The flea market that I prefer opened on Sunday and I was able to check it out. Between COVID and a golf course job, I hadn't been to this place in a few years.
I enjoyed a nice walk through the place, even though it was windy and cold. Lots of people were selling cards and even some Starting Lineups. I picked up a few sets (1986 and 1987 Topps) because they were $3 and they looked to be in great shape.
The $3 bin also had a couple of basketball sets from the junk wax era, but they had Jordans as well as a few cheaper insert sets so I grabbed them too.
That price led me to grab a few other smaller sets. I didn't spend a lot of time checking the sets before buying them because if they didn't take the Jordans, they certainly didn't take out other stars.
One 400-count box was labeled on the side as some football set that I didn't want. When I put it down I noticed that they wrote Schilling on the side. I opened it to find only Curt Schilling cards - 400 of them. No rookies, but probably a nice lot for someone. Who in Chicago kept all of those cards of Schilling? Does anyone want to trade for a box full of Schillings?
