The Thrift Store Thread - Sports Edition

[TwinGnats]

Pickups, I want to keep the Giants and USF Bulls but just a little small on me. My own wordrobe is losing out to my love of twinkies.

Classic board games are still great. I hope they arent going away anytime soon due to all of the video game stuff out there for kids.

Classics are good, but you should try some of the new ones. Board Games are huge money right now. Youtube "TableTop" with Wil Wheaton (of Star Trek fame) for a taste of whats out there.

If you're looking for a good board game to invest in and have access to a ton of expansion sets - look up HeroQuest. Had it when I was younger and wish I had kept it. Pretty valuable table top game with a lot of flexible game play.

Thanks again for the intel, just sold for 30 BIN with 5 watchers, prob could have gotten more. not bad for $5 though.

Might have been used at the US Pond Hockey Championships.

I found this one at my goodwill. Gemini, with the same logo-crest on the front. I believe it to be worn by someone from that tournament.

Not too bad actually. Gemini makes nice stuff.

I hit up a ton of goodwill's yesterday. Picked up a lot of cool stuff including a Rockies Starter Parka jacket I wished fit me. I'll put up pictures sometime today or tmw but the coolest thing I found was a satin jacket with a RBI Baseball 4 logo. Had to be a promo, but I can't find a single instance of it anywhere online.

A couple of days ago hit an out of town GW and was excited to find a signed copy of "Butch Harmon's Playing Lessons," signed by Harmon.

Harmon is the son of a famous golfer and served as Tiger's long time instructor.

Here are the pictures of the jacket. If anyone has any info let me know please.

About all I can tell you that RBI 4 was released for the Genesis and SNES, I think.

I'm taking a shot in the dark, but I'd assume they were given to employees of the company or to retail store employees to help promote the game?

Either way, a nice find.

Just Genesis, I can't imagine given to an employees, I'm thinking a send away or a prize. I can't find a single instance of this jacket anywhere online.

That would make more sense. Maybe a mail in or something?

Either way, it's awesome.

A not too bad day...

I almost missed this one. It was tucked away in on a shelf that had nothing to do with sports stuff. $1

$1.50

Both are available if anyone is interested.

Looks like the Friar was an SGA in 2001.

So far I've found SGA's for the Giants, Padres, Twins, and Royals, all in my 2 stores. This one is the nicest by far though.

I just saw these at the local salvation army. I think its John Olerud, and Cal ripken. 15 each. Id pop on the ripken, but someone else wrote on it. Do you guys think it would come off? I also found a book signed by Phil Jackson. Any idea if its worth picking up?

Hmmm good deal for $15. Probably fair. I don't know how it's be to flip with the writing.

Buying Albert Belle cards! PM me!

Picked up the book. On sale, 50 cents. Wor th a shot. The balls, im not so sure. The ripken would be sweet, if it wasnt written on. Ill have my dad come back in 2 Weeks for half off day, and see if its still there.

Is there any money to be made on gloves? This one is 5 bucks...

 

[ASTROBURN]
