Flea Market Finds #32: Sports Memorabilia Smorgasbord
When: Saturday, March 2nd
Where: De Anza Flea Market
What: A Medley of Memorabilia
How Much: $37
Last weekend, I set up as a vendor for the first time in a while and ended up with around $40 in sales. Unfortunately, I spent most of it on a variety of acquisitions.
Purchase #1: My Buddy's Two Dollar Bin$14
One of the guys I set up with had a table with a bunch of knick-knacks. It's hard for me to walk away from cheap boxes, so I grabbed the 1991 Collegiate Collection Florida Seminoles box and a 1987 Topps Sticker box. He also had a bunch of bobble heads, so I grabbed four 2001 Upper Deck Play Makers Ichiros and a 2002 Billy Martin minor league SGA (not pictured).
Purchase #2: My Buddy's One Dollar Bin$14
He also had a bin with magazines, photos, and a bunch of other flat items. As soon as he told me everything was a buck, I started digging. Here's what I grabbed:
2001 Ichiro All-Star Cachet
A Bunch of Magazines
1988 Grenada Stamp Sheets
Randy Jones Autographed 8x10
Purchase #3: 1978 Topps Three's Company Sticker Set$4
This was one of the greatest television shows from my childhood and there was no way I was walking away from this set. Suzanne Somers is all over this set. She appears on twenty-seven of the forty-four stickers. Unfortunately, while most of my friends preferred Chrissy, I always had a thing for Joyce DeWitt.
Purchase #4: 1999 Jim Plunkett SLU$5
Here's the newest addition to my Stanford Cardinals PC. I've been looking for this figure for awhile now and thought about buying one on eBay. I'm glad I waited. Some people will say that $5 is way too much for a SLU... especially a 1999 figure. But the fact is... it would have cost me $5 in shipping fees alone.
At the end of the day, I never ended up finding the "Wow Factor". However, I walked away with a few nice additions to my PC. I'm especially excited to from the Randy Jones photo and hang it up in my office.
Happy Saturday and sayonara!
