    I like these because no unnecessary intro, no dramatic music, just straight to the point. Impressive how fair these deals turn out to be, no crazy money made given work involved and seller gets a very fair price.

      Yup, I wish I could have been in the restaurant booth with them when they were counting out the 20's, 50's, and 100's to settle up. Reminds me of my card show days traveling the Northwest.

    Thank you Chris for another engrossing tale of card collecting & buying. I'm catching up on all your prior stories & each one seems better than the last. You have a knack for storytelling & I strongly recommend you write a book about your exploits. You have an excellent memory, notes of your purchases, photos of the cards & the best thing is the financial breakdown at the end. Thanks again & can't wait until the next one.

    • @collectorinvestordealer

      Yes, there were a wide variety of values on some of the commons, which I was not really familiar with at the time. A lot of cards are just randomly rarer than others and bring a premium.

    Geesh. Up until recently one of my larger purchased that I remember was scrimping and saving my allowance so I could get a Dale Murphy RC. He was still with the Braves and I looked at the beckett price guide every month and the card kept going up and I thought I could never catch up to it. I ended up buying a less than perfect version for like $85 just to get one. Later in life I replaced it with a mint (not graded) and cheaper by cost version that I then got an in person auto on. great story I like these a lot. I was worried for a bit with you packing all that cash around. glad it worked out.
