It is 18" x 24"...

Here are some of most recent finds:

It was a 3XL I believe. It has a few marks on it that I need to work on removing. Hopefully they'll come out or I'll just have to move it cheap

TwinGnats · 07-07-2014, 06:35 PM

Maybe it would fit...could you give me pit to pit and waist measurements and a price. I'm not picky about marks.

Found this pretty sweet 49ers shockwave starter strapback today

Patsfan · 07-08-2014, 05:24 AM

Building off of the good shipping scale question asked earlier, I am looking for a good recommendation from those of you that have one of a good shipping label printer. Any suggestions ?

TwinGnats · 07-08-2014, 08:38 AM

I've yet to find a shockwave (found a black one but yours is more collectible) or a sharktooth. Both are highly collectible. I haven't even found any of the simple script hats that people are after.

I bought a Kodak printer (don't remember the model # off the top of my head)
Because it had the cheapest ink. I usually print on regular paper and tape it to the box.

Yea I don't come across them either, actually I think this is the first vintage starter snapback I have found

I guess I can do that with the printer I have now but I'm really looking to get one with the peel able labels to make easier and quicker.

Devi8or · 07-08-2014, 01:07 PM

I stopped at our local Thrift Shop yesterday to look for golf stuff and decided to browse a little to kill time. I noticed that there were about 4-5 Authentic Virginia College baseball jerseys for sale there. All stitched, with the ACC logo on them. I would have picked them up, but unfortunately my Goodwill is smarter than most of yours lol. They have them priced at $39.99

I hate it when my Goodwill jacks up prices to crazy amounts. I can understand some things that they do it on, but sometimes I look at item and the price they assigned and I am totally baffled.

TwinGnats · 07-08-2014, 01:28 PM

That's the problem, they're not smart. Pricing them over eBay just guarantees they sit. When the merchandise sits and it's expensive, people won't donate. It's a vicious cycle for them.

I have a lot of Goodwills around me and the pricings varies. When I go into the higher priced ones (nothing is even that high, more like $7.50 for a Ralph Lauren Polo on a tag sale) will still be there from a couple months ago. Whenever I see a Culpepper jersey for $15 I know there isn't any point going to that one again.

Oh yeah I know, I was kidding. Those jerseys are gonna be sitting on that rack for awhile.

Yep, there is a BIG goodwill store in Walnut Creek and it has tons of nice polos and button down shirts from Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren, etc. but they are all $7.99-$9.99 so they sit on the shelves. I mean I'm sure they still sell a lot oft he nicer shirts to people who want to wear them, but I'm sure a big part of their business are people who want to flip, and at those margins it's just way too slim.

That's how the Savers is near me. I just bought a bunch of Ralph Lauren shirts, but they were each $6.99 to $8.99.

I'll see if I can get $20 plus shipping for them. If not, I'll go to $15. My mindset is more Wal-Mart than anything else. I'll take less margin for faster turnover. Each turnover is money I didn't have before, so as a hobby to afford baseball cards, I don't mind taking less per piece.

Patsfan · 07-08-2014, 05:25 PM

Hey guys, I was getting ready to list this stuff but Im kind of lost right now when it comes to video game stuff. Any suggestions on what I should list this stuff at ?

I am going to sell the DS stuff together and the three N64 items together and then the Golden Tee plug and play by itself.

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

roro17 · 07-08-2014, 05:28 PM

Picked these up for $7 total

HeritageHoarder · 07-08-2014, 07:44 PM

Hello all,

Was inspired by reading this thread from the beginning and began my own hunts today. Stopped in two Goodwills. One is seconds away from my office and the other about 10 minutes form my house. Here is what I picked up today for a grand total of $23.05. How did I do? With finding the first item for $8.49, I think I did VERY VERY well. Anyone with any ideas on what I can ask on the Rogers jersey?

2003-2004 New Jersey Nets Rodney Rogers Game Worn Jersey

Vintage Mid 90s Georgetown Warmup

Lacoste Size 7 Polo

2 Tommy Bahama 100% SILK Button Ups

Jeremy Roenick 2003 SGA Bobblehead

Philadelphia Kixx John Barry Nusum Championship Trophy Bobblehead (Semi-Rare from the research I have done)

gowizards0 · 07-08-2014, 09:24 PM

Wow you killed it^^^
I found a game worn maryland football jersey of some no name and got 100 for it

Based off ebay I'd ask around 200 for the rogers

Thank you! If I got nearly $200 I would be thrilled! Very sad story about Rodney Rogers though and what happened after his playing career.

Packer4Rob · 07-09-2014, 08:48 AM

Hi, great finds, you should do really well. I am kind a bit nieve on jerseys, especially basketball. Is it the tag that on the Rogers jersey that identifies it as an actual game jersey worn by him or is there another way of telling? Good luck with this "hobby"...its kind of more becoming an obsession for me.
