RE: Let's hear about your greatest bargain bin find
I've had many great finds at card shows including a 1992 Stadium Club East Coast National Barry Bonds and a 1998 Topps Minted in Cooperstown Barry Bonds both pulled from a huge 5 for $1 box. I also picked this up out of a $1 box at a LCS long since closed.

RE: Let's hear about your greatest bargain bin find
Some other "non-bin" pickups from my youth (mainly basketball). My hometown LCS used to package all of the undesirable basketball rookies of any certain year into team bags and sold them for $1. I bought 5 of them and while I walked away with only 1 Stephon Marbury, I managed to escape with 10 Kobe Bryant and 8 Steve Nash Rookies.
The same guy had one of those vending machines where you put your quarters into the slot and get a random card. For 50 cents I got a 1992-93 Upper Deck Shaquille O'Neal RC - the non-redemption one. It's been in a case ever since and I'm considering having it graded ... it's pretty sharp.

Looking mostly for HOF players.....game used, rc, #D, autos, and mike Schmidt autos and game used

Not sure if this counts but paid $4 for a 2012 Topps Series 2 box break and hit the Harper SP that sells for over $100 on the bay. My best turn around ever, but I'm keeping this card.
