Great thread. My greatest find came in 1979 when I walked in our collectible's store and the guy tells me he has a box of old postcards and pins for me for $400. That was quite a bit of money for a young sportswriter back then, but I did a quick look and agreed to make the purchase. I got 53 Rose Company postcards, with 51 different. Also had 3 A.C. Dietsche postcards sets - 2 Tigers and 1 Cubs. Several different old Wolverine Tigers postcards, some University of Michigan football postcards. 17 Buster Brown Detroit Tigers pins, including 2 Cobbs and 47 P-3 pins in nice shape. I'd love to make that kind of find today.
