With the year coming to a close, I thought it might be fun to start a thread showing our favorite "finds" of the year. My favorite was a circa 1909 photo of the Pittsburg Pirates. |

On Saturday mornings, my mom goes to the garage sales with her friends. She bought an 1800s etching by the famous British artist William Hogarth for $3 (including frame and glass), because it looked interesting and she thought I might like it. It's not worth a fortune, but a fair chunk of change. She told me if the tag was $5, she wouldn't have bought it. |

As for me personally, it would be the original art for the 1930s Bronco Nagurski wrestling card that was never made. |

"I can count on the fingers of one hand the things I own and the things I want more than what I'm bidding on..." (April 23, 2003)After the aution closed, you couldn't shut me up. I can't say it another time. if you're haven't been around that long, see present column "I have no idea what that means," in which I was accused of trying to sell it. |

Following is the ad Julie will never let die, which was in the "wanted" column, not the "for sell" column. |

Just picked up the 1933 Goudey Paul Richards. What a great looking card! Reminds me of the scene in Field of Dreams where Ray sees his father taking off his catchers gear. |

I am curious as to just how much of an impact ebay has on our acquisitions. Of my list, I got 5 items on ebay and 7 from non-ebay sources. The 3 most expensive items came through ebay; the three cheapest were acquired in person or via mail order. |

One of the more interesting items I bought was a group of boxing books that belonged to the famous old-time trainer Mannie Seamon (trained Joe Louis). On a front page of each book, he wrote his name and, in a column below, page numbers. At first, I had no clue what the page numbers referred to ... Turns out, the pages were where his name appeared. Everytime his name appeared in a book, he vigorously pen underlined it and wrote the page on the front page .... Proud of his accomplishements, it appears |

Of my favorite items of the year, perhaps 83 percent were bought from non-eBay auction houses, the rest from eBay. A few of my favorites were obtained on eBay, but they were non-sport so went unmentioned on this thread. |

To clarify my numbers, I have bid in some of the eBay 'Live' and charity auctions. I counted those as non-eBay. |

Finally got my unknown Kroger card today. I think its my favorite find of this year. The card looks 100% vintage in every way. Its exactly 2" by 3.25", medium stock. If anyone can provide any info on these cards, the hat John Riddle is wearing, or the Kroger Bread Co., Id appreciate it greatly. Thanks Frank |

I think the other forum will end up having a lot of hockey and boxing discussion. So far the "having to sign up" aspect has been a breeze. |
