. TCDB will say it is complete if you have the 168 or 169 whatever it is card backs.
