Antique Store Finds

Went to local antique store here few a week ago. One vendor have an item I been wanting to pickup.

It was this Racing Champions diecast featuring wrestler Scott Norton who wrestled in WCW and Japan. The same vendor also have grab bags of cards ranging from $1 to $2. The bags contain baseball, football, basketball, hockey, and non-sport cards. I picked up a two $2 bags.

One contains 1992 Pro Set football while the other have animals. I never had any of those cards in my collection. I did research on animal cards and turns out they were Mundus Amicus Endangered Species cards. The set was produced in 1992. In fact it was entire set while several extra cards. Great find for $2!

The cards range from reptiles, big cats, avians, and panda.

Three zoos are mentioned on the set. I only been to San Diego Zoo once back in 2002.

1992 Pro Set grab bag contains 46 cards along with few repeats. I got the following: Herschel Walker, Dan McGwire, Mark Schlereth (both base and All-Pro), Mike Singletary (both base and All Pro), Webster Slaughter, Patrick Rowe (X2), Charles Mann (All Pro), Vaughn Dunbar, Troy Vincent, Calvin Williams, Rodney Peete, John Booty, Cleveland Gary, Willie Drewrey, Keith Jackson (X2), David Wyman (X2), Jerry Gray (X2 and in Reebok Pump), Tony Sacca (X2), Marquez Pope, Christian Okoye (X2), Greg McMurtry, Nate Lewis, Will Furrer, Jessie Tuggle, Sam Mills (All Pro), Quentin Coryatt, Richmond Webb, Mark Carrier, Bruce Matthews, Browning Nagle, Shannon Sharpe, Kevin Call, AFC-Spirit of the Game, Ricky Sanders, Brad Edwards, Alonzo Spellman

Not a bad haul out of it. Reason for me picking up Scott Norton diecast? He made a guest appearance at Danny DeManto's ICW No Hold Barred event in San Antonio. The results?
Now that's too sweet!

  1. Great finds. Neve seen those Pro Set cards. Wonder if those are the Series II for that year. The tiger and panda cards have good photos. The Shannon Sharpe and Okoye are also good shots. Fun post.

  2. That's pretty cool that you had Norton sign the packaging of your diecast car. And that set of zoo cards is an awesome find! Congratulations.
