10¢ Ryno Superstar Sampler day at Mansfield

DeliciousBacon · Sep 3, 2012

Rather unimpressive show up in Mansfield today. I went mainly for Frenchy's table, since he wasn't at the last show, ended up hitting 3 of the 4 dealers outside the main hall. Nothing too spectacular pickup-wise, just a lot of common PC stuff.

And these, for a dime each:

I was hoping he still had the Finest, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad!

Edit: also found these two Gwynns:

Every time I see a 1994 Bowman, Finest, or Stadium Club card in a dime box, I flip it over, just in case. Between the Superstar Samplers, Score/Pinnacle promos, and Donruss Aqueous, there's bound to be a wealth of rare stuff hidden away in boxes just waiting to be found.

First off, cool find. What are cards like this worth? I saw a Mark Grace sold for $4.00 shipped. Are the stars worth a ton more? Just curious.

No Ryno Samplers have sold on ebay recently, so I have no idea what he would go for. I think it's far preferable to have the whole set, still in the wrapper if possible, but many player collectors will take what they can get with these. I'd have paid $4 for a Grace no problem, even if it was just one of the three. Our resident Sandberg expert would know exactly what these would sell for.

A Finest sold on June 10 for $11.49 ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/350571206017

That's not as much as I would have thought, but still a nice profit on a 0.10 investment.

I sold my sealed Sandberg set last year to one of the big Sandberg collector's for $199.95. It definitely helps to have the 3 card set sealed, but you did just fine for 10 cents each. You'll have no problem at all selling them. You might try and complete it before selling. With the Finest recently selling for $11.49, you can see what type of increase you can get if you can manage to locate the last piece of your puzzle.

Couldn't make show today.

Was it packed for Shawn Thornton and Luis Tiant???? Tiant was pretty cheap and Thornton so popular even at $20, I bet Doug sold a lot of tickets for him.

Do you track the sales of the sets? I remember another Ryno set having been listed other than yours but don't remember the end price. I think it was around the $60-80 range.

I do try and track a lot of the Superstar Sampler cards, but for some reason, I don't have any other Sandberg's on file. I've definitely seen them sell less than $199.95 though, but I guess it was before I started to really track and record them, but at the time I listed mine, no sealed sets had been listed in quite a long time. I sold the Ripken for $275 and I know a few people on here were pretty shocked. Sealed sets of the key stars are few and far between.
