Not earth shattering, but here are a couple of (to me) cherrypicks.

I'm a flight attendant and got back home in time to hit one of the monthly coin shows here. I always am looking for MS Jeffersons in the old rattler holders, but no, no luck again. One dealer had several boxes full of stuff so I figured I'd take a look.
First thing I found was a set of first day covers with SBAs in them. I do not collect them, but for $10 I figured it was a decent price considering the Philly SBA is a near date.
Looking further, I found an empty Philadelphia Souvenir envelope that had 1982 written on it and a price of $4. Rats, some one got the coins. As I get to the bottom, among some 60's proof sets, there it was. I put the coins back in the envelope and was glad to pay $4.
Like I said, not earth shattering, but I enjoyed my day and pickups.

Way to go! That '82 quarter looks pretty nice. (it's just hard to say that about the Suzie B... but for a near date- $8 is a good price I think.
Very cool it was not a loss keep up the good work one day bang payday..
Hoard the keys.
Nice !!!
Nice finds, your persistence paid off. Peace Roy

Nice pick ups....There can be some good finds in those 'junk' boxes.... I often ask about stuff the dealer is not displaying 'behind the table'...Got a few nice items that way. Cheers, RickO
You did very well...the 1982 souvenir set goes for x5, and sometimes a bit more of all you paid. This would be a very good day for me personally. I have the '82, and '83 souvenir sets, P&D.
As you probably know, the mint didn't issue an official mint set that year, or, in '83 so kudos! Bonus on the near date- you did very well IMO!!!
Nice finds!
Nice work. As you said, not life changing, but buys some groceries.
