What was my best purchase from yesterday's Sun Times Show?

[gracecollector]

Had a great day cruising the Chicago Sun Times show yesterday. Here are my pickups. Vote for your favorite.

Choice 1:
8 Card lot from a $10 box (got $10 taken off total). The Berras and Mario Mendoza Auto are for my PC, the others are trade bait. The Clemens world series card is stained a weird yellow.

Choice 2:
7 Card lot from a $3 box. All are trade bait.

Choice 3:
Rare 1991 Pepsi Flavor of Baseball 17 Card set. These were only distributed glued inside Pepsi 12 packs in the Miami area. The SCD catalog says there were a few "Executive" sets as well, given to company executives. I feel that this set was probably one of them, since there are no signs of adhesive or card bends.

Choice 4:
3 Don Zimmer cards (1956, 1957 and 1962) that complete my run of all his playing day Topps cards (1955-1965).

Choices 5 & 6
Yogi Berra on-card auto from 2003 Topps Gallery. Beautiful card you never see, had to have it for my small Berra collection. The other auto is for my ***** League Certified Auto collection, of Ray Dandridge.

I voted for the Dandridge, great card of a deceased HOF'er. Although the Berra is a really nice looking card....those two are both great pickups

I think all are great deals, but I will go with #1. Did you see any Zambranos?
Thanks!

Nice buys, love that Berra! No new Graces to be found?

It's getting hard to find something new at shows. About the only place I find new Graces is eBay.

Zambrano collector: there were two guys there with mindblowing Cubs stuff. I've seen them there before, but especially the one guy has great zambrano patches. I'll get his name next time I see him.

I also went with the Berra on card auto. Overall you cleaned house!!

Thats the first time I have seen the Pepsi cards, but the photos look like I've seen them before. The Ripken, Clemens, and Bonds look real familiar. I'm not about to research it though.

Ha! Love that Mendoza auto

But I vote Berra auto, that auto set is beautiful in person!

Looks MUCH better in person, by far my favorite auto set.
