Howdy! I decided not to go to Tampa today, and for good reason. You see.... I went back to Grand Slam yesterday. My intention was swing by the shop for 20 minutes and then to grab a bite to eat (drive-thru). Yeah, the shop owner had bought a dealer out, and he had 200 of those monster boxes. Needless to say, I wasn't out of there in 20 minutes. I looked through the 6 boxes they had out in the shop. Filled a 3 row box up 2 hours later. meanwhile the manager Shawn (Sean) made me an offer on a quantity of the boxes in the back. I did my thing negotiated a bit and got the price per lower. Most of the boxes were 4 row and then 5 row. There were some 3 rows too, but I steered away from those for obvious reasons. I now have roughly 21,000 baseball cards and about 1,200 FB and BKB to do some sorting. If you do the math based on those numbers you come up with 2 cents. I have done the preliminary sort whereas 3K were wasted on Topps Flagship that I certainly don't need. Another 3K were wasted on brands that I have no intentions of building those sets. Now if you calculate the 15K for a cost per card and now we are at a smidge over 3 cents each. No, I won't be scanning a whole lot from this purchase. I will probably make up a 2 or 3 short posts highlighting cards certainly worth less than a nickel.
Now....let us see what is in the shadows.
I see a golden retriever jumping over something.
Have a great weekend.
Wow - one of these days I'll have time to sort through 21,000 cards! For now I can barely get through about 40 or so!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of cards! I see a Long-Nosed Gar, a basketball player making a lay-up, and a bat. Enjoy the weekend all!
