May Card Show - Bargain Bin Blowout

Yesterday, I may have caught your eye with my 50 cent vintage pickups.  Well if you thought that was awesome, you are in for a treat today.  At the time, I thought the following pickups were so spectacular that I stopped shopping after I bought them, even though I still had half of my budget left.  I think you'll agree that what I was able to buy at the price I got is almost too good to be true...

At the same Bargain Bin as I discussed yesterday, I was able to land one of the newest Hall of Famers for $1. 

 

On top of that 1965 beauty, I found this gem for $2...


Two really nice cards of Hall of Famers from an iconic set for a whopping $3.  But wait!  I've just scratched the surface.  Now it's about to get really interesting...

For $3, that's right, I said THREE DOLLARS, I brought home this piece of awesome!

 

A 1961 Ernie Banks for less than the price of a pack of Heritage or Allen & Ginter.  I nearly died when I saw this in the bargain bin.

BUT WAIT!  There is still more.  How about these two scrubs for $3.50 a pop.  A POP.



Two iconic HOF third basemen for $7?  I think I just felt some palpitations.   BUT WAIT, THERE IS STILL MORE!  For the sickeningly low price of $4 each.  I SAID FOUR DOLLARS EACH came these two cards...


My chest is starting to hurt.  Unreal vintage at unreal prices.  BUT WAIT!  There is one more card to show.  


A second year Gibson for $5.  That's it, the heart attack is official.  I cannot wait for my next card show in June.  I will make a straight line from the front door to the Bargain Bin on the first day of the show.  Who knows what I'll find next!

Wow, I wish a bargain bin like that could pop up around here. I'd just about jump out of my seat if I found a '61 Banks for three bucks.

Very nice!

Wow. I really got to get to a card show or two this summer once the kids are out of school.

I'm with Nick! Those cards would cost a lot more at my local show.
KEEP ON COLLECTING!!
