Flea markets, antique stores, Goodwill, etc..

No sports stuff that good, but loads of smaller finds.

Closest I came was a Fred Harvey restaurant plate I got from a thrift store for 25 cents that brought 600+ on ebay.

The stamp guy I go to found a Mucha postcard in a dollar box at a show and got either 500 or 1000. It eventually ended up in a European auction where it brought 25K - It was previously unknown.

On the cheap at a flea market. The lot in luded Shag Shaunessy before he picked up in popularity due to his vampiric haircut.

I love threads like these....I found a pretty good amount of stuff at flea markets and yard sales. Some of my better flea market finds include: Joe Jackson Zinn Beck bat for $3 (The guy had it in the wheels of his trailer to keep it from rolling away). 1800s Reach ring bat, Jim Gilliam GU bat, Oakland Larks (West Coast Negro League) game worn hat, Kent Hrbek GU bat for a $1. They are probably the best items Ive picked up over time. I've had a lot of luck and find more junk than baseball goodies but that's why I go every weekend.
