Networking is not really applicable anymore. Since everyone in competing, collectors don't tell other collectors, even their friends, anymore.
Honestly, you need to have a lot of disposable income and need to be aware of the large antique sports auction houses like Morphys, Hakes, Jullians, etc,... and/or go to a lot of the major sports collectibles shows. Plus, going to antique shops and antique shows doesn't hurt.
Unfortunately, I'm a poor slob, so I can't get anything good.
