Default Favorite all time finds

My favorite all-time antique mall finds would include:

1) HOF Ted Lyon's 1926 no-hitter ticket and scorebook that I was able to find earlier this year. This came from an antique shop in Caimbridge, MA.
2) A scored program from HOF Sandy Koufax's incredible 382K game in 1965. This record would be broken by Nolan Ryan's NL standard of 383 K's in 1973 (note that this was the first year of the designated hitter). What was really neat about the Koufax program is that I found it in an antique mall right up the street from my house when I lived in So Cal. I think I paid $10 for the program back in the early 1990's.

My all-time favorite eBay find was also ironically a pickup from earlier this year. An actual game used ball with vintage fountain pen inscription from HB "Dutch" Leonard's no-hitter in 1916 at Fenway Park.

Here are a few photos. Sorry for the crappy quality of the shots; I didn't take them. I need to take the time to upgrade these photos to do them justice.
