My favorite part of those old shows was that the owners would often bring the sealed boxes that weren't selling in their shops, and mark them down for the show in an attempt to move some old stock.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-40929948812424799152018-04-17T10:33:26.886-07:002018-04-17T10:33:26.886-07:00Thanks, guys!

It's about a half-hour drive from Lake Oswego, so not too bad. Yeah, you should totally try to make it to a show if it fits with your schedule! http://www.twinoaksshows.com/defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-48991309841543212452018-04-16T18:05:14.061-07:002018-04-16T18:05:14.061-07:00A Niekro rookie for $4?

As far as I'm aware there are no shows within public transport distance, but I would be afraid someone would accidentally smash or purposefully steal my backpack if there was. I can get to Wrigley with a 30-40 minute bus ride & 10 min walk, thoughCommunity Gumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296365794796762616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-57775847678899856542018-04-14T18:19:20.767-07:002018-04-14T18:19:20.767-07:00Great pickups and you saved the environment a bit ...Great pickups and you saved the environment a bit too!SumoMenkoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461389544030702085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-26053740310075239972018-04-14T18:01:46.872-07:002018-04-14T18:01:46.872-07:00Nice pickups!Nice pickups!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02949460127063264497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-42768275829115247722018-04-14T17:57:42.131-07:002018-04-14T17:57:42.131-07:00I've always taken public transport to get to m...I've always taken public transport to get to my local show as well.

I wouldn't have done it if the weather was bad because I wouldn't want to walk bringing home cards if it is raining or snowing.Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652380890985105416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709402326341729642.post-74394959258594286062018-04-14T16:57:08.474-07:002018-04-14T16:57:08.474-07:00I've almost always taken public transit to the...I've almost always taken public transit to the big local show, it's right off the train a couple stops away from my house. Well, that and the fact that it costs $15 to park in the lot there (which can be better used for buying cards!).<br /><br />Great finds, as usual! The Cowan is definitely one of my favorite cards of the '70s, and I'm quite fond of those Fleer World Series cartoons as well.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.com
