I've got a few singles from the Charter Members set through repacks but I would definitely grab a set if I found it for three bucks. <br />My wife loves garage sales, although we really don't go to very many and I hardly ever find cards there.Swing And A Pop-uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15366868132258608938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-42180682682698515042014-06-09T08:32:15.747-05:002014-06-09T08:32:15.747-05:00I gotta say that's an awesome collection.

I think mine is broken up, though I believe all the cards are somewhere in storage. I doubt I have the box itself, and if I have the chance to buy an intact set for $3 in the future I'll certainly do it.

You almost have to waste a whole day to find anything worthwhile. I posted about one key garage sale place I went to 3 years in a row, but that's long gone.<br /><br />I have a fair amount of 45s from the '70s/'80s (just about every No. 1 song from '60s-'80s) if that's anything the Dime Box household is interested in.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-26639098958969383912014-06-06T20:15:53.175-05:002014-06-06T20:15:53.175-05:00If I'd ever found anything that interesting at...If I'd ever found anything that interesting at a garage sale, I'd probably spend more time going to them.<br /><br />For the first few years, Topps actually had a Stadium Club that you could join (for a fee, of course.)
