While I was home for Christmas I found out that Alco (think Kmart for small towns, similar to the old Pamida stores) is closing up shop and everything in the store was up to 60% off. So while gobbling up Walking Dead toys and DVDs I picked up two 2010 Bowman Chrome blasters for $10 each. Based on the positive results of those, I went back and got the other two ... I was pretty impressed by all for.

Grand total of $40 nabbed me the following (better than some hobby boxes I've seen recently), along with a bunch of others.

Colors and serial numbers ... Vazquez is /25, Perez /150, others 500-999.


Notable base cards and unnumbered refractors:

There are a couple Alco stores near me as well....actually went to one last night to see if the sales were worth it. I never knew they sold cards though. Usually that's something I try to find first and before they started liquidating I don't think I ever saw cards at one.

Nice found though and great hits!

Awesome! You did well!
I was wondering where Streaky was ... He certainly hasn't been hanging out with me the past month!

If they've got any left they'd be over in the electronics "department" near the printers, USBs, etc. Never had a huge selection, but there were some good deals once in a while. I left the 2010 Topps and 2011 Topps Series 1 for someone else.

I think he must have been on vacation, because he certainly wasn't with me up until this week. It was so bad, I took to buying singles for a while instead.

I hear you. I busted about a dozen boxes from Black Friday to Xmas and except for a Buster Posey auto from TriStar and a 2008 David Wright auto ... Nothing of great merit. Tell me when Streaky is back on the move, so I can welcome him back.

He might very well be on the move again, as once I pay a couple of bills I'll probably be tapped out for a couple of weeks following the holidays. Stupid season of giving
