Some low level value box style digging

At card shows, I like the idea of cobbling cards together that make sense to me - my take home stash may not be worth much all together [charged $10 in this instance], but depending on what I find, I can exercise a certain nuance in picking out my keepers off a particular table.

Angels material - 3 for $1  - the Angels are my team to collect them through rain, sleet or snow, but I can't help but feel there is a janky quality that lingers from the top of the organization down to the product on the field. 

2021 Topps Chrome Shohei Ohtani #159 - he really hasn't had that all-world season with the bat and on the mound, has had some uneven performances in recent starts.
2021 Topps Finest Shohei Ohtani #54
2021 Topps Finest Mike Trout #57 - was in an 0-for-26 hole, may have busted out off that until his groin gave out.
2021 Topps Finest Finest Legacies Mike Trout, Vladimir Guerrero #FL-MT
2021 Topps Gallery Shohei Ohtani #96 

$1 each
2016 Topps Chrome Mike Trout #1 
2021 Topps Archives Snapshots Jo Adell #19 - he's had to step in where it seems like he's as bad as some Angels fans want him to be, where the 23-year old's abilities just doesn't translate into skills that make him a legitimate big leaguer.


$1 each
1960 Fleer Baseball Greats Zack Wheat #12 
1960 Fleer Baseball Greats Dazzy Vance #51 
1961 Fleer Baseball Greats Chuck Klein #51
1962 Post Cereal Richie Ashburn #186

$0.50 each
1961 Topps Don Mossi #14
 

I was able to scrounge up some vintage cards and while they came from the depths of some cheap-o boxes and not showcase material - maybe having some 60 year old pieces of cardboard in hand should be some sort of accomplishment. 


$2 each 
2021 Bowman's Best Refractor Marco Luciano #20 [x2] - whoever knows with some of these top prospects, but looks like this shortstop prospect is having a good year in Single-A. 
2021 Bowman's Best Refractor Andrew Vaughn #21 - he had an unspectacular rookie season in 2021, but has shown better production with the bat so far.

I had a chance to watch Luciano play a few times last year when he was in San Jose. Seems like he has a bright future ahead of him.

Solid deal on the vintage, especially the Post Ashburn.
