I wasn't going to go to Strongsville this weekend. Now it looks like I might have to in order to see it live

I wonder how many others in that Wisconsin town are going through their barns, garages, or attics looking for posters or cards. Great find.

There have been a few over the years that I have seen or heard of. A board member had one or possibly even two. I think Mastro has had one and possibly Lew Lipset.

With the weather getting warmer and some of the recent finds that have been uncovered, I wonder just how many people will be visiting elderly relatives to dig through their attics and basements?

It seems that when these sort of finds occur, there is usually a spurt of them.

I can't wait to see what else comes into the hobby in the coming months!

I am also in WI. I read that the owner wishes to remain anonymous, so we may never find out where it was found. Makes me wish I had a barn. :)
