Bought a box of cards and was very surprised to find these. Nothing insane, just cool to see inserts from when I was 12-14 years old, buying cards.

It’s always a thrill finding these out in the wild.

WOW that's some astonishingly good stuff for a flea market. Definitely love the Penny Fusion and Planet Metal, Duncan die cut, and a Pippen numbered refractor is pretty clutch too even though it's borderline blasphemous in a non-Bulls jersey haha. Well done OP!!

Very lucky. Sorted through a tub full of Non-Basketball (lot of 90 Donruss baseball)
This was just the cream of the crop. I got around 200 other lower end inserts (HOF, Rookies)

Not really flea market but this was in a shoebox in the garage that has somehow survived 3 moves in 10 years.

Sealed still https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200719/6e25f8396e8949830ed0b1fe2f23d6ce.jpg

Found more this weekend nothing crazy. But HOF 90s inserts are excellent. And Beam Team is always pretty to look at

Unless you're selling sealed immediately, highly recommend ripping and putting the KD in a proper penny/top loader. These sets slosh the cards around really easy and will kill the edges/corners. Lucky for you KD isn't on the front of this one

Thank you but I did sell it around the same time I posted

Thank you. I love flea markets because it’s not like the vendor wants to dig through all those cards so One can usually get them cheap enough.

Great stuff! Really like that Steve Nash New Edition card and I picked up a /3000 Hakeem from the same set as that Michael Finley. Really cool looking card aesthetic wise and I'm a sucker for all the career stats on the back.

Gotta love the old 90's inserts. So much artistry went into those designs rather than now just throwing a bunch of variations of shiny crap on a card.

Thanks to all and your comments.

Some more finds. Not mine. (My friend found em for 20$ a pop) well they’re mine now.
Now to open or not?
At 20$ each I definitely would. But now I’m debating at my price.

Bricking and sticking may be an issue but not certain, I haven't opened any of these. I guess if there aren't any issues you could get the Shaqs and Jordans graded for some value. Are beam teams in series 2?

Yes luckily.
I’ve actually been watching some breaks and some boxes didn’t even have a Shaq.
Maybe I’ll save em for a while and just buy a Raw Jordan Beam team

More flea market finds. (Well my friend found them and I bought them from him)

A lot of different sports. About 30 Dale Jr racing cards that I put in that forum already.
These are the big ones.

Francis Numbered Auto, Kobe Mad Game refractor.
The most surprising one was the Kidd Profiles. I saw it was numbered but had no idea how rare it was.

Couple fun football ones thrown in too.
As a young kid I always dreamed of pulling an autograph out of 1997 Sp authentic. While not a huge card it’s going in the PC.

I opened several boxes of 1992-93 over 10 years ago and they were bricked. I did manage to gem a base MJ. I do not recommend opening. BOL

Thanks for the tip. I have sold 3 so far. And the buyers have been opening them and they’ve been lucky at least because none have mentioned any problems with them. Also none have pulled a Jordan Or Shaq beam team.

Here’s the front.

Plus a few other goodies that were in the same lot. Fleer showcase is /1000. My first Lebron Rookie. The Mantle and Mays might be my favorite from the lot.
Keeping these for now.

Finds from today. 10$ for the 3. The seller also had a bunch of old baseball and some Lebron rookies. But wanted mint prices for cards I would be fine paying 10$ for.

Maybe I can talk him down next time.
