Garage sale pickup

For the first time in years, I went to a couple of garage sales on Saturday, and at one of them I actually found some cards worth buying. I ended up with two binders of minor league card sets, and a few loose pages from other binders the guy had. The cards were almost all in the 1991-1993 range so there wasn't a whole lot I need on the major league level. For $20 it wasn't bad. It's funny how if I saw this on eBay for $20 I wouldn't give it a second thought, but it's just more fun to buy in person.

The big binder had the 650-card 1991 Line Drive AA set. I didn't realize I already had over 2/3 of the set, but that still meant I needed almost 200 cards from it. The binders were picked over a bit, either before or during the garage sale. Some stars were missing and also some commons. So I still need ten cards, a couple of big stars (Pudge, Thome) and some commons as well. I stuck the numbers on my wantlist. And of course I have lots to trade, including some fairly big names that were still in there.

The loose pages I took included a near-complete 1992 Donruss Rookies set. I had less than half of this set, and now just need #69 Pedro Martinez to finish it off.

The other set had four complete or nearly-complete Syracuse Chiefs sets. 1990 . . .

. . . 1991 . . .

. . . 1992 (missing Al Leiter and David Weathers) . . .

. . . and 1994.

Among the miscellaneous cards I picked up was this sheet of 2004 Fleer Mets from the New York Post, which I cut up. I got the Yankee sheet a few years ago.

1992 Bowmans are not a common occurrence in the wild. I needed all but Miller.

Some Ultra inserts including five from the Eckersley set.

Some more oddballs I picked up along the way of paging through the other binders. Didn't mean to add the wrestling card, so that's up for trade. Turned out I already had almost all of these, except for a couple of the '93 Score and '92 Topps Kids.
