Saturdays at the Card Show: a Whole New "Ballgame"
Oh boy do I like deals - the kind where the more you buy, the more you save... It's not really true, ya know. The less you buy, the less you spend. But it sounds so good, I just can't resist.
Here's a little taste of the stack of unopened foil packs I picked up at .28 cents apiece. 28 packs for ten bucks! All from the late 90s and 2000.
There were some pretty great deals from the same vendor on singles - most of them I am sending out to other folks, so I won't show those...
The Vintage Guy is still in town, and he had some .50 boxes for me to dig through, and I also found a couple more 56 Topps to add to my collection:
Here's the grand finale, and why it's a whole new (Teddy) Ballgame
I got a great deal on this one, and I have made plans for the next show in two weeks to make another big addition to my vintage collection.
I love a good deal on unopened packs. That Williams is sweet! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteNice Williams, jealous of all those old packs.

ReplyDeleteIt has long been a dream of mine to own an authentic Topps Ted Williams. Looks like you beat me to it! You seem to have a lot of card shows up there around you.
ReplyDeleteIt's two shows that are very frequent - a medium sized monthly show, and a twice a month show that is small. We don't have flea markets, though!
Deletecool buy.... especially at .36 cents per pack.
ReplyDeleteJust like Nick, owning that Williams is very high on my want list. But I've never seen a beat up copy at a fair enough price. Very, very cool !
ReplyDeleteI've seen several Teds in much worse condition going for a lot more than I paid for this one. It pays to be a loyal customer! I think I got a bigger discount on it since I've purchased most of my 56 topps and 48 Bowman cards from that vendor.
DeleteGreat Teddy. That's my favorite card of alltim. I gave the gray back also... One of my next moves us to pick up the white back
ReplyDelete"The next show in two weeks" ... NOW THAT'S NOT FAIR!
ReplyDeleteIt's a small show hosted by a card shop owner, every two weeks all year long!
DeleteWe have a monthly show in the Twin Cities as well that is about 30 tables.
If you ever find yourself in Minneapolis, you'll have to check them out!
