Spring Break is over. Tomorrow I'm back in the classroom. That means going to bed early tonight and allowing my body to adjust to my work schedule. So I apologize in advance for this short post, but I'm hoping to be in bed within the next hour or two.
When: Sunday, April 27th
Where: Capitol Flea Market
What: Pistachios and a Baseball Card Set
How Much?: $9
Purchase #1: 8oz. Bag of Tequila Pistachios$5
Not sure what the deal was... but there were a bunch of empty spaces at the flea market this morning. And since there were only a fraction of vendors... that resulted in a lot less collectibles to attract my attention.
But thankfully... tequila flavored pistachios saved the day. They were delicious and provided me with something to do while I walked around. Sort of like popping sunflower seeds into your mouth while waiting in the dugout for your at bat.
Purchase #2: 1992 Topps Traded Baseball Card Set$4
There were two people with sports cards this morning. One guy had a binder full of random cards I didn't want. The other had a tub of cards... most of which I didn't want. I did however find this traded set, which contains a Nomah rookie card, so I asked the gentleman how much he wanted.
He replied $15 to $20. I didn't bother finding out the exact price, because we weren't even in the same ballpark. On my second run through the flea market, I stopped by again. This time he offered it to me for $7. I told him I'd think about it as I popped a pistachio in my mouth.
On my way out, I remembered the set and went back to the guy. I offered him $4 and he accepted. Makes me wonder if he would have accepted that price the first time I talked to him.
Today's question of the day...
Happy Sunday and sayonara!

Which would you rather have? Tequila flavored pistachios? Or a 1992 Topps Traded set?
Happy Sunday and sayonara!
