I'm always on the lookout for cards especially in places where they probably shouldn't be...like Best Buy...on my drive to Wisconsin this week, I stopped in Ellsworth, IA for some gas. The station in Ellsworth is attached to a Subway so I figured two-birds-one-stone. I would say this particular Subway is the cultural center of the surrounding thirty miles and the line for a sub was the longest I'd ever seen at a Subway...I headed over to the other side of the gas station which is called a "
Kum & Go"...please, hold your snickering...
So right there between the
Kum & Go sweatshirts and the Des
Moines tourist guides sits a handful of football, baseball, and...wait for it...High School the Musical cards.

So is this the worst card display ever? It's bad, but they get major points for having current sets. There could easily have been 2007
Topps Series 2 sitting there collecting dust.
What's the oddest place you've ever found cards for sale?

There's a stack of cards in it for you if you send me one. I'm a size medium.
HILARIOUS!
Seriously.
and Beardy... a medium? Really? *snicker*
Mind you, this was not at the register, but in an AISLE of home improvement goods.
Dig the blog.
Weirdest place to find baseball cards, eh? Ok, I think I was a freshman in college or something and on one of my holiday breaks I found myself out with my mom and grandmother antiquing. I don't know, man, I didn't have a car back then. What was I supposed to do.
So I'm tagging along with them looking at furniture and crap and at one of the stores I found an old Cadaco Baseball Game, the one with the spinners and player discs. This version was one of them with the player pictures on the discs so I bought it. My mom and grandmother were like, "Only you could find baseball stuff here". I was actually the only one who bought something that day if I remember correctly.
