"Weirdest" place you've bought or found cards

BBCgalaxee · Jul 16, 2015

Interesting thread here about a member buying a large lot of cards while living in Australia.

So that made me think of this thread and there's several ways to answer the subject obviously.

Here's mine:

About ten years at a show in HAWAII, I found a table which had several OPC Munson cards in awesome shape.

He was just a guy who decided to set up a table there and by no means did shows or online at all.

So I had to ask him how he got so many OPC cards living in Hawaii and he told he to live in border when was a kid.

my wife and I were at a Antique Festival in August last year and as she was looking at some FireKing glassware, under the table was a milk crate full of cards and she called me over to fiddle through it and I stumbled upon a Donnie Baseball RC.

The weirdest place I have ever found cards was inside a metal box in an abandoned burned out car in the desert.

About two years ago, a mom/pop mini Mart near work had '99 (I think) Crown Royale in there.

Nothing exciting in the packs but still cool...

Found a few 1977 Topps singles at a dump as a kid (this was probably early 80s, so they weren't that old to begin with. I was digging around hoping to find the "source", but never did.

I found some in a hole I knocked into a wall of an old house of mine

Movie/TV reference I don't get?

The weirdest would probably have to be at a convenience store back in the late 90's ... what was strange about it was they were selling 1989 topps and score traded sets. I asked if I could just get the Griffeys and the Belles and they said yes!

That's what I was thinking, all my movie references similar to this involved bodies and not cards.

Members of the old Beckett boards would get it. It was an elaborate and entirely fictional story a member shared about his adventure finding some cards.

OK gotcha!

I was worried "Rain Man" ended differently than I remember and Cruise crapped out in Vegas and just torched the whole thing...

Out of vending machines

At the Roger's Centre they still have card vending machines. They're the kind with the coil things that turn and the item drops down to the door that you open to retrieve it. Problem is many of the cards are not in any sort of protection so the drop would certainly damage it.

That was an entertaining thread and it still get miles today.

Found a 1950's Fleer Ted Williams under the floor boards in my attic. I know it's not necessarily weird but definitely cool.

Once went to a catch-all Yard Sale at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Found a guy with a milk crate full of 1975-76 Topps Basketball cards for $45. Had all the stars. Nearly put 3 sets together from it. Eventually did.

I met up with a guy in a gas station parking lot in the middle of the night to pick up my Purple Crusades
