About 10 years ago, while at a thrift store, I found a 1968 issue of the Paddy Wagon kit that was incomplete but in the box was two of the Tom Daniels trading cards. One was of the Sand Crab dune buggy and the other was the Tijuana Taxi. Also in the box was a complete Pyro BSA Lightning motorcycle kit. All for $10.

I sold the two cards seperately on EBay for $22 and I think I traded the Paddy Wagon box for a kit. The BSA kit I still have waiting to build it.

Here in Montgomery, Al, there is a flea market with three levels. Literally thousands of booths. Well, one day after going to get car insurance, I decided to stop by. I looked around for a good couple of hours. I managed to find a Revell Mustang combo kit and I think it was an early 60's corvette. Was heading out the door when I found "the stash". Not really hidden, just hard to get to. I picked up a Lindberg Snark for $10, two Hasegawa F-104's for $12 each, an Academy CH-53 for either $35 of $40.( I can't remember), an Accurate miniatures TBF Avenger for $10, and a Hasegawa B-47 for $20. So, around $100 for eight models. I already sold the CH-53 as it was way out of my skill level and also the B-47 as I just wasn't ready to do all of that work to make it look good.

But, it was still a pretty good haul.
