I got this about 10 years ago at a now defunct card shop in Seattle for $2! 1958 Bell Brand Pee Wee Reese.



At another shop, around the same time, I bought a complete 1961 Golden Press Booklet with cards in perfect shape for around $35.

Oddly enough one of my best "flip" deals was this: I bought a box of 3" USFL pins from the retail shop closeout in front of Pacific Trading Cards in Lynnwood, WA. I got the box for $5 and there were probably 75-100 pins, maybe 10 different, lots of duplicates. I proceeded to sell a ton of those on ebay for anywhere from $5 - $30 each! I must have sold $300-500 worth before the auctions started getting minimal to no bids. I still have a few dozen of them buried somewhere that remained after I stopped selling them off.
