The Oaks Card Show has free admission on the first day, I only had a small window but decided to pop in since the price was right. Here is a brief synopsis of very off-condition vintage cards that were found - Lots of 1951 Bowman.
1951 Bowman #256 Ken Silvestri
1951 Bowman #260 Carl Erskine
1951 Bowman #56 Ralph Branca
1951 Bowman #122 Joe Garagiola
1966 Topps #195 Joe Morgan
1960 Topps #173 Billy Martin
1963 Topps #439 Don Zimmer
The 1951 Bowman Cards were $1.00 each as was the '66 Joe Morgan. The Martin and Zimmer were in a 3 for a buck bin.
The 1966 Topps Joe Morgan is his 2nd year Card and the first card of his where he appears solo. It is in ok condition - some creasing.
The Silvestri and Erskine cards are both HI numbers in the 51 Bowman series. Any Bowman Brooklyn Dodger is probably worth a buck unless it is in really horrible condition.
Joe Garagiola was a big part of my youth as he commentated on the game of the week when I was a kid. Glad to have finally picked up one of his cards.
So yeah I had a real successful show on Friday and fully intend to get back to the show for a fuller day on Sunday.

Great deals on the Bowman vintage, on all the cards. Wish I could find '51 Bowman for a buck, no matter the condition.
I have a few vintage Bowman Phillies kicking around that you might need. Let me know if you're interested.
Wow... 60+ year old cards featuring players I've actually read about and heard of... for a buck?
Man, I'm going to the wrong card shows.
