Default Favorite personal vintage "find" or research story

Posted By: Jeff Mohler

I started a thread on this a while ago and received very few responses. I for one would be fascinated to read posts about finds

My only find was about a year ago at an estate auction which advertised three old baseball cards. At the sale I could not even identify them, but the looked like cards so I bought them for 20 dollars each. They turned out to be blank backed Pinkerton post cards of Tinker, Jennings and Nap Rucker. I was happy to have something "new to the hobby" even though they are in terrible condition.

The Pinkertons are some of my favorites pieces in my collection since I was the one who found them and "rescued them" from people who really didn't care about them!
