Got these 2 items from the flea market

 I went to one of the local flea markets this past Saturday. I made two purchases half way through the market (about an hour into the visit). Just 2, but very pleased with both.




A 1980's (early) ruler for my Presidential collection for a buck.


Next buy cost me 5x as much as the ruler, hehe.




1997 Wheaties Starting Lineup. The box opens up, but here is a look at the back of the box.



Inside front left side.





Inside right side. I haven't seen one of these before so very pleased indeed. I got the figure, the card, the coin, and the box (albeit the box is beat a bit) all for a Lincoln. (see how I tied the two items together, lol.


Have a great night folks!

    Nice finds. I totally would have handed over a Lincoln for that Babe Ruth SLU. I've never seen one of those Wheaties series figures... or even one of those cards. Congratulations!
