Observations from a yard sale - 80s/90s junk cards

[Johnny630]

I think this is 100% gambling. There are dumpster divers that will go out there and spend $10 on a mega box without even looking through it hoping for a hit or a mistake so I guess that’s their way of gambling. The guy asking for a discount if he bought a bunch that’s Funny they are already a penny apiece.

That's fairly common.

Now, if he was buying one card asked for a discount, that would be funny.

But they are only worth two for a Penny (or less) :-)

Some of those guys have YouTube channels where people watch them go through all the junk boxes.

No kidding…a penny each for junk wax commons ain’t bad. I have a few monster boxes I’d gladly unload at that price.

Two weeks ago at a flea market I saw a guy selling all sorts of fake stuff (fleer Jordans etc). Last week at the flea market I saw guys buying junk wax stuff and quoting prices that were inaccurate (100 dollars for a raw Shaq Topps rookie etc.). Bottom of the barrel has not heard about the recent drop off in prices and are buying the junkiest of junk.
