2008 Bowman Sterling Joe Flacco blue refractor
Total cost: $8.00. It's probably worth less than that after last night's stinker. Thanks to New Card Smell, I now know where this card comes from. Until spotting this one at the flea market, I'd never seen one like this before.
2008 Topps Finest Nick Markakis green refractor #'d /199
Total cost: $2.00. One step close to the rainbow. I now have the green, gold and black variations of this card.2005 Upper Deck Classic Fantasy Team Dennis Eckersley
Total cost: $1.00. It's a card of a Hall of Famer, and it's made out of wood. For a dollar? No brainer.1973 Topps Hank Aaron
Total cost: $5.00. My first Aaron, and it was found in the five dollar bin. 1951 Bowman George Stirnweiss
Total cost: $4.00. I mainly bought this cards cause off this guy's nickname. It's my first '51 Bowman, and aside from the staining there on the bottom, is in pretty good shape. Oh, and that tape spot there on the back. It could be worse though.1934 Goudey Charlie Grimm
Total cost: $10.00. My first '34 Goudey! It's only one of the most iconic sets of all time. That white spot on the back is part of the price tag that I didn't remove from the penny sleeve.1955 Bowman Eddie Mathews
Total cost: $10.00. I was pretty thrilled to see this in the ten dollar bin. There was a '59 Topps Mathews in there as well, but it was in slightly worse shape than this creased up '55 Bowman.Once again, the Dundalk flea market has yielded some great cards, and sweet deals. Needless to say I'm pretty psyched about being able to add all of these cards to my collection, but especially that '34 Goudey, as beat as it is.
