The following were all dime box pickups, mostly from the same table. Here they are, presented with minimal comments as again, lots of cropping left me short on time.
I didn't know anything about this Ronaldo Rolando Roomes card other than I didn't have it.
I couldn't pass up these Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins cards, especially the oversized, 5x7 Donruss Champion card.
Speaking of Hall of Famers, here are a couple of new-to-me oddball Andre Dawson.
A pair of base Lee Smith cards and a pair of Fleer oddballs.
A couple Red Barons.
I never noticed the funny looking bat on the Rafael Palmeiro Rated Rookie and it was a definite upgrade to the one I had. I thought I had the 1989 Fleer card with Will Clark but it wasn't with my team set. Glad I picked it up because it didn't look recenty familiar from adding my collection to Zistle.
This is another card I had never seen before and know nothing about, but it never hurts to add a new Mr. Cub to the collection, especially for a dime!
An octet of 1984 Donruss, all seemingly pack fresh. Half were new to me, the other half definite upgrades.
The worst condition card I picked u was this 1975 Bill Madlock with the All-Star Rookie cup. I'm pretty condition sensitive but I couldn't pass it up for a dime.
A bunch of Cubs from 1974. Sorry, but that Glenn Beckert counts as a Cub for me!
My son really enjoys Carlos Villanueva's Rollie Finger's styled mustache so we picked out a few Rollies from the dime boxes too.
And last but certainly not least, the oldest card I picked up all weekend, and still just a dime:
1967 Topps Curt Simmons |
Thanks for following along this week and letting me show off my card show pickups. Hopefully you enjoyed seeing the cards even if they were mostly Cubs. I hsould have the rest of the packages out today or tomorrow so look for similar cards but from other teams around the blogosphere soon!
That's a nice picture on the Hodges/Banks card.
