Almost once a month there is a "card show" in Northwest Arkansas, either in Fayetteville or Rogers. It's almost always pretty weak, with 3-5 dealers at the most. One dealer sells mostly DVDs so I shouldn't count him. These shows are usually so uninteresting, I skip going altogether much less posting about them. Today's show was nothing less than ho-hum, but I did find a few things from one dealer. He had a chunk of Gypsy Queen base cards in a dime box. I went to the show unprepared with my checklist so I wasn't sure what I needed. Since they were only a dime each, I just bought them all and hopefully will be able to make some headway on my Gypsy Queen set. There were also a few Gypsy Queen minis that I thought I should grab at $.10 each:
The same seller had a $.25 box for vintage stuff, and I found a few things that I liked:
These will either go to my sampler album, or hopefully to Cardboard Catastrophes. I know he is collecting the 1976 set, so maybe I can help out now.
I also got a couple of 1975 Topps Minis and a Kelloggs all star card of Larry Bowa. Again, the minis will be part of the sampler album unless the Night Owl can use them. The reason I picked up the Bowa escapes me at the moment. Surely I had a reason....

Bowa looks like a photo I saw on "Unsolved Mysteries" back in the day. I can hear Robert Stack's voice describing the chaos that Bowa has caused.
