i don't know how often the 'baseball specials' bin gets updated at the quasi-card shop that is nearest to me, but i stop in maybe once every two or three months just to check. here are some goodies that i picked up for around 30 cents a pop.
2002 topps archives reserve don sutton

this is one shiny sob. works well with the psychedelic tombstone.
1992 kellogg's all stars bill madlock

not sure what was more surprising to me - kellogg's making a bill madlock card in 1992 or kellogg's making a bill madlock as a dodger card. either way, i'm glad they did.
2008 upper deck sp cory wade

were these rookie exclusives short prints or just available in blasters? i think i recall buying a blaster and getting a 5-pack of rookie exclusives. no dodgers though.
2006 bowman chrome brad penny

brad penny is like a bad penny - he keeps popping up everywhere. next season, it will be in saint louis, where he'll be a teammate of this guy's
2008 upper deck o-pee-chee insert albert pujols

kinda sorta a ripoff of 1969 topps. the studio shot is a look at things to come with 2009 opc.
finally, the beautiful 1974 topps dave kingman card

i've wanted this card for a while after seeing it on a few different blogs. it is the yang to the
1974 topps steve garvey's yin; the hell to garvey's heaven; the mr. glass to garvey's david dunn. you get the idea.

That Madlock card always confused me. When I sort my cards by year, I'm forever putting it with cards from 1986/87, only to realize it's a card from '92.
I think the SP rookie exclusives were only in blasters. I'm not sure, but I didn't buy a pack of SP last year. I'm ashamed to say I bought a blaster and I have that card.
