So when you see a "too good to be true" opportunity it almost always turns out to be both "good" and "true". Antique dealers are really good sources for vintage stuff since most of them don't know what they have on their hands either.
Stuff like this is what collecting here is like: https://baseballcardsinjapan.blogspo...40s-menko.html |
