Vintage Stock Purchase Surprise

no10pin · 09-26-2015, 01:53 PM

So we were wandering around a shopping district today, and we went in to Vintage Stock. It's always cool to look around, even if most things are overpriced.

I went to the card area to look at the 2013 Archives Football for $4.99 a pack when I saw some actually reasonably price vintage cards. I looked at a few of them, and upon closer inspection some did have creases, but I bought this one. A little bit of a rough edge, but pretty decent shape otherwise.

The lady I was talking to was apparently the one who had bought out someone's collection, because she said she had a 3200 count box about half full of cards from 61-68. With very few exceptions, everything was marked at $1. I wasn't expecting much based on previous experiences looking at cards there, but I found some really nice stuff. Everything below was $1 each except the Mantle which was $5.99. A few creases here or there, but most are decent EX to EX-MT shape.

Team Cards

Multi-Player & Leader Cards

Rookie & Rookie Trophy Cards

Other Single Player Cards

Probably the best $60 I've spent on cards in a long time!
