Anyone get a bargain at the National?

[LuckyLarry]

I think we have a better chance of finding bargains at our local or regional shows, not from the pros who set up at the National. I did find a few bargains, most from the smaller dealers set up in the back of the venue.

I found a ten cent box with 1972 Topps baseball hi numbers ten cents each? I went through his boxes and bought all he had 38 cards $3.80 I don't need these as my set is complete, so right in the duplicate box. Also mixed in the 10c box was a "hoard" of 1975 Topps football checklists these are pretty scarce as you had to mail off to Topps for the uncut sheet and most kids cut them up. They have team schedule on front team checklist on the back I got 44 of them .10c each a good find for me. Ended up being a full set (minus the header card) plus 23 duplicates. I already have one of the uncut sheets, so this was a nice addition for my set.
Another dealer "in the back" was selling Donruss "Odd Rod" cards for $2 each which isn’t anything to brag about except he had some of the original 1969 cards mixed in, and I bought all of the original cards he had (with a quantity discount applied).

On Wednesday, it's 5:55 the show closes at six and I have spent my daily allotment. I visit William Chappells table and see a stack of '35 Goudey 4in1 I am trying for the master set four Babe Ruth cards in the master set! William has one of the two I need, except previous owner wrote "Kenny" on the back! So I was able to pay via PayPal F/F $415 for the Babe bundled with another needed '35 with Cochran and Gehringer. So I had to dig into the reserves but you make exceptions for Babe Ruth.
