It's Saturday, so that means it was Card Show day. I found a dime box to kick things off.
The box had lots of Twins from all over the decades.
But there were even more cards to choose from on other teams. Picked up a big stack for the player collections and some fun cards to send away to other folks.
Next up from the same vendor- serial numbered cards, a quarter each!
Pulled an even bigger stack of these cards, a lot of fun to dig through these.
Then things got a little crazy, as I found some off grade vintage for a steal.
This hi-number 1959 gets me one step closer to finishing the set!
Clyde Milan was a coach for the Washington Senators for this card, his nickname was given to him by Charles Albert Bender.
Last but not least was this Hall of Famer- look familiar?
It's Giants great Mel Ott! If I am not careful I am going to start building these Play Ball sets.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend, Happy holidays!
Great cards! That's a nice sandy koufax card.
ReplyDeleteQuite a haul. The Koufax and Kaline look very nice for "off grade" prices!
ReplyDeleteBoth had creases that escaped detection on the scanner, but I agree 100%, they had the all-important "eye appeal." Koufax was 75% off book, Kaline 50% off, and I made a few extra bucks off of that percentage by buying more things from the vendor today (and in the past).
DeleteHold on - that Koufax and Kaline are "off grade"?
ReplyDeleteBoth have creases and Koufax has water damage, not really visible from the scans. If I bought these online, I'd be disappointed, but in person I could see the issues before buying.
DeleteThe look on Parmelee's face is priceless. And the Kaline and Koufax are nice finds.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I picked the wrong day to not go to the card show! A dime box that had 2000 pacific invincible would have been fun to go through.
ReplyDeleteThe guy selling was a regular attendee of the monthly club show, but apparently he rarely sells cards, he's usually a buyer/collector.
