Went to a flea market this morning in Columbus NJ. Two vendors had boxes of mixed unopened packs. One had them for $1/pack the other for .25/pack. Cheap as I am , I bought 8 packs for $2. One was the 30 card fantasy foil set that I mentioned in the Mystery card forum. The other was 2000 MVP UD baseball, 10 cards per pack. Got a silver script Bagwell and a Beltran "Pure Grit" insert. Also base Ken Griffery Jr, Mark Grace and Rickey Henderson. Fun for a quarter.

Any time you can find a pack for a quarter, of something you want...take it! (Don't forget, a lot of pack images are missing from the Database)

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Yes, Billy. First thing I did was enter the packaging. Especially from 2010 back, a lot are missing the packaging or the packaging is slightly different.

Nice pack pickup. I'm envious, Joe. (Just so happens that I collect all but the Grace card). I need to go to flea markets when I get back home this weekend. BTW, sending you a PM shortly.
