  • A Dy-no-mite Steady Eddie Rookie Card!

    Remember the $100 I made from my Craigslist sale? Well... after purchasing the 1978 Topps Burger King Detroit Tigers set, I was left with $68.50. Now it's time to show off my second purchase and I'm sticking with the vintage, oddball theme.

    If you grew up in the 70's or the 80's, then you're probably pretty familiar with the magazine, Dynamite. I remember ordering them through the monthly Scholastic book orders, because I loved their cartoons, activities, and of course the bonus posters.

    Recently, I stumbled across an interesting eBay auction for the April 1978 issue, that celebrated Mad Magazine's 25th birthday.

    Yup... it's an uncut sheet of 1978 Topps baseball cards that includes the Eddie Murray rookie card.


    Well... you know me and my love for oddballs and vintage cards. I plugged this auction into my sniper program and wound up winning it for $22.50 (+ $3.95 shipping), which leaves me with $42.05 left to spend.

    More importantly, it left me feeling like...





    Anyone else read Dynamite? Watch Good Times? Collect vintage, oddballs?


    Happy Tuesday and sayonara!
