Swap Meet Score!!!

The first stop in the back forty was a spot that had five or six large plastic tubs of carded HW and some MB. Most in the 97-99 era, although some were earlier or later. I will feature those finds in another post later. So, having felt I sated the urge, I continued to wander, and came across another stand with loose and carded cars. Then I saw this:
