batting 1.000 with the bargain bin!
As most of you know, I've gotten some steals the past few weeks from the 10 dollar bargain bin...this time...I got it from the FIVE dollar bin (5 dollars ea or 20 for 5)
(and yes I know this isn't the football forum, but these were the other 2!)

RE: batting 1.000 with the bargain bin!
I'm callin' HGH on you. All of a sudden your batting 1.000? Mmhmm, Suuuuurree. Last time you couldn't hit it out of the infield. I see how it is.....
All joking aside
That's pretty friggen epic indeed. What does this bin look like? Any cards from the 70s?

Those 3 baseball cards are definitely steals at $5 a piece, let alone the $4 you ended up paying by getting 5 cards.

The price will vary greatly based on condition. Keep in mind Beckett bases value for cards on condition, and the lower the condition the bigger the hit in value. I don't have a magazine handy, but they have a chart at the beginning of the price guide that shows percentage of book value to assign a card based on condition. For lower condition cards it drops pretty significantly down to 10% of book value. So while it may seem like a bargain to get a $100 card for $10, if the card is in poorer condition then you are actually paying full book value for that condition.
