I found a Nolan Ryan Rookie at a tag sale
I went to a tag sale yesterday and saw that they had some baseball and basketball cards in a case...they wanted $15 for Pete Rose's 1970 AS card and $15 for a 1978 Julius Erving..et cetera...too high for what they were...When I went downstairs I noticed a plastic box filled with cards wrapped in rubber bands that they had $1 and $2 on each little stack..I figured they were just the commons since they had the star cards in the case upstairs and I didn't even look through them..and as you can see in a photo below there were no 60's or early 70s cards showing...there were also three shoeboxes filled with Strat-O-Matic cards that seemed too high priced to me...so I left without getting anything...when I got home I looked up the Strat-O-Matic cards and saw that I probably should have picked them up, but it was too late as I had to get to work...flash forward to today and I figured I'd go back and pick them up for half price if they were still there...well they were and I snagged them all, but this time I decided to look through some of the small rubber banded stacks of cards and the third pile I picked up had the 1968 Nolan Ryan rookie in it. I got it for a whole $1...after that I didn't even look through the rest I just grabbed the whole box and bought them all...there were a few other good cards in there like a nice 1970 Tom Seaver and some pack fresh early 1970s commons..a 1974 "Washington" Padres team card, but nothing else huge like the Ryan. How in the world does that card last until the second day of a tag sale...there had to have been 100's of people through there yesterday.
Here's a link to the sale...no baseball or basketball cards listed, but the Strat-O cards are the second thing on the list. http://www.thosegirlstagsales.com/6601_Flintridge.html
