One thing I was looking for, or one type of thing, rather, was picking up some notable rookie cards for my collection. At the card show, I was able to do just that. I got several copies of a couple rookies with the intention of keeping one of each for myself and flipping the rest on for a small profit. That should tell you that I got these pretty cheaply.
I remember when the above Mark McGwire and below Roger Clemens rookie cards were really expensive. $50 each, if I remember correctly. My how the mighty have fallen. I got each of them for a few bucks each. I got two copies of each card. I already had one of each in my 85 set and now I have one each to put with my notable rookies.
Each card I got is in really good shape. If I were into it, I would consider shipping a couple off to be graded. However, I really don't care for grading cards, so they will stay in top loaders in my collection.
One card I found really cheap and am unable to explain why was the Kirby Puckett RC. It was the same price as the Clemens and McGwire. Oh well, I took advantage. I already had an additional Puckett RC, so the two I added at the show are sale able or trade able. They look good and I enjoy the retro Twins uniform.
This card I was able to get for $10. A 1962 Topps Joe Torre RC. This one if strictly for my RC collection and not for sale or trade.
I was looking for this specific card before I even embarked on the card show trip and was glad to find it at a reasonable price early on.
