A nice find at an antique mall

Nice find! Hope it helps you along on your set building! What was your total spend on the lots?

Thanks, Mike -- the total for the lots came out to $77, but I asked if they could give a slight discount since I was buying almost everything they had. They asked me if $60 would work and I was very pleased with that total.

WOW! good for you and thanks for sharing!

I flipped through the 400-count box of '72s and my assumption was wrong - it's not pure commons. Has several stars and HOF players, including another Munson, but the best part is the 45 or so high numbers.

Now on to the '73s...

[BradH]

The two stacks of '73s produced two each of Clemente, Yaz, Rose and Sutton. Also has a 2nd-year Fisk. A few soft corners here and there, but as my grandfather would say, "good enough for who it's for."

A bit of a mixed bag with the '74s. Not a ton of star power, but there is a Mike Schmidt second year and a Dave Parker rookie. Lots of league leader and All-Star cards and a miscut Reggie.

Also, the second stack had a '74 Hank Aaron #1 (home run king) on top, but that turned out to be the only '74 card in the bundle. Everything else is 1976.

The '75s are in pretty good condition overall but a little light on star power. Some of the stars (Gibson and F. Robinson especially) have significant edge and corner wear. I already have these cards anyway, so not a big deal. No major rookies in this bunch.

The second stack of '76s revealed an obligatory Dick Pole and Pete LaCock, along with the Kurt Bevacqua bubble blowing champ card.
