Back from the show with some good pickups. Had a good time I definitely recommend the show.

I ended up going for a little bit after the Big Game. The show seemed nice, although most people were packing up by the time I got there. I picked up a Christy Mathewson t206, a Tim Lincecum by the letter rookie, and a Pablo Sandoval refractor.

What did you end up paying for the Lincecum and Sandoval, I know Doug wanted $120 and $15.

I have a couple of Lincecum BC AU's if you're interested. I'll be back in Marin for Thanksgiving.

$110 for the pair, probably a bit high but the show was almost over and I wanted to get somethings considering the drive.

Not terrible, let me know if you're interested in checking out some of my cards when I am back in Marin. Also I have five cases of draft coming in.

I'll be gone for most of Thanksgiving, so I don't know if the times would work, but maybe some time. What are you looking for on the draft?

I'm planning on opening most, if not all of it, I was more asking if there were singles you were interested in. I may be able to set aside a box or a few for you if you're interested. Any interest on the Lincecum BC AU's?

 

[CardinalAce2012]

Re: Official Bay Area, CA Show Thread, Next: Milpitas Nov. 23

I can't think of any singles off the top of my head, mostly just interested in Giants, especially if you pull any from the draft. I have enough Lincecum for now, thanks though.

I went to the San Leandro show today. My 4-month old lost his mind about 20 minutes in, so I had to go before he had a total meltdown. But managed to find a couple things. Nearly all my purchases were from the father/son set up right next to the door who had all the set building boxes there. I'm sure I could've found more, but it was hard to look with a crying baby in my arms.

Might make it to Milipitas tomm. Will post any results, though I'm not optimisitc. The Classic Materials shows are very hit or miss.

Yeah I wouldn't head out there unless you were planning on any other shopping at the mall, last time I went there were hardly any cards and mostly jerseys, toys and the like.

Sounds like a good idea. When are you sending it in? I'm breaking 08 BDP and might have some stuff if you want to do a "Bay Area" submission.

Anyone make it to Milpitas today? I want to try to sell a couple of Lincecum BC AU's

Re: Official Bay Area, CA Show Thread, Next: Milpitas Nov. 23

I went to Milpitas. Awful. There were probably 10 dealers, and most of them were matchbox cars/anime/beanie babies/random crap dealers. The hockey card table was there, and the box guy was there, and that was about it.

I did pick up a box of 08 Bowman Chrome for $38. The auto was Faustino De Los Santos.

Yeah I didn't take my own advice and went anyways, some moron tried to convince me that selling him two bowman chrome Lincecum autos for $40 was a good idea. I had to finally just walk away from him the nonsense he was spouting.
