Flea Market Finds #58: A Little Bit of Everything
When: Sunday, March 23rd
Where: Capitol Flea Market
What: A Bobble, a Figure, a DVD, and a Sports Card Album
How Much?: $19
I'm so bummed. I just woke up to the pitter-patter of rain drops hitting my roof... which means that there's probably nobody setting up at the flea market today. I guess it's a good time for me to share last week's purchases.
Purchase #1: Sports Card Album$15
I figured out that most of my readers collect baseball cards, so over the years I've adapted my blog to fit the audience. But it should be noted that I love watching football and enjoy collecting football cards too.
Last weekend, my buddy and I stumbled across a new guy with collectibles. While Mike was working out a price for a Joe Montanaautographed mini-helmet, I noticed this four-pocket mini album. The two cards that stood out were rookie cards of Bobby Mitchell and Earl Campbell:
There were also a bunch of football inserts from the 90's:
A pair of Shaquille O'nealrookie cards...
And a cool Michael Jordanparallel for my collection:
I already own at least one of these figures... but for a buck, I just couldn't pass it up.
Purchase #3: Cars DVD$1
My Japanese athlete shelf lacks variety. It consists of fourIchirobobbles/figures, a Hideo Nomo SLU, a trio of Japanesesoccer player figurines, a Chunichi Dragons mascot figure, and a 442nd G.I. Joeaction figure. So if I have the opportunity to add something to the shelf and the price is right... I'll probably end up doing it... even if the bobble head features a San Francisco Giant.
Well... that's all folks. I kept it under $20... so I'm pretty proud of myself. I recently screwed up big time on an eBaypurchase, so I need to save every penny I have. Stay tuned for the details.
Wait... I can't hear the rain anymore. I wonder if anyone decided to set up. I guess we'll find out.
Happy Sunday and sayonara!

The guy mentioned that this card used to be pretty valuable and it books pretty high. I don't really watch basketball anymore, but I'm always happy to add another Jordan to my collection.
Purchase #2: 2003 McFarlane Ichiro Suzuki Figure$1

Purchase #3: Cars DVD$1
Whenever I find cheap Disney DVD's, I'll usually pick them up for my summer school class. This one isn't new and the outside package is pretty worn, but the disc itself is in great condition.
Purchase #4: 2002 Tsuyoshi Shinjo Bobble Head$2
