Well, not baseball cards and not vintage by y'alls standards but last year I bought 11 intact and 4 broken 1955 Big League Stars/Dairy Queen statues (including Mantle - 1 broken and 1 intact)..........all for 25 cents each. They were in a box with other multi-colored baseball cake toppers. I picked one up, read Roy Campanella on the bottom and realized that I had seen these before. And get this, this was in an antique store!

The same store also yielded a 1940's-50's statue of the Habana Leones Cuban team. Roughly a $50 item, it cost $2.
