January Pick Ups

[bnorth]

Just got this collection delivered. Mainly junk era with some 60's & 70's stuff in the binders. Will have several hours of fun looking through it all.

Looks like a lot of fun ! I recently pick up a few boxes of 80s and 90s stuff my son and I enjoyed it .

Was looking through my new pile of cards and found these 2 cool Jose Canseco color variations.

LOL, already his. Soon as I found them I sent him a email with an offer for 1 of them that he could not refuse.

My wife hates it because of the space they take up but I love buying lots like this. There is always cool stuff to be found. Because of the 2 Canseco color variations I am expecting to find more 90 Fleer with the same problem.

My son went to visit my exes father in law several months ago and was dropped off with a stack like this. Turns out he was suckered into investing in a card shop during the boom and took a ton of it home when the doors closed. He thought my son would be great to pawn it off on. My wife lost her mind.

In other things, that USA shoe box in that photo bought back some old memories. We had little money growing up and there was an unwritten rule that no shoes could exceed 10-15 bucks. Those USA olympic shoes were sold by JC Penneys till the early 80s and were a poor Adidas ripoff. They were all I was allowed to buy till about 85. I still remember being made fun of for having this those shoes.
