I'm sure you can probably sell some underwear to a man if he already has them on!

With all the excitement of my road trip, I have found it difficult to buckle down and get through everything. However, here I am with an update.
I sold the Arthur Court dishes for $33, and some of the trains for $30. In addition to this, I picked up a $100 lot which included this:
An Elvis Andrus 1/1 mini leather - tons of other cards came with it too.

So, I have several updates today.
Firstly, after fees, the main lot of cards I just picked up sold for $137. Then, the sand & water table sold for $25.
But of course, I picked up some more goodies! How? Today, the Tri Star card show rolled into town. It is one of the few things that gets me to brave the houston traffic, and drive past where I worked 15 years ago ....
See the circle? Yeah, I was there. Fun fact - I was MISERABLE and deeply depressed working there. I eventually got fired. The first and only time, too. Turns out it was the biggest blessing ever.
I entered the show and started looking for Canseco cards (I found ... NONE.) and things to buy.
Total introduction count for the Canseco story / Beckett headline: 4
Total # of comparisons to Rollie Fingers: 3
While I was walking around, I got a text from my friend saying her dad was there. Her dad was the guy who gave me a 1989 Fleer complete set, and within a little over a month, I flip quested it to a 1999 Topps Traded Josh Hamilton autographed rookie (a big deal at the time.) It was my first flip quest ever. #memories .
We ran into each other and spoke for a good while, until he had to get a phone call. I decided to take a stache selfie with him in the background to send to my friend.
Later, he returned the favor while I was talking to another dealer ... well at least he tried. Ultimately, he had to ask me how to turn the camera around. Then he took the pic and sent to my friend. I asked her for the pic, and here it is:
This was about as exciting as things got. I did pick up some cool things though for the flip quest, like:
a box of 1971 and 1972 topps baseball ... around 1,400 or so cards.
and a box full of game used Astros pants. Many of them had some nice patch work on them as well.
The damage came to be $140 for everything

A few things have happened recently:
one pair of game used pants, the vintage cards and a tail light sold for $207
I also bought a nice dresser for $10.
I hope to have a really good update to this flip quest in a few days as well!

Over the past few days, some things have sold and a huge, huge, HUGE thing happened for the flip quest! Here is the summary:
First, I sold the 1/1 Andrus and the rifle scope for a total of $88 after fees.
Now for the biggie.
I ran into a former Canseco collector who I gave my checklist to. I asked him if he had anything I needed. He emailed me and said "Do you need this?"
Attached in the message: A 1990 Donruss AQUEOUS! This is one of the many white whales I have swimming about the ocean. We went back and forth and ended up doing a deal for $413. I would not have been surprised if, at the end of the flip quest, I would not have been able to have found any on my list in the initial post, so I'm really pumped about this ... not to mention that he had about 26 other cards on my list that I didn't have. That is huge also, as that type of quantity simply doesn't happen anymore.

Sweet ! Not sure what the market is on the Jose Aqueous but regardless , glad you landed it. And great score on 26 others , like you said , once you have a big collection , bulk new pickups are tough to come by.
