Card Show Roundup

Whew! Another great day at the card show.

The Vintage guy hasn't moved yet, so I was able to add some more 1948 Bowman and some 1956 Topps to my collection:


The Carew game card and the Bert Blyleven are both part of a Twins Frankenset project I'm planning to start up soon, how exciting! There was no way I was going to turn down a '60s card with Banks and Aaron for under $10, either!

There was a guy selling some older packs of Flair and E-Motion cards, and I also snagged some super amazing non-sport packs (I don't know why - I don't collect non-sport stuff, but for some reason it just happened!) along with two packs of the new 2015 Donruss (which I will open at some later date and tell you all about...)

Finally, the LCShop that hosts the LCShow, was having a "moving" sale (that has been ongoing since they moved into the current location at the beginning of the year) of singles from all the major sports - I snagged a big stack of cards like so:
And these are just cards I plan on keeping for myself - I totally restocked the trade box with shiny, sign-y, and insert-y things.

Oh, and this didn't come from the show, but I ordered some 12-pocket pages (they were being marketed as Archival Sheets for matchbook collectors!) and now my 1948 Bowmans (Bowmen?) have a cozy new home!
The whole set fits exactly on four of these pages.

Right now my budget and the wantlist is big enough that I can sustain this pace of adding a ton of stuff at each show, but tax return money will soon be all gone, and I'll be saving up for a new adventure coming up this summer (which I will of course be blogging about), so enjoy this vicariously while you can!
