Default Flea Market finds?

Do you guys ever get lucky with flea markets? Im not speaking co op antique shops, but standard flea markets, indoor or outdoor? We have one IN Mansfield at the drive in near Uconn, where I will be setting up this Sunday morning (cheap plug..haha), where I have seen folks find Ted Williams Root beer cases and Mel Ott model gloves for five bucks, as best deals I think I've seen. No super fabulous finds.

What are some of you guys best flea market finds?

Love flea markets! I find most of my items at various fleas and junk/second hand stores or vintage clothing stores. There is a flea here in town that I visit every Sunday and have landed several interesting things (nothing very valuable, but some quite collectable) including a First year Calgary Cannons AAA game jersey (Mariners minor league affiliate at the time); a few pacific coast league game bats and balls; CFL football items etc. The thrill is in the hunt and prices can't be beat!

Flea market upstate ny years ago. Black red stitched ball M.Ott hits no.29 30 home runs 1929 on the ball. Not signed, double header etc. 20 bucks , sold for 4 , 000. Another time which I still have . Signed Jackie Robinson, signed best wishes Jackie Robinson on the tape. On a clemente model. 75.00. Definitely real. Some of my best buys. I am one who searches high and low for things. And it pays off sometimes.

Default Calgary Flea Market

Chris W,
Is that the Hillhurst Sunnyside flea market? I used to go to that and even set up the odd time. It was great and you never knew what you were going to find. Also funny to see many of the Saturday morning "garage-salers" setting up at the market to sell their Saturday morning finds. Good times!

I've found a couple smaller things: Kansas City Athletics pennant, '82 Topps traded set with the Ripken for dirt cheap. It's always fun searching for the next big find.
