Usually, when I attend a card show over the weekend, I try to post the recap early the following week. That was not the case after my son and I attended a show on February 10th. It took a few days to sort the cards, and then I set them aside when getting to incoming trades. A month went by, and the cards were still on my desk waiting to be scanned. Thanks to the rain last night, I finally scanned them and filed them away.
This show was advertised as 200 tables. That was accurate, but a good 20-30 of them were Pokemon only. I have no problem with that, other than the fact those tables were scattered throughout the show floor. It would make more sense to have them in one area. I was on the hunt for ungraded vintage Cardinals and bargain boxes. The vintage was either graded or priced too high for my taste. The bargain boxes were ok. Most were $1, but I did happen to find a dime box in the last row. Wish I found it sooner. It was loaded with nice inserts and some parallels. I spent a total of $12 at the show, $10 with the dime box dealer. I will spare you the trade bait scans. A decent chunk of it has already been traded, anyway.
These 2018 A&G cards are the glossy hot box parallels, my first from that set.
Not too many refractors in the box, but I managed to find a couple of 2022 Topps Chrome Cardinals I needed.
There were several different colored parallels across several brands. The orange Big League is a great-looking card.
Not too many numbered cards in the dime box. I did find a Gold Label numbered to 500 and a 2002 Donruss Best of Fan Club insert numbered to 300.
Hard to go wrong with a couple of legends for a dime each. I have never seen the 1992 RBI Magazine Ozzie before.
This 2021 Finest Carlson is the design variation. Not really rare, but still a cool dime card.
My favorite thing to find at card shows are dime boxes filled with inserts, parallels, and oddballs. Great stuff.
