Hanging Tuff

 So last week I planned on a few more posts and writing more often, but then I saw I didn't have a lot of exciting stuff to show.  I have been showing a lot of movies and such and while its what I'm doing a lot of lately, with as few posts as I do, its like 90% of the last year of posts and I wanted something different.  So I had to dive into some other folders and I found a few things card related, so I figured it was time to clean up and show them off.

 

 Not the order I wanted, but oh well.  I was surprised on an October trip to Savvy Seconds, my local second hand store to find these old magazines.  I don't know why but I preferred Tuff Stuff to Beckett growing up, though I didn't buy either all too much.  I guess the reason was Beckett was usually a different magazine for each sport, and Tuff Stuff covered all the sports in one magazine.  This wasn't the first time I found some price guides there and I can't remember if these also contained cards like the others did.  I'm pretty sure they did, including some comic cards.  I don't have pictures, but maybe in a future post I will show them.  Until then, this is the best I got.  I paid 10 cents each for these, so I think I did pretty well.

This also cost a dime, and it was something that was unique.  Its for a comic book store I guess to either order or give a heads up of new comics coming out.  This I know featured cards, maybe the comic cards I mentioned earlier.  I don't think I've removed any from the magazines yet, which is why I haven't scanned them or even took photos.  Maybe I will try to scan some of the pages at a future date.

Aside from magazines, I also got a folder.

I haven't seen these folders in almost two decades or more, but I really wanted to get a few of them.  I don't know what I will use them for, but I always liked the look of them and wanted to get some.  I remember growing up I had a Will Clark one, but no longer have it.  I've seen some on Ebay, but usually too much for me.  For a dime this was an easy purchase.

Next is not card related, but figured I would show it.  I paid a dollar for it, and haven't used it much, but I am still glad I bought it.

So a selfie stick wasn't something I had on my radar, especially since I don't have a phone to use for it.  However I was hoping my digital camera would work on it, and it does.  I can use it to take different angle of photos, and also when I film video like parades, I can take it from a higher spot to get a better view.  Again, since I haven't gotten out much in the last year, I haven't had a chance to use it, but it will get some use soon I bet.

Not much more for today, but I did find something in the free bin that I thought I'd show.

Free is free and I actually was thinking about getting one of these one time, but I'd rather have an external one.  I have a few floppy discs and curious what if anything is on them.  I haven't had the chance to check this out yet (not sure if I have all the stuff for it), but I think after I finish a few other projects, I might work on it.  I have a desktop I could try it out on.  Its funny how big floppies were and how little space they held.  Today you can get 1TB of info on a flash drive or a sd card.  It's also cheap enough to get a few to have on hand.  Its great to have on hand when keeping track of your collection.  Phones today also have enough space to do the same thing.

All in all another good trip, and I think I might have even got cards on that day.  I haven't scanned in a while, but hope to do it soon and I'll have some card posts.  Until then, posts like these will have to do.  Thanks everyone for reading and I hope everyone has a great weekend.  I'm watching Death Wish on Pluto and hope to find 2 and 3 on there or streaming somewhere as well, then I have a package I got today to check out.  Not card related but I'm excited about it.  Anyways, it should be a fun weekend.
