Baseball Card Show Purchase #5 – 1972 Topps Jim Palmer & Frank Robinson
This purchase, or one half of it, is an example of why bringing a ‘Needs’ list to a card show is a good idea.
I forgot that I already owned the ’72 Palmer. Oh well, it’s a sweet card, and for just $1.00, I cannot complain. Maybe I can use it as trade bait in the future…
Both of these cards came out of the $1 bin. And they both look awesome, especially next to one another!!
My two favorite Orioles from the 1970s!
30-Year Old Cardboard 
A dollar? Have even the older cards gone down that much? When I collected, each of of these (in Mint) would cost (guesstimating) $35-45 or more. Sheesh.
Jim- Sadly, yes. All of the former collectors that were holding onto their cards to pay off mortgages and college tuitions can barely take a week’s vacation off of their card sales now… 😦
Wow, thats cheap! I gotta get my butt to a card show soon!
Yeah that’s crazy. Makes me want to go to a card show again.
Jimbo- Go for it!!
