Nate - I must be the 'third Scott'  (or perhaps lower?)
But I do grab a gem every now and then. Most of the 'average' gems come from ebay (see below), but the huge finds are generally in antique stores - on average one a year. Last year was particularly good - I made two really great finds (huge by my standards) but no baseball.
I used to get my best stuff from auction houses, but you pay market for most of those. |
For me antiques stores are tough...although you never know....you just have to turn over every rock...I did get that basketball arcade game I posted recently at a mall...BTW what were the two really great finds you made last year?
