This is the season of garage sales, so who knows what treasures lurk just waiting to be found by you. The only baseball card related item I found was a stack of 1987 Topps Tippy Martinez cards. I passed. I already had five at the time. As much as I love me some Tippy, even I have limits.I know people find good stuff all the time. I just haven't experienced that pure bliss for myself, yet.
How many people would pass this box over not knowing what was inside? If you didn't read what it was, I could see someone thinking the contents had something to do with the circus or popcorn. I could see someone who glanced at this dismissing the box as unimportant.
One day, I'll find a bargain like this. Until then, does anybody have any good stories on finding good cards for a bargain in unexpected places?
