It's another one of those shops that you can find treasures, but you have to dig. It's located in a small shopping center just west of Route 41A and Old Hickory Blvd.
We affectionately call it "Clio South".
There are a lot of oddball items, gaming cards, and toys. We were there just for the cards.
Spent a few hours. This is what I came away with.
The Cris Carter is on top of a significant stack of '95 Topps football singles. Also found some of the Hit List inserts. The rest are set build hits - '08 Score, '95 Ultra Senstations (watch for them in a future post), '95 SP, 1983 Fleer Team Action, '06 Rookie Debut, and '02 UD XL.
Some random Redskins that didn't look familiar. Pacific, a Rookie Debut short print, Mayo mini, and two more XL's.
On the baseball side, some of those famous 1991 Topps variations, including one you don't see often. A few 2002 Traded and '08 A&G set hits, plus a couple oddball player collection singles.
That rare variation was the white border Chris Hoiles. It will reside with my copy of the Whiten card with the hand outside the border.
When we were done digging, the owner simply asked us how many we had. We paid 10¢ each for everything.
Wowza. That's a lot of boxes that are scattered all over the place. Didn't even realize there were 1991 Topps variations. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteYou were in my neck of the woods, and you didn't even stop in to say hi? :)
ReplyDeleteBeen here many times, it's pure chaos! On the flip side though, John, the owner, is one of the few people that I've interacted with, who actually remembers me every time I go in there.
Aw dang! That would have been cool!
DeleteYeah John's an interesting character for sure.
