BBCE mailday!

Work on friday is OK, but when you have a package come from BBCE, it makes the day at the accounting firm a lot more exciting!!!

image

So what is in the box you might ask?

Ever since Grote starting posting pictures of his trays, I've become quite interested in collecting them. I had a 79 tray that I picked up at the 2013 national in Chicago, and here are two 80 trays I purchased. Very happy to add them to the collection!

image

I was only 2 in 1980, but I wish I would have been at the store when they had them for 66 cents a tray!

image

My dad has been wanting a 1984 Donruss box for a while, so he picked up this for himself.....

image

Collection keeps growing! Thanks for letting me share my recent adds!

    Nice pickups. Now let's see what's inside image

    Also, not sure if you're privacy person, but I would blur the name/addy on the package.

    Nice trays. How long do you think it will take for someone to use the "What's in the Box" photo of Brad Pitt in Seven for their avatar? image

    Thanks for noticing! Got to protect yourself against the whacko's out there, I guess. image

    Congrats on your new additions ... enjoy them.

    How do you think I feel (I'm 20 years older than you) ... I used to buy WAX BOXES for $1.20 in the 60's. LOL
    STAY HEALTHY!

    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.

    Great stuff Jeremy!!! And congrats to your dad too.

    I'm proving out retained earnings right now and I know I'd rather be busting open a shipping box from BBCE too. image

    At first I thought you meant actually opening packs!!!! image (I fell off my chair) When I regained consciousness, I realized you were just talking about the shipping box. image

    Congratulations on your unopened pickups Jeremy.

    Do you remember what they charged for the 84D? Just curious.

    Thanks!! I noticed when they posted stuff last Friday that the 80 trays sold out in a matter of minutes. Now I know who got them! image
