Maybe that’s in pesos.

Or Chilean Pesos

Mitch Hedberg!

I was literally just talking to coworker about his McDonald's bit. "We've got spaghetti ... and blankets."

How do you feel about frilly toothpicks?

First time posting thrift finds. I've been at it a couple years now, mostly for personal use but this forum has been a great asset for me to identify the good stuff. I don't go out of my way to flip but I know enough now to be opportunistic and have posted a nice little profit including cost of items for myself. Thrifts in my area aren't great, but they are at least cheap, so I do find some crazy deals. On a bit of a hot streak the past couple weeks so figured it was a good time to share.

Shirts - Lands End MiUSA madras ($4) for me, UNTUCKit x2 (both $4) for flip, crazy Polo pattern ($6) for flip, would definitely keep if not a XXL. Seta Per Uomo silk shirt ($4), know nothing about this brand but the comps looked good.

Pants - all for flip - etro Milano multi-color pinstripe ($1), All Saints Japanese Selvedge ($5.50), orange tab MiUSA mom jeans ($7).

Outerwear - Bills Pro Line Starter jacket ($15) Hilfiger fleece ($3.50, is this the Hilfiger I'm looking for?), And a personal favorite MiUSA 1990s era (based on old Berkley address on tag) North Face insulated parka for National Park Service ($10), fit is perfect.

Samuelshon gun club check sport coat ($3) in my size, didnt get a good pic prior to sending to cleaners but here's the fabric.

Shoes - AE Shell MacNeils (five ******* dollars) in outstanding condition, can still read the cordovan mark on sole. Some weird white powdery stuff on them but it brushes right off. Would flip but they are my friends size, so throwing them his way as a wedding gift. Pay it forward I suppose.

Not pictured - 7 BB makers ties ($1 ea), lots looks like the best way to flip ties so I'll be trying that out. Also got a stained vintage Brooks Bros wash and wear khaki cotton/poly poplin jacket ($6), 3 roll 2 sack cut, could be a nice summer option so I'm using it as a stain removal project.

Thanks again for the wealth of information here.

Maker?
Church?

No idea on the maker. Several searches of the last # returned nothing. On J.press's site they currently have some Trickers collab shoes, but those are marked Trickers. Deets:

Theres 1 brass nail in center edge of the heel, if you can't see it. Anyone have a guess who makes em?

Could be wrong...but my first thought is Sanders?

Non thrift find. Paid up a little but I think she was worth it.

Not thrift, but my son pulled this out of a $20 pack from Target last night.
Should be north of ten grand. Needless to say, he was pretty excited.

@dahl5yankees people pay 10k for that recent of a card? Learn something new everyday... that's awesome!

The card his son found is 1 of a run of 99. That's a pretty rare card in today's market. It will be fun to see where it ends up...

I wish I had sold off my cards when they were still worth something. I sat on them for far too long, and now the rookie stars of the 80s are worthless. A friend wanted me to sell his 70s cards, and even those were pretty worthless. As it turns out, sports cards are mostly only valuable during the players' careers, with some notable exceptions of course! And old cards can be valuable regardless.

That's amazing. Convince him to sell it ASAP before the Ohtani wagon derails even slightly.
