Closed the month by going to a card show today. Only 1 dealer I saw had vintage. About half of the others were new, shiny, autographed, #d stuff, none of which I want anything to do with. The other half were sealed retail wax. Again, nothing I want to deal with.
So I chose to spend my money with the vintage guy.
Added a nice Mantle for $40. I know it's not a mainstream Mantle (base regular card) nor in good condition (probably Ex), but for $40 any Mantle from his playing days is a good deal.
Also picked up a few 62T stars for the set I'm working on. Paid $15 for the 2 Maris cards and $2.50 for each of the others. I knew I was in trouble when the guy broke out his Beckett magazine to give me pricing. But I stood there and took it like a man, haha.
Anyway thanks for the look.
