Hit our local Goodwill last night and no cards were seen..Will try Salvation Army one day this week..

I check the thift shops every single time I go to the city, always seem to luck out. Last time I got over 200 cards in an upper deck tin for 10 bucks i do belive I did a video on my youtube channel. I have never hit big but lots of inserts that "moms" have no clue about. LOL

I always have FREE shipping and I specialize in vintage cards. Check out my store, I accept offers and I am always willing to negotiate!

You can always come up to Longmont and spend some money with me.  

May have to do that Jim!

Hit the local Salvation Army and it looked more promising than Goodwill did but no cards there..

Savers always seems to have 80-90s cards mixed into the toy section.  Nothing jumps out at me.  Once in a while they'll have some older stuff in the display case up front but they look up the prices and mark it accordingly.
If you are anywhere in New England, look up the Brimfield Antique show.  When we aren't having a virus lockdown, they have the show 3 times a year and it's MASSIVE.  You cannot see everything there in a single day.  There are always some vendors scattered through the show who have sports cards.  I find that if you go on Friday or Saturday as the show is winding down they are willing to make crazy offers to clear whatever they have left in their sections.

The thrift shop close to my house has a bunch of cards for 10 cents each. Almost all modern commons, unfortunately I didn't see any good rookies. I was able to pluck out some older Topps cards:

1977 Football:

Harold Jackson, JV Cain, Brian Baschnagel, Howard Twilley, Andre Tillman, Mel Gray, Bill Stanfill, Bill Simpson, John Leypoldt, Mike Phipps, Walker Gillette, John Hicks

1975 Baseball:

Dave Guisti

1977 Baseball:

Mickey Lolich, Ted Simmons, Willie Davis, Jon Matack, Jose Cardenal, Jerry Reuss, Mike Norris

Nothing spectacular but I've wasted $2.00 on dumber stuff.

I have come across some 1st ed. Base set Pokemon cards at goodwill on several occasions. Not since the political virus hit.

I hesitate to say this, it will lead to more competition, but in the interest of the set builders like me, go to shopgoodwill.com. It is an auction site for almost all of the Goodwill stores in the US. Usually a lot of junk era stuff, but sometimes there are some gems on there. Just keep in mind that there are other collectors and maybe even some of the "investors" bidding also. The most important thing is to check the shipping cost first; sometimes that adds too much for it to be worth it. If you sign up as a user, you can get an actual shipping cost for each item.If you have any 'how do I' questions you can PM me here and I'll help you out....unless you plan on bidding for something I'm bidding on! Just kidding. 

I second that as well..Have yet to buy anything from here but the shipping costs appear better then the inflated shipping costs people charge on eBay.
