A Dollar at the Dime Box - Mansfield Show - Pt 4

Here's the fourth installment of five featuring cards plucked from the dime box at a recent show. This one's a bit heavy on the Red Sox, with 5 of the 10 cards filling in gaps in my Sox collection...

I was surprised to see that Daisuke made the checklist for 2013 Topps.  This card here's a Topps Stars insert from the 2007 set.

Pedro is on the short list of players who I simply cannot leave behind in a dime box.

Here's one more of those Baseball Flashbacks Heritage inserts that I showed some of a couple of posts back.  Killer is one of the most under-rated superstars of yesteryear.  Had he played in New York or Boston his cards would demand more of a premium.

I've talked more than once about my guilty pleasure of accumulating Alexandre Daigle cards, and here's another one.  This card is ugly as sin but I just couldn't leave it in the box.  I know it's an illness, I'm working on it.

Another cheap early-'90s Classic issue, this is from the same insert set as the Teemu Selanne that was in the first dime box post.

I can't put my finger on why, pretty sure it's 90% nostalgia, but few things from the junk wax era appeal to me more than the Fleer Ultra rookies from the first couple of baseball/basketball/hockey sets that featured the gold foil ROOKIE ribbon.  A dime for Felix?  No question, a great looking card.

I don't post nearly enough of them here, but I definitely have a thing for oddball cards, including the atrocious-looking Classic releases like this one.  These are sometimes tough to find without some condition wear, at least in my experience, so I would have paid $1 for this mint condition Griffey.  This was definitely one of the cards I was happiest to stumble across in my time standing at the dime box.

I'll close this one with a trio of Red Sox.  Wade Boggs, who I recently acquired an on-card auto of at long last, from the 1987 Donruss Baseball Highlights set...

...a Jon Lester Opening Day card (yes I know an Opening Day common is not a great dime box find)...

...and another Pedro (see above).

I have one more round of 10 from the dime box to post this weekend, as well as a couple more trade packages...
