My parents were antique dealers so I grew up going to Flea Markets, Garage Sales and Auctions. I have had numerous finds through the years but some of the better ones include 1915 PM1 pin of Eppa Rixey in a free box at a garage sale. A run of complete Topps sets from 1955 - 1961 for $100.00 each. I was only able to afford two of the sets at the time so I bought the 1956 and 1961 sets. A nice 1952 Red Man set with the tabs found in an Antique shop. I later sold this to 707 which I regret doing. Around 12-14 autographed team balls from the early 1960's for $5.00 each including two 1963 Dodgers signed balls. The best was probably a collection of hartlands some of which are included in this photo.
