The second trip (there were 3 in 5 days) was on a Friday. I had decided before I got there to go through all of the baseball cards in the wooden bin. I did that, and it cost me a few dollars. I was most excited about a near set of loose singles for the 1980 Laughlin set. I was thinking the $1.00 price on the majority of them was good and few others at 2, 3, and a couple were $5.00. Turns out that I had it wrong, lost my shirt on the batch. The condition was not great, and turns out you could get nearly any of them for less than a buck NM. Oh well. Here is what I got from the set.
That is what I got. 26 of the 40 cards. I did already own 3 all of which were in much better condition than these. I was so excited about this set until I got home and did some research. UGH! Good thing I got a slew of other cards too. I'll do one more post from the 2nd trip exclusive and are PC guys (7 scans), and then one combined post with the remaining cards and the only cards I bought on the third trip. I picked up a lot of Braves "stuff" on that 3rd trip and will take 5 posts to cover that material.
Have a great night!
Very cool indeed.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I do like that Famous Feats set. Only really interested in the Dodger connection though.
ReplyDeleteNeat comic renditions. Fun change from usual cards. Enjoy the night all!
ReplyDeleteA. Great looking cards. I'm a big fan of the Laughlin artwork.
ReplyDeleteB. I feel your pain on the "overpaying" thing. I bought a couple of items at the flea market last Saturday that I should have researched before purchasing. Oh well... win some... lose some. The good news for you is that you always find great deals, so you're totally winning.
Anytime I can pick up Laughlin cards cheaply, I'll do it!
