Another Trip to the Coin Shop

Worked from home today. Had to head out for a pack of smokes and decided to stop into the coin shop, as I'd not been there in months.
Unfortunately/Fortunately, he had a customer and was in the midst of a several thousand dollar gold/silver purchase. I let him know I didn't need any help and was just browsing today.
Flagged a few items for my next trip and was getting ready to roll when I noticed some binders in a bookcase that I hadn't noticed before. At first assumed they were coins, but on closer inspection they were cards. Three binders worth. Quickly realized it was almost all 90s junk, but flipped through anyway. Saw a few oddball Will Clark's and an Elway, so pulled them...then saw the Favre's!!!
Had also spotted a pair of Starting Lineups earlier as well. Dorsett and Yaz. Decided to interrupt and asked how much for each. He says 10 for the pair. How about this stack of cards from the binders? Included. Conveniently, I had a 10 on me, paid and got outta their hair so they could finish their big boy business.
Pretty stoked on the a Starting Lineups, and will likely sub the Favre's. I think it was a good trip.

Congrats. That is a nice haul for $10. Good luck on the sub of the Favre RCs. Wish I had a coin or card shop in my area with decent stuff and/or deals.
<< <i>Awesome deal! I love the Yaz SLU! >>
Dan, it looks like a cross between Yaz and Pete Rose! lol

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.
Dan - I can no longer see a Yaz item without thinking of you.

I'd say it's about 80% Rose, 20% Yaz. SLU did a terrible job recreating faces.
