J LevineI often hunt and hunt for bargains...my collecting friends have actually walked out of shows or stores without me because I am willing to search through hundreds of box, crates, drawers, corners, etc. for interesting stuff...Some of my best finds have come from searching through stuff like that. Being on a limited income, I tend to look for lesser grade stuff but every now and then I find something in great condition. A few years ago, I bought a N-300 Lowe in ex condition for $62 shipped. I bought my '41 Playball set (avg. vg) for $300. I bought my T-205 Matty and Johnson (in g-vg) for $35 each about 5 years ago.
I save money for larger purchases but have been very successful in putting my T-205 together and never spending more than $45 on any single card (except the Cobb where I spent $150). I am nine cards away now and I am finding myself willing to spend a little more...
Still hoping to find a T-205 Drum back in poor condition for less than $100. I can dream can't I?
