Flea Market Finds #47: Mass Junk Wax Packs
The whole flea market fascination is slowly losing its lustre. For the past several years, it's been one of the things I look forward to each and every weekend. But lately... I'd rather sleep in, watch football, or sleep in and then watch football.
But last Sunday, I forced myself to get out of bed and head out to the Capitol Flea Market. It was nice to get out, breathe in some fresh air, and grab a little exercise. Plus I was able to find a few vendors with collectibles.
When: Sunday, October 20th
Where: Capitol Flea Market
What: Lots of Junk Wax & a Bobble Head
How Much?: $14
Purchase #1: 72 packs of 1992 Baseball Star Buttons$5
Three things attracted me to these packs:
#1: I had never seen these before.
#2: They're oddballs from the 90's.
#3: They were cheap.
Unfortunately, I didn't pull a single Tony Gwynn from the entire 72 pack lot. But for $5... I can't complain. It was fun to sit down in front of the television and rip into these packs.
Purchase #2: Yoda Bobble Head$2
I'm not going to lie. Every time I look at this bobble, I see Lord Voldemort instead of Yoda. But for $2, I couldn't pass it up.
Purchase #3: 277 packs of 1991 Upper Deck Domino's QB Challenge$7
Oh and before I forget, I was fortunate enough to stumble across these again:

That's not a typo. I found a guy selling a box full of these packs at a quarter a piece. I originally was going to buy 20 packs, but then he told me he'd sell the whole box for $10. I countered with $7 and he accepted.
If you're not familiar with this set, it's actually pretty nice and was the first football setUpper Deck ever produced.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you might want to skim through this post. In short, I came across these two autographed balls (Wally Joyner and Dave Dravecky) that a lady was selling for $150 each a couple of months ago.
It's no surprise that she hasn't sold them. In fact, the price has gone up the past two months. She now wants $200 for the Dravecky. Joyner fans can rejoice in knowing that she has kept the $150 price tag for that ball.
Happy Friday and sayonara!
