The Thrift Store Thread - Sports Edition

[MaineMule]

I have this thing with Goodwill where I buy a lot of baseball books and tell myself that I will read them some day. Last night I brought these home:

Then when I opened the Cal book, I saw this, which is actually signed with a marker/Sharpie (it bleeds through onto the next page):

Cal collectors, did Cal sign a million of these or do I have something worth anything here? Honestly, it is very likely that I will just keep it knowing that it was signed by a baseball hero from my childhood. But, if it's worth a gajillion dollars, I can be persuaded to sell.

Awesome find. I've looked at 1000s of books at GW over the last year or so and that would be a great score. Congrats on the score.

Cal signs a ton but he's still an all-time great. Probably $20-$30 or so.

congrats on the Cal auto. Very cool!

and The Big Show was a great book to read, especially if you lived on Sportscenter during the nineties!

Ogio Golf Bag, slight wear, $5, worth it?

I had a decent day at the stores.

I'm looking for more Justin Morneau coats, and I needed to get pricing on them from the local thrift stores.

Here's what I came away with (buying coats tomorrow):

Store 1:

1994 Madden NFL Sega Genesis Limited Edition (I assume a first printing) - $2. Not worth much, but it's cool to have.

Store 2:

3 diecast cars all #'d/10,000. I need to do some research on these.

Went back and bought the bag...

Turns out it belonged to a PGA pro.

Had my coolest find ever today. Found a cricket bat from the 2004 Gabba Bulls team for $2.99 at a thrift store. The cricket team is located in Australia. I can only imagine the story of how it got to Knoxville. I have it listed at a stupid $149 BIN/BO but don't really want to sell as I think it's a fantastic piece.

Some other recent finds:
NWOT Footjoy jacket 7.99 sold for 37.80

Nike US Soccer hat $2 sold for 10.49

Vinate FSU Mug $2 sold for $12

Found a whole bunch of these Mossy Oak base layer hunting pants for 6.88 at a closeout store and have sold 3 pairs so far for between 20-29.99.

Vintage Columbia Braves jacket with removable fleece lining 7.99 sold for $50 but it doesn't look like the buyer is going to pay

Callaway golf shirt with Odyssey logo 2.99 currently has a bid for 19.99

Also found a couple of pairs of Jordans yesterday. Got them both for $10 combined.

Hey Rum a quick question....besides the Z-Core basa are any other bats worth picking up? I see a lot of Eastons & Louisville Slugger metal bats but have never had the chance to find a Z-Core. Thanks in advance.

The easton redline z cores, c cores are some of the most valuable. A lot of the -5 bats are worth some good $$$. Any bats with the better alloys too sc500 & c405 are 2 that come to mind

Just a heads up, if you guys are out and about at the thrift stores take a minute to look for ugly Christmas sweaters. This is the time to sell them. Pick up for around $3 sell for $15-$40 depending how ugly..... Lol

Extra cash for the holidays
