Well it took me a littl bit but finally found a descent shop here in Hawaii. Here are some scans of my rescent purchase. I usually only collect 68 topps baseball but had to pick up a couple different years. If you could help and try to guess what grades these cards would recieve I would apreciate it.

Nice group of raw cards. I'd put them in an album and add some more raw cards and have a nice EX-EX+ start on a couple of sets.

lilmule · September 6, 2009 10:16AM

The cards are going to be heading out on Tuesday wish them luck. I do hope at least the Bench will get a 8 or above it is a beautiful card.

Which card shop is it?
I'm on Oahu and rarely see much vintage at the shops I know of on the island.

I assume you live there.

When I am in Hawaii there are about 1,000 things I would rather be doing than looking at baseball cards. I love Hawaii. Looking forward to a February trip.

Aloha.

If you ever get over to Kauai give me a shout and we can hook up for a drink. So far I have only seen two card shops here but have not gone into either as of yet.

lilmule · September 17, 2009 5:39PM

I havent been to Kauai yet hopefully pretty soon. I dont want to be here for 3 years and not go anywhere. If I do go I will look you up.

Thanks
Mike

Wish I could find a card shop in my area PERIOD!! I miss the days of card shops everywhere. I miss running my card shop.

RonBurgundy · September 18, 2009 1:13AM

Nice grades!

biged128 · September 18, 2009 1:21AM

I just returned from Hawaii Flew in to Oahu then seven day cruise to Maui, Hilo, Kona and Kauai then back to Oahu for a couple of days before coming back to Connecticut. Anyway nice cards and great grades where in Hawaii did you find those.

There is a card shop and for the life of me I cant remember the name of it. Ive only been there a couple of times on weekends when I have some time off. Now I will try to go there every weekend. What the owner does is when people come in with cards he will sell them at his shop with a 15% selling fee. So I will try to make it there every weekend to see what else the guy has.
