True. One of my big finds a few years ago was a plain looking 1891 Athletic Club tournament program with ticket stub at an antique paper show.
I looked inside the program and one of the last names listed looked familiar, but I figured it was too good to be true. I took the chance and picked it up for 50 bucks.
When I got home and did the research, I found out it was the program and ticket for the 4th and 5th recorded fights of "Barbados" Joe Walcott.
