Deals 2 through 4

This past Friday was D-Day. I didn't forget I just didn't post (haven't been posting on Fridays pretty much all year). I probably should have mentioned before publishing the Shadow Shots, but that was early in the morning. 


More recent: I took my grandson to Chuck E Cheese and Holy Cow! 30 minutes of play and a pepperoni pizza $62.00 NUTS.


I am going to jump straight to deal #4. If you remember, I had gone to this Webster show the day after going to the Sanford show where I bought those 11 full binders. Well, I didn't scan these or even take a picture, but I got 4 more brand new 3" books (empty), and they were not BCW brand, but still nice. The lady wanted $3.00 a piece, I offered $10.00 for 4 of them and she accepted. 


Okay now on to deal #2: 2scans, but man are they doozies.




Fifteen Desert Shield cards for $20.00. The guy was asking $40.00. I said I'll give you $20.00 in a jokingly kind of way, and he quickly said why not....it gets rid of them. I know there aren't any superstars, but wowzers.



Deal #3: 4 scans. The following were in 2 large dime boxes. There was a sign that said 100 cards for $8.00. I grabbed 300 mostly for set builds or at least I hoped they would be. TONS of Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary from 21' & 22".











These are just the typical cards I pulled besides the TCPA cards which I did need a handful of those which is cool especially at eight cents a piece.


Have a great week.

  6. A. Oh man. $62 for 30 minutes and a pizza? Inflation is crazy. I just found a cup of unused tokens a while back, but my students told me they don't use them anymore :D

    B. That Desert Shield lot was a nice find. Congratulations!

    1. A)Yeah, they quit the tokens a while back. I actually was disappointed because I had started trying to collect the different years on them. I probably have a couple dozen or close to it...somewhere , lol I get it though it makes sense. They now use wristbands or cards.
      We ordered another pizza last night (again) this time from Hungry Howies...Large pepperoni $8.59 out the door and it was so much better. Apparently the inflation is subjective, lol.
      B) Desert shield is one of those sets I am building that I will NEVER complete, go figure the biggie is a Chipper so I need 3 of them :(
