The Greatest Dime Box Ever? Flea Market Round Up VII

Ah, living in Florida can be glorious sometimes friends. Baseball is everywhere you look this time of year and the weather is perfect. Also there's always plenty of flea markets to hit for the collector on a budget (me)

 I had to drop my wife off at a class yesterday and had some time to kill so I made the drive out to Oldsmar Flea Market and boy am I glad I did. The first vendor I stopped in to see if he had penny sleeves and pages and when he was pointing me in that direction I spotted a shoe box marked "10 CENTS"

The rest is history. 

Paper loss? I know what club Drysdale played for those years. 

I didn't realize till I took a picture of this that it's signed!

My three favorites, Joe Morgan rookie cup!

The variety was crazy. This isn't everything either I grabbed something for most of you as well.

Sorry I'm letting the cards speak for themselves, I really have no words other than I think I got the deal of a lifetime. 

Flea Market Round Up Pt. 3

As is every Saturday I woke up and asked my brain what it wanted to do. Well my brain is rather predictable and I ended up at the flea market as per usual and found myself on the garage sale aisle.

Where I saw this '61 Spahn staring at me from its glass case prison amongst Penthouse magazines, cigar boxes and old zippo lighters. I asked the gentleman how much and got nervous when he reached for his dusty Beckett behind him...

I acted quickly and picked up this well loved '53 Mathews and he put the book down and started to tell me stories about Eddie. We talked for a while about the Braves and other baseball legends and eventually he told me I could have both for $8. Which for me was plenty fair for my first vintage Spahn and this fine piece of art 

Moving further down the garage sale aisle,  which I don't usually go down, I found a large box marked 5/$1 which I began to pick thru and plucked this trio of O-Pee-Chees.

Also grabbed the Braves big three but in the wrong uniforms out of those same boxes. The Glavine is a refractor and the Smoltz just looks wrong to me. 

Also snagged these 3, the Konerko is up for grabs if anyone wants it. I always thought he was a White Sock for life. The Kevin Brown cards were just too goofy to leave behind. 

What's the point of a Flea market if you don't pick up a couple of oddballs. These 2 are up for trade as well.

Ooooh shiny, that Neagle is blinding.

Keeping this one short like my trip to the flea market this week, I'll close it out with a couple die cut Chippers I picked up from those same five for one boxes. 

RIP Monte, pulled this from a pack back in July.
