I own a vintage toy store, but I'll pick up anything I can make a buck on and have been doing so for a long time now. I go to probably 30-50 auctions per year, hit numerous garage sales, antique shows, flea markets, tag sales and scour the internet for poorly listed items.
Some of my better scores have been a game used Tris Speaker bat for $50 that I sold for $9000, a train set for $400 that sold for $7900, a lamp for $3 that sold for $2700. My brother found a vacuform wall hanging of the Universal Monsters Creature From The Black Lagoon for $100 that he sold for $13,000. It now resides in the collection of Kirk Hammett of Metallica.

I check estate auction listings and many times they list "mantle clock" but it's not a Mickey Mantle Clock !!! I keep trying. Best item lately has been a roll of postal stamps ( about 50 +) for $ 1. The owner must have thought they weren't good any longer .

I had a similar find at a paper show, Mike. A book of stamps with a face value in excess of the price asked for the book.
I like Peter Max art and a month or two ago I picked up one of these posters for $3: Stole the image from eBay to show what it looks like. It is a 1970 11 x 16 Peter Max piece for the American Cancer Society's no-smoking campaign. It had great graphics and color and was in great shape. I also found a portfolio of lithos from the 1940s showing Los Angeles sights for a buck that my daughter used to decorate her apartment in college. Probably two best cards I ever picked were a W538 Jennings and a 1948 Kellogg's Pep Mikan RC that ended up a PSA 6. I also found a sportswriter's archive from the late 1960s-early 1970s that had dozens of great pictures and team issued photos, and even a Minnesota Pipers (ABA) team issue card set that included a pre-rookie card of HOFer Connie Hawkins.

Cigarette Poster
That cigarette poster brings back some memories. I totally remember seeing that when I was a kid.

I remember picking a couple of B18 blankets at an antique mall in CO years ago for a few bucks a piece. That was fun.
