Default Best Deals Ever

We have worked long and hard to build and world class baseball memorabilia collection. Back in1981 we acquired the Highest graded Four Base Hits and Highest Grade just So for $750 total

Whilst many of the key items that we acquired back in the late 1970's are now dream deals, it is our more recent "deals (steals) that make us proud.
Ouur best deals came when we worked with someone who had nothing to do with the hobby and we vigorously pursued them

1) 1930s ST; Louis Stars cabinet with twoHall of Famers- bought on the spot at a LA bowling alley for $100 cash- recently turned down 8500

2) 1912 Boston Garter Color card bought from a school teacher- non collector
after developing an 18 month acquisition plan $1200

3) E 107 common PSA 6 - bought in a local card shop that sold "new cards for $5.00

4) Ultra rare 1923 Negro League World Series program- in a trade for an item we had valued at $1200-

5) 2 "raw PSA Ramlys- traded with a young collector back in the early 90's
We traded three T-206's then worth $100 maximum- card value today close
to $10,000

Whilst the web and publicity have made it far more difficult to buy world class, high grade material at below market prices- we never stop trying.
