Tampa card show April 2023 and The Villages card show too!

 The winner last night was: John Sharp.


Okay not a whole lot from the Tampa show again. I made 3 deals. One was a lot of FUN! Tried to make another deal, but the guy was just well I think he needs to retire, lol.













Okay the above was from two different dealers, but basically the same outcome. Fifty centers on average. Not a great deal for a lot of them, but some were a good deal. 


Now for the FUN deal.




Look at all of that unopened wax ready to be ripped. I forget now but pretty sure there were well over 40 packs. Mainly 2022 Bowman Chrome followed by 2021 Bowman. $20.00 and I got to keep the basket. I went over to my brother's house and we sat there and ripped them all, had a blast. I let him keep all of the cards except for the Chronicles and 3 Holiday SP variations. Great fun.


Now moving on to The Villages quarterly card show.

Again 3 deals. This first one was a set killer and a super deal.




The Vlad rookie was the key get here. Dealer was asking $20.00, but you know me, lol.



I got him to throw the Heyward auto rookie in for a grand total of...



$15.00 for both cards. As you can see I broke Vlad out of prison.


Deal 2 was $45.00 for the next 6 scans.














Not an overwhelming deal, but this is "kid" I've been buying from at pretty all of the shows. He sucks at buying baseball, he doesn't follow the cards very well. FB, and BSKT different story. I'm going to have to teach him how to buy bulk. So that I can get penny from cards :).


Last deal is 8 scans and the cards cost me twenty cents each.

















A lot of hit and miss here too.  Great news is that I am now on cards that I got THIS MONTH!

More more more and MORE!

 The winner last night was: SanJose Fuji!


Tonight we are hitting some dime boxes. These particular dime boxes come from a dealer who lives in Gainesville. They were actually out of quarter boxes with 2/3 of them coming out of .50 boxes. They total cost was a dime a piece. (probably a little less).























Spectra and Triple threads for a dime. I'm loving it!



Museum too!



The rest were pulled from the .50 boxes but still cost me a dime.







Slightly more Braves in those boxes. Muller BLCK auto for a dime, hehe.







Another Braves autograph.















Mesa auto!



More high end cards and a relic too. But.....




Plenty of other autos too. I may not of heard of these guys, but cheap....mine!



Plenty of them too. 

























Yeah the April show in Jacksonville was good to me. This post wraps up that show. Seems like I am catching up. Having this week "off" has definitely been boring, but I'm still a little "sick". I believe I will not hit shows up this coming weekend either. I may run up to that shop in Gainesville again to finish up the boxes I was going through. I haven't posted those yet, so maybe that's what will do the day after tomorrow. I am posting the Tampa April show and the Villages show combined tomorrow.  That way I will be starting the May stuff in May. Still a few weeks behind, but that is my fault. Like I said I am almost caught up.
