Then, went to a new card shop in Tacoma. They had just moved so the cards were completely disorganized. I got the next 4 (plus 4 unscanned) for $5:

2005 Threads Adrian Arrington Red Retail Rookie #d 1/10. I got it for a quarter...I'll buy Rookies #d/10 for a quarter all day long!

Then the last card. I bought the Lincecum for $40 thinking I would resell it and make a small profit.

It's tough to tell in the scan but the bottom of the card has foil raised up in a couple of spots. I e-mailed the seller to see what he wanted to do. I suggest two things: 1) I just send it back and get a refund or 2) If he wanted to refund me half, I'd keep the card. Lincecum is a local boy born in Bellevue so I shouldn't have a problem getting $20 for it.

The seller picked a third option and refunded me $30 and let me keep the card! So basically I got a Tim Lincecum 2007 Bowman's Best RC auto for $10.

Thanks for the look and soory for the long read.
 
Great stuff, great story! Love finding a great deal in the commons bin!
