Small Business Saturday at my LCS

I used Small Business Saturday as an excuse to visit my LCS.

There are a bunch of 3200 count boxes on the counter that have 8/$1 cards.

I picked out 32 cards and took them over to the register to pay for them.

The owner of the shop counted them and then told me it would be $3.

I told him I thought there were 32 cards. He told me that he had counted 24 cards and there were only a couple more so he was only going to charge me $3. That works for me!

So the 8/$1 cards ended up costing me just over 9 cents each.

The bulk of the cards I picked up were from the 1981 Topps set and some will make it into my Topps Page-a-Year binder.

I picked out a good assortment of Record Breaker cards...

... a World Series highlight card...

...a bunch of star players...

...and a handful of Hall of Famers.

Here are the rest of the cards.

2 cards for my Jorge Posada mini player collection.

A couple of Griffeys. Not sure if I already have these or not, but at that price I'm not going to pass up a Griffey. 

I have a nephew named Jack Wilson, so I try and pick them up when I come across them.

Eventually I'll put this entire subset together. 

A couple of Jeter cards highlighting two of his Yankee records. 

Erskine signs through the mail and since I already have this for my set I'll send this out to get signed.

Can't pass up a card of a player holding multiple bats for one of my original and most favorite mini collections. 

I picked up this card because of the pink arm band because of the recent promotion that the Pirates Treasure Room had in October to promote breast cancer awareness. 

I saw this card, or at least the base version of this card, recently on the Dime Boxes and so when I saw it I had to pick it up. 

If you are counting you probably are wondering how come there were only 29 cards if I bought 32. I forgot to scan one card, a AL Home Run Leader card from 1981 Topps featuring Reggie Jackson, Ben Oglivie and Mike Schmidt. The other two are for someone else so I won't show them here.
