Will post descriptions later:
Andy Benes Minor League Auto
Does anyone know who this is? He looks familiar is the reason I bought it. Updated: Greg Brock thanks to some of the board members. I knew he looked familiar.
I got two of these
Curt Flood Auto
I got two of these. It's a post card type card with a sign up form on the back for organ and tissue donation.
Sportsflics type Mantle disc. 4 1/2 inches across with a blank back. Anyone have any ideas where this came from?
Tiger Woods rc. I would say in Excellent condition. Seller wanted $10 for it but I looked at it for about 5 minutes and offered $2.
Neat little comic book. Measures 5 x 3 1/4. Printed in 1976 by Carvel Ice Cream. I'll have to do some background research on this one but it's in pretty good shape.
ALL FOR $4!!!!!! I offered him $2 for the Tiger Woods rc and $2 for all of the other stuff that was in a giant semi rigid holder. I all most passed out when he accepted my offer because I was expecting some negotiations.

<< <i>ALL FOR $4!!!!!! >>
I would've flipped the person a $5 bill and said, "Keep the change!!"
Great deal!
Solarquest, Masterpiece and some parts from Green Ghost paid 5.00 for them..

FOUR BUCKS!!! I pretty much never find any good sports stuff at garage sales. I all most didn't go because I strained my calf muscle and last night I couldn't walk too great. But after getting up this morning I iced it for an hour then wrapped it and off we went. I'm glad I did and the calf feels goooooooood.

As for the Lakers-Celtics ticketsyou could always get them autographed. If you're in the L.A. area, Mychal Thompson is the easiest one to get, because he cohosts a sports talk radio show (i.e., lots of public appearances). I don't know who's the easiest if you're in the Boston area.

Which is a discgrace when you realize some kid was skipped because of his stature. The problems with his liver were caused by him. If it had been me or you we would have NEVER been on the donation list at all.
<< <i>But you or me didn't hit 500 HRs, win a triple crown and plow countless females all over the country. Famous people are more important than regular people, the E! Network is proof of that. >>
True, but in that kid that died could have gone on to greater things we will never know.
<< <i>And I thought I did good by picking up a couple of nice old board games today..

Nice! I sold a Masterpiece game a few weeks ago on ebay for $26 that I found at a garage sale. But I got lucky on that one. How do you determine which games are worth getting and which are not? Its been hit and miss for me with the few games I've found at garage sales and tried to sell.
Older games that could be classed as horror, like Green Ghost, Which Witch are good bets.. Dark Tower is like the grail for that genre.
Old War games do good. Many time I will pick up all they have at the Salvation Army for 99 cents each. Worse scenario I am out 99 cents, but most games can be picked up for a couple of bucks at sales.
<< <i>The Mantle organ donor card is listed in the Beckett Almanac IIRC as being worth a dollar or two. After his death, they were handed out at ballparks in fairly large numbers for the rest of the season.

You're absolutely right. I think he died 2-3 months after getting the liver. I wonder how good he would've been if he didn't drink and if they had the medical technology back then that we do now. I remember him saying at a press conference shortly before he died in which he said "kids, don't be like me."
<< <i>OK I've done a little Ebay searching and the Benes(if that's who it is) doesn't look close to anything online but who would fake his auto? >>
Found one that is similar to it on this site HERE.

Can't beat the price!
The Mantle pamplet for 35 cents - is that a Carvel ice cream printing?
I have one similar somewhere - it was given to me by Qualitycards a while back - he's a very generous guy - and a great dealer.
