My son, wife, and I were able to hit up a new card show on Saturday. My wife did not want to sit at home alone, plus she wanted to eat at Chick Fil A. She is not a hobby veteran but also no stranger to cards. She was very helpful when my son and I split up after our initial walk-through. The show was close to 150 tables at a national guard armory. There was plenty of room to get around, but it was hands down the darkest room I have ever been to a show in.
We spent about 2 hours there. The first hour or so was looking through value boxes. A lot of quarter boxes with mixed sports. We only found 1 dime box, but it had some great buys in it. I will save the modern cards for another post. Today I will highlight what I bought from 1 vintage dealer. He had sets from the 1950s-1970s. The commons were arranged by number in binders. The stars and short prints were in 2-row boxes. Perfect setup for a team collector like myself. I went the cheaper route and stuck to the binders. Due to the poor lighting, my wife used her cell phone flashlight so I could see the card numbers and condition better. I pulled 32 cards totaling $79.50. The dealer gave me a deal for $70.
Start things off with some 1963 Topps. Not a crease to be found on any of these. Most have 4 good corners. About the only flaw is the centering on some of them.
I put a huge dent in my 1964 team set with these 15 cards. The Boyer has a very minor corner crease, and a few have soft corners. Once again, most are in great shape. A few bigger names in this group including Boyer, Bill White, Tim McCarver, and a Mike Shannon rookie card.
I cut my 1966 Topps needs in half with these 4 cards. All in great shape.
These are the last 2 cheap cards for my 1967 set. The rest are short prints or Hall of Famers.
