Found an Auction in Flint

Got word of an auction in Flint today, pretty solid spread of things (1902's to some current stuff) - autographs, memorabilia, quite a bit of vintage, Noddlers (precursor to todays bobble heads), some banks, pennants, you name it (low wax numbers but did have a 72 Topps Mini pack, and a few old empty boxes).

Went up as I saw they had a Boggs Autographed Bat (engraved 4 batting titles - so going to try and research this one as its not numbered, but figuring it some type of collector type/release bat. Maybe autographed after it was released but not sure right now. I didnt get it cheap, but even at 55 bucks (66 after buyer fees), really not like it will break the bank. heck Rickey Henderson autographed bat went for 75, and Mays and Aaron both sold under 125. Picked up a Will Clark Pro Model Autographed Bat for 48 out the door so was happy with that.

But below I'm very happy with. Resale is there but I'd have to work at it but for a $20 bid (24 total)

Cases:
2 sealed Cases of 1991 Star Pics Pro Basketball Prospects (twenty 72 card sets per case) - auto chances!
2 Sealed Cases of 1990 Star Pics Pro Basketball Prospects (twenty 70 card sets per case) - auto chances!

Boxes:
1992 Skybox AA Baseball (sealed)
1989 Donruss Baseball
1991 Stadium Club Hockey (sealed)

Sets:
2 Opened 1990 Star Pics Pro Basketball Prospects Sets (no autos)
7 1993 Classics Football Draft Picks Sets (100 card sets)
6 1989 Donruss Baseball Traded Sets
1993 Fleer Baseball Update Set (Sealed)
2 1991 Pro Set Soccer Sets
1990 Pro Set Golf Set (Sealed)
1991 Classic Basketball Set (Shaq RC)
2 1987 Topps Mini Baseball Sets
1990-91 Star Pistons Set Sealed (14 card)
1992 Classic Football Draft Picks Set (sealed /300K)

Roads went from marginal to start the day to down right poor. Highway got closed, had to figure out to get around. My normal 45 min trip took over 2 hours to get home.
