  • Flea Market Finds #20: A Smorgasbord of Stuff



    When: Saturday, July 7th
    Where: De Anza Flea Market
    What: A Conglomeration of Collectibles
    How Much: Guess & Win (See Below For Details)


    Purchase #1: Bo Knows Bo Hardcover Book




    When it comes to books, I'm not a big reader. If I'm lucky, I'll read three or four of them a year. In fact, I have three books waiting to be read on my bookshelf: Bonzai Babe Ruth, Mint Condition, and The Card. One of these days, I'll also find the time to get to know Bo.




    Purchase #2: 1994 Skybox Star Trek Cinema Collection




    I like Star Trek, but wouldn't consider myself to be a Trekkie. I made this purchase, because it seemed like a good deal. There are six sets in the collection and each set contains 72 cards. I could flip them on eBay for a profit, but in the end... I'll probably just add it to my growing collection of stuff I don't really need.




    Purchase #3: Kenner Starting Line-Ups




    You know me. I can't walk away from cheap SLU's... especially when they're in good condition and are hall of famers.




    Purchase #4: Baseball Card Grab Bags




    One look at these grab bags and you knew what you were getting. One or two cool vintage cards and a bunch of junk wax era cards in between. The price was right, so I bought ten.


    At the very least, I'll be adding some cool vintage to my binder. I'll post the results on Friday.




    Purchase #5: 1984 Marvel First Issue Covers Set




    I've been wanting to add this set to my collection since the early 90's when I started collecting the Marvel Universe sets. No holograms were included in this product, but it does have cards showing off the first issues of: The X-Men, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, The Incredible Hulk, and The Fantastic Four.




    Purchase #6: 1993 Fantastic Four #375 Comic




    There's something about the gimmick covers of the early 90's that I love. Two months ago, I targeted the Spider-man hologram covers. This time I grabbed a Fantastic Four Prism cover. It's not worth much (sells for around $3 to $4 shipped on eBay), but it sure looks cool.


    Well... those are my De Anza pick ups for July[COLOR=#666666].

    Happy Wednesday and sayonara!

        Me too! Can't believe the kind of deals out there. These things used to command big $$$.
