After doing the breakfast thing on Saturday I had some plans for the remainder of the day running through the mind. These plans included the usual stop at the antique store just a few blocks from the beach house. From there I wanted to try something new, and hit some antique stores I've never been to in another town.
As we arrived back at the house those plans changed in a hurry. The wife picked up a coast events paper while at breakfast. Reading through the paper she noticed Waldport was having their town wide garage sale that same day. Not one to turn down a chance to hit garage sales, especially ones that only happen once a year. I was hooked, and making my way southbound.
Rather than waste a bunch of time I will sum the whole thing up by saying I didn't buy one single item. Honestly I didn't see anyone buy anything at any of the sales. I summed things up with the wife when I told her "It was nothing, but overpriced junk". Not willing to give up I headed straight for the antique mall.
Starting my search things didn't look good until I hit the lower level. That is when I found two items that will appear in other blogs when I get off my butt, and mail them out. Excited from the find I started searching harder than before. The new found excitement hit an even higher level as I spotted this tucked in a corner.
I had almost missed it as the thing blended in with all the other uninteresting stuff. My thrill level went through the roof as the sticker had $4.00 written on it, SOLD!! There are 26 different cards each rubber-banded by individual cards. Here is my take from the booty.
After doing an ebay search I learned the cards are from the 1994 police set. Taking out a set for myself I have one more complete set if anyone would like it. Not all the cards are in perfect condition though so keep that in mind.
I have quite a few of all the other cards so if there is a player you want, or would like a partial set let me know.
I love police cards. The Brewers have so many variations that it is practically like trying to collect Topps base sets and all the parallels!
ReplyDeleteI love oddballs and police sets fit right in with that! I can use any one of the extra cards you have for my type collection!
ReplyDeleteI will set one aside for you.
