Flea Market finds?

[slidekellyslide]

I've made lots of great finds at flea markets...my first ever T206 cards were from a flea market in the late 70s...found a Victor Sporting Goods 19th century bat...a very early Portland PCL baseball team cabinet photo...Dogs Head cigarettes package...1896 Cameo Pepsin pins in near mint to mint condition. Way too many great finds to remember.

Dan,
I remember those cameo pepsin pins. A team pin in there I do believe. You asked me some prices and I believe sold them to another board member. They were in GREAT SHAPE!

Yep...Rhett got the baseball pins....There was a previously unknown boxing pinback in that Cameo lot I picked up that went to Toby.



Went to the antique show today and found two Cedar Rapids Knot Hole Club pins.

I love flea markets! To me, it feels like a treasure hunt every Sunday morning. I picked up this rookie game program from 1965 between the Jets and the Patriots at this Sunday's flea market. The quarterback for the Jets was Joe Namath, in what might be his first professional game (technically). I did not go there wanting this item, but now I am glad it sits in my football hall of fame collection. Of course, paying 2.00 for it did not hurt.
