April 17th Show pickups... Forgot one! Earl Campbell style!

[tonsofcommons]

So had the Urbandale card show today. It's run by Ryanscardz and it was a good time today. I met Clint (notjomommasclint) and his buddy Craig (he's on here, but can't remember the screen name). Let's just say I made out like a bandit. Showing all my pickups.

First off, a nice little wall hanging for a Bengals fan.

Then, a few Pacific pickups of sets I am going to continue collecting, as well as a few for fellow collectors...

The some miscellaneous (2001 Heritage Previews, 90s inserts, GU & Auto)

BTW, I LOVE White Hot inserts

Then my other sports pickups

Basketball (Love the Stackhouse Auto!)

Football

Then the big dogs...

Steal of the day... $5 (BV is $120)

Then some nice Jersey/Patch & Autos

Alexander /37

Curry /999 (1/2 of the Reebox Patch)

And a Tatupa auto

Enjoy everyone. :^)

Oh, Forgot one...

36/40

Loving the Nomars (if the Golden Memories was available I'd be interested) and the Absolute Signing Bonuses are some of my favorite pieces. Great stuff

Holy Crap!!! Did you leave any cards for anyone else? No wonder Clint isnt showing his, you probably didn't leave anything for the poor guy.

Re: Since Clint is scared to show HIS pickups, I'll show MINE!!!

first off thanks to ryan we had a great time and plan on making it a bi monthly thing if we can.

you met tj too! craig was the brunette who left before us, tj was the big earred bubble butted pirate ****** that bought the bo jackson auto out from under me and picked up the mauer and jeter autos... went to buffalo wild wings with us. you know the one the waitress will call ne-bra-ska forever. his screen name is cujgiz... pronounced c u jgiz... LMAO because he wont read this to defend it!

the show was packed from what i could tell with my nose pressed up from grinding against eddies leftovers! just so you all know that guy can grind through a box in record time! AND did point out 2 of my bigger purchases... but he did get the card i wanted the most. now if i could only figure out why i have a christy brinkley rookie card and 2 racing inserts! EDDIE?

i wont post my .25 pickups or the mma stuff but a few of the hits:
mike tyson ringlords sample also grabbed an ali but its not a bigger hit!
10 or so manny rookies mixed sets
5 ryan zimmerman topps rookies
and some mixed rookies and inserts of established stars

2 miguel sano platinum refractors for $1 each

and the bigger stuff:

eddie pointed this out. 01 absolute manny ramirez homerun 25/25

03 ultimate joe namath 5/25

again props to eddie. 09 triple threads wood 1/1 adrain gonzalez

91 desert shield don mattingly

93 topps jeter gold

97 score artist proof dan marino! eddie got the marino i wanted. i even told the seller not to discount it for him... and then tried to grab it and run... but eddie is fast. like greasy italian fast.

01 topps chrome albert pujols

03 bowman jeter

Re: Since Clint is scared to show HIS pickups, I'll show MINE!!!

HAHA. HILARIOUS! That right there made the day.

For the record, they scared the **** out of me too.

You really do have a knack of talking to complete strangers (and also scaring their children)!

Thanks again for comin' over to good ol' Des Moines. :^)

Re: Since Clint is scared to show HIS pickups, I'll show MINE!!!

How often are the shows in Urbandale?
Being here in Des Moines I should meet up with you guys too.
We could start our own Iowan gang or something.
Card collecting gangs are the toughest from what I've heard.
