Anyone ever use the newspaper?

I've heard of people placing ads like this, though their ads were more general-- ala sports cards or baseball cards and memorabilia. You don't want to miss the chance to get a 1957 Topps football set for $5 because you only asked for for Gypsy Queens.

One thing about an elderly generation from a local area is that they could have old pennants, programs and such from the local college and pro football games-- and that type of stuff can be valuable. I live in Seattle and probably every other local old person has something related to a U of Washington football game-- and some of it must have some worth.

I grew up in a college town, and I'm sure there were game uniforms, letter sweaters, banners, team photos, etc in peoples' basements.
