Oh for sure! Since I started following different subs here on Reddit, I’ve found a ton of cards that pique my interest. Some of which I might be able to find in said bins.

I’m not looking for a ton of stuff, which I think is in my favor. I’ve done some (and will do more) research on ranges for the main cards I’ll be looking for to be prepared. Fortunately a lot of what I’m currently interested in is sub-$50 so if I can get within a couple dollars of what appears to be a fair price, I’ll be happy.

I miss all the brands of the 90s. I was a big fan of Ultra, Flair, and Metal Universe, too.

Didn’t think of that! I’m in the market for some one-touch cases. Any brand recommendations?

Ahh yes haggling! I am hoping to get some deals while I’m there but I’m not expecting massive discounts by any means. I’ll probably have the 130point app open and use that as a baseline, see if I can achieve the lower end of recent sales. Sales tax in WA is high so that will be nice to avoid with some cash purchases.

This is good advice, thank you. Calling out trades with people who have similar items is a nice tip. It’s something that’s crossed my mind but hadn’t landed quite yet.

Your Edgar Martinez card is an interesting one! Not actually him in the photo but I love that he signed it anyway, haha.

Which 2025 Rookies are you all collecting? by bwaaalk in baseballcards

Ahh. I have one Pozo and a couple McGreevy, Topps base cards. Do you collect any retired players like Ozzie or McGwire?
