Here he is amid the remnants of a 90s era card store once located in Alabaster, Alabama, now confined in a large closet of an office building. The kind owner opens it up for me whenever I can scratch together a few 20 dollar bills to buy 80s junk wax. He gives me a "deal," which is half off the buy-it-nows he sees on ebay, which is not a deal. But when you factor in savings on shipping it is near market rate. I always get a package of top-loaders too. He sells them for his cost, and he purchased them before the top-loader shortage, so I feel like I'm at least getting a deal there (even though I am good on top-loaders). This time I got a box of series 1, 2, and 3 1988 Big Topps to open with my childhood buddies on our annual trip next week (Buck is coming too). I also got a box of Donruss Hall of Fame Heroes cards... and some other stuff.
