Observations from a yard sale - 80s/90s junk cards

[Yoda]

Those guys have the fever real bad.

Interesting. I had a similar yard sale in about 2003. Advertised BB Cards. A log of Upper Deck 89-92, Stadium Club etc. Not a single person asked about or even looked at them. Off to Goodwill they went.

This weekend I went to a Yard Sale that had just started. As always, I asked if they had any old BB cards. I always ask, and have had some success with 60/70s BB Cards. Keep in mind the sale had just started. They said no cards and I was the second person to ask. That has never happened before.

I've seen stuff like this a few times. I think it may be a combination of gambling addiction and lack of knowledge.

I think this is 100% gambling. There are dumpster divers that will go out there and spend $10 on a mega box without even looking through it hoping for a hit or a mistake so I guess that’s their way of gambling. The guy asking for a discount if he bought a bunch that’s Funny they are already a penny apiece.

That's fairly common.

Now, if he was buying one card asked for a discount, that would be funny.

But they are only worth two for a Penny (or less) :-)
