The Thrift Store Thread - Sports Edition

[A_Pharis]

IDK if it was stolen or not, never thought of it that way. Brewer went to college locally and the dealer claimed he bought someones collection who PC'd him because he was a local kid playing pro ball. There were a lot more of his '11 BC stuff I didn't buy, most base or refractors and a few #'d to 25 or 50.

Man, someone must have lost their semi- for Brewer. :-/

Also, where do you guys get boxes to ship bats? My post office had one and never got more in.

You can order them for free on the USPS website: https://store.usps.com/store/browse...?productId=P_O_1098M&categoryId=priority-mail

Same eBay name, or a 2nd name?

Different eBay name. First buyer had 51 feedback and second time they had 3 feedback. They're both Asian and after I googled the address it looks like an abandoned building in Hackensack. Looking at their feedback all they buy is little league baseball bats

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Freedom Card Board mobile app

I just ordered the long shipping boxes from USPS. Never knew it was a thing. Good stuff.

So does taking "junk" out of a persons house and keeping it count as thrift storing?

Haha, got a nice haul today tho


Sixers art print, labeled AP/50 Stan Katzen "Sixers Slam" (small year in top right corner and some pin holes)


1997 Jordan Starline poster


Reading Phillies batting helmet replica


Phillies minibat

And A bunch of books, magazines, etc

 

[Mellowturtle]

It counts as a good day, that's for sure!

 

[ASTROBURN]

What books? Sports related?

Got a request from a buyer this morning to cancel his winning bid, three days after it ended. Add that to the list of npb's this month. July has been a bad month for me and stupid bidders who dont finish what they start.

[MENTION=4428]MrMet[/MENTION] - AP means "Artist Proof". That's usually the first 10% or so of a total print run to make sure the prints are correct. Nice score!

That's pretty cool! I don't intend on keeping it, not a Sixers fan, anyone interested?

Found a signed Reggie White biography today "In the Trenches," for $.79 at my local SA. Also signed by two others- Gary Bauer and Fred Barnes, both right-wing pro-lifers. Guessing they were all at a religious event.

Dust jacket not in great shape but Reggie's auto is in bold black sharpie.

I am up visiting my parents this week, and decided to help my dad out with his attempts at thrifting shirts like i do. The stores in his area have an average selling point of four bucks a shirt. But using promo days, certain color tags, and his senior discount, he managed to get these at half that and even more on a couple of items.

Any one else thrifting besides me? Been quiet in here for a bit.

I really gotta try that instagram. I loaded it once and it looked so confusing. Not sure how i could get my stuff seen.

After a month, i finally started listing again. Listed 24 football items, and plan on listing the rest tomorrow.

Got my first "item" from a thrift store that I wouldn't mind selling.

I read this thread every time, and I frequent thrift stores weekly, but I am never brave enough to purchase something and hassle with selling it. I usually get books and ghings for my classroom, but always I see starter jackets, and Star Wars figures, and all this stuff, but I never pull the trigger. Saw this Trout Youth Large Jersey, "Majestic Genuine Merchandise" and figured its gotta be worth more than $2.50....right??
