love that 1940 pass Mike !!! great

I attended another local card show today. One of the dealers (Eddie) who sets up at our regular show opened up a brick and mortar store and of course I want to visit and support. But it's way on the south side of Jacksonville and almost an hour drive for me. But today he had an in store card show, and needing some supplies anyway, it was time. All the guys set up I've seen before so nothing there, but I find Eddie, and compliment him on his great card store. The space is huge, giant screen TVs everywhere. I never buy anything from Eddie he just never has anything I need.

Anyway he says the magic words I haven't heard in years "I've got a couple monster boxes in the back I haven't gone through yet". Of course most is junk wax era stuff but I find over 100 cards to restock my doubles box mostly 1970 1971 Fleer World Series baseball cards. And somehow, stuck in the middle of all those cards was one of the three 1972 Topps football high numbered cards I need for my set #308 Earl Morrall:)

So today I picked up over 100 cards for my dupes box (some 63 Post and Jello baseball cards too), twelve 800 count storage boxes, twelve packs of 100 count soft sleeves, and a needed 1972 Topps hi number Earl Morrall for $48 plus I had to pay tax LOL!

Always fun to thumb through cardboard!

Wtg on the score. Would be nice to have local brick and mortar to walk in down here.

Ok, so how could someone have decided to put that in 25 cents bin? ?

25 cents? It's just unfair how lucky LuckyLarry is!

Nice examples of this card eBay BIN $40-$45 so I would place the "full book" price for this card at $2. The dealer probably did not even know what card he was placing in the .25c bin, all he saw was a torn up 1954 scoops card. Plus sometimes I do get "lucky" LOL!

Nice snag, Larry. Sometimes all of that diligence pays off with a find. And this is one of them.

A signed program by Don Steinbrunner (April 5, 1932–July 20, 1967) who was one of only two American professional football players to die in the Vietnam War.

Thanks for posting this Rev, the other player was Bob Kalsu and its appears neither had a regular football card. It was worth taking the time to google search these guys with Memorial Day closely approaching.

I thought this RPPC was interesting in that it is an integrated college team in 1909:
