If I get to a show early, I hit up the deal boxes . I know a few dealers that always have a fresh box or stack, pile,Tupperware of new stuff . The ranges from 1$ to 5$ . I can't get enough !

I went to the National last year and I must have gone through 50+ dollar boxes. 1955 Topps VG High Numbers at a dollar a piece will always put a smile on my face!

Used to be a buck; now more like $10 and under boxes. I spend a lot of time at the National going through bargain boxes. I am fond of this find from one:

it is a good way to get rid of dead inventory or things you do not want from collections you buy. I have many times over the years covered costs from the dollar boxes and a few times at fValley forge
actually made some nice profits from dollar boxes or tables. |

Rookiwmonster -
I was half joking because I only do shows once in a while. Occasionally I do the show in Bordentown at the Ramada on Route 206 and once in a while the old Willow Grove show in the Valley Forge Casino. I will be trying to do more shows in the future. Robert |

Nothing pre-war yet, but probably my best $1 box pick-up was a 1993 Finest Eckersley Refractor.

I also seem to end up with a stack of really nice 1970s mixed sports dollar cards at every National. As far as I'm concerned a 40 year old card of a HOFer that I don't have and that grades an 8 or better is a great deal.

I'm 1 (big) card shy of completing my 59F Ted Williams set, and a good portion of my cards were $1 or $2 purchases.
