Most of my collection comes from antique shopping. I regularly go to antique shops, flea markets, and antique shows. I am amazed at what is still out there waiting to be found. My favorite antique event is the Brimfield antique show. It is coming up in a week and a half. A few thousand antique dealers come to Brimfield MA for a week. It is difficult to find reasonably priced cards but memorabilia and ephemera is reasonably available. Last year I found a 33 All Star scorecard with Ruth pictured on the cover, some color transparencies of 1960s players, a full woman's basketball uniform from circa 1915, an 1891 schedule booklet with woodcuts of Boston AA and NL teams, and more.
