$5 box at flea market lands nice stuff

[Johnny G]

It was a plastic carrying case. Guy wanted $10,gave him $5. It landed:

1992 Topps Derek Jeter Draft Pick card
1996 Topps Derek Jeter Future Stars
Topps Randy Johnson Rookie
1996 Topps Mickey Mantle set (one card sealed by Topps stating "Last Day Production) Info?
1996 Topps Nomar Garciaparra Future Star
1996 Topps Todd Helton Draft Pick card
Marty Brodeur rookie
Piazza & Pedro rookies, Lindros rookies, a bunch of sportflics, a bunch of other rookies like Damon and such.
What a great $5 spent.

It specifically made for cards and I would have bout that for 5. LOL Either way the Mantle card was a Gold Stamp sealed by Topps. I guess real gold
.Gotta read more

Nice find! I often pay about $5 or $6 for the carrying cases that hold die-cast cars and have been getting them with the cars included for 7 or 8 bucks lately.

That Mantle was a special insert in 1996 Topps Factory sets; one hermetically sealed Mantle "Last Day Production" card per Hobby (I think) set.
