Patronizing a new shop

A new shop has opened within about 45 minutes of me.  I spent about an hour and about seventy bucks in there today.  It was kind of tough navigating around all of the Magic Players but I want to share some cool goodies I got all from the $1 bin!
 Could any Padre fan use this Golden Gem?
 Picked up any #'d card I could find including football.
 Going into Woody's pile?
 PC Black Gold
 Day Glow! Rangers Collectors?
 Very shiny
 Numbered to a cool 10000
 I remember when these were the BOSS
 Goes to Hot Corner if he wants it
 2 Hall of Famers who were Dominators.  Bossy Sticker
 Gold that I may have a home for
 Which Sox guy wants this one? # to 100
 As I said I bought anything #'d
 You can't tell but that's a Dale Murphy Phillies Hologram
 Bulger with the Saints. I never knew
 I like Chucky Atkins
 I know a Canseco guy that may want this
 Can't pass up vintage, even Hockey
 Night Owl-Do you need a Toy Cannon
 O vintage
 Steroid Project?
 Someone thought this was HTF. Worth a buck to me
 Would have rather had the 88 Rookies Edgar but o well
 When I was 10 I would have gone crazy for getting this one
 A Smoltz rookie!
 Biggio rookie. Yes Please
 Now it gets dicey....A Vern Fleming from 86-86 Fleer
 Had this on the back.
 Now to the dicey part. The owner says these are reprints and by these...
 Someone thought this was legit at one point
 I'm sure it's fake but couldn't take that chance
 Don't think this was supposed to be in the Dollar Bin
 Now here is where I spent some cash
 $35 to be exact
 But not for a Reggie Ball
 Sweet bag
 It's certified

And shaky Auto or not...It's all mine!

I will definitely be back to the shop as they are only partially set up.  Opportunity for my sweepstakes comes off the table this evening.

3 Blasters of 2012 Topps Archives featuring a PC Hit

Not sure why I popped on these but....Just can't resist a discounted blaster. 
 I ended up with a stack of base
 3 Floating Heads
 The Reggie is staying here but maybe Josh D wants this Brett?
 A Marichal Hot Box!

 Maybe it's just a Giant's Hot Box?


 Marichal again?!
 Collation was pretty bad
 But I did snag a Mick
 The Chipper fits nicely here at the Junkpile
 Poor collation.  Performance enhancing edition. Allegedly
 I like these two better!
 Is this guy still a big deal?
 A Huddy hit. On his birthday?? Gotta be fate!
Opportunity five is still up for grabs but for how long?

I return. Opportunity 4 is awarded. Opportunity 5 is available.

Good day to all!  Didn't intend to have an extended absence but I have started a new job and time is at a premium right now.  I did want to drop in and award opportunity four of my clearinghouse sweepstakes!  No scans today as my camera is out on loan.  Just congratulations to the winner of the randomizer.......

Sam of Dimwit fame!  He joins Josh D, Jafronius, & Backstop Cards in the field of 21.

Who will join them at the winners table?  Opportunity five is up for grabs.

What do you know about Gary Redus?  Leave a comment and you're in!

Good Luck
