Major Thrift Store Find!

And by major, I mean I found baseball cards. I go to a nearby Goodwill once a week or so, to look for sports books, and happened upon some cards today.

They had about a dozen boxes of 1984 Donruss Champions baseball. (?) Apparently, it's these:

Anywho, I'd never seen them before, so I bought 5 of the better looking boxes. All of the boxes but one were taped shut, but I don't think they were searched, as there was a Babe Ruth on top.

Are these worth a hoot?

In addition, I found a brand spanking new Orioles New Era cap (in my size!)

I also found a copy of Ed Hearn's book, "Conquering Life's Curves", signed by the one and only Ed Hearn!

For all the Ed Hearn super collectors on the board, I will part with the book. Please form a single file line, and bring your BEST offers up front.

I'll post pictures of my "haul" later.

    I met my wife at Goodwill. She had her own cart and I needed a place to put my returnable bottles.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Those sealed boxes go for about $20/e shipped. So if you paid under that you did well.

    I worked several years at night stocking shelves in one of our local grocery stores and this type of stuff happens more than you would think......usually they make it in or almost into the rest rooms before busting a move but more than once they performed live in the store aisles......I remember one time a guy was walking down an aisle leaving a trail and didn't even know it......glad I didn't have to clean it up.

    I know the Mets get bashed for their trades (Ryan, Dykstra, Kent), but didn't they trade Ed Hearn for David Cone?

    Try having 4 naked men hands on shoulder in a parade when you deliver a pizza and them asking you in so they can pay you.
