I usually get to the point in a long show where I sit down at the nickle or penny boxes. I pull any former Marshall University players (you find a lot of Troy Brown and Carl Lee but may occasionally trip into a Pennington or Leftwich). If it's anything that remotely interests me like regional issues or players I like from a set that I for some reason didn't collect, I get it. There are few things you can enjoy that you can buy for a penny.

Before the advent of price guides, I would always check out dealer tables for 1957 Topps commons looking for Bakep. In 10 years of searching commons, I found 2. Still satisfying when you ask for a discount from the dealer's common pricing.
So I guess, it's still sort of the same thing.

Years ago I had a case of 12,000 junk commons, remnants from my days as a dealer. It was a horrible mix, with several groups of 100+ cards of a 1987 Topps common player for instance, and all cards were 1986-1991. Poor variety junk.
I described it as junk, sold it on ebay, the shipping cost at least as much as the cards, and when the buyer received it, he complained. He said he understood it was junk, but didn't realize how bad it was until he found the 900 Mike Maddux (not brother Greg) 1989 Fleer cards..... But then, a couple days later, he wrote back and said never mind, he was quite happy with his purchase. He'd found a small stack of 20 1990 Sammy Sosa Upper Deck cards that I hadn't been aware were in there.
