Incredible pickups posted so far! I couldn't choose one, but my three favorite items are all baseballs. I found them all between September and November of this past year. The smaller figure eight style baseball I found at the Brimfield antique show just as the dealer set it on his table. It had been found in a barn in Pennsylvania a few weeks prior. The lemon peel style baseball (similar size to the small figure eight) came out of the Newburyport MA area years ago. I acquired it in a trade with a friend (he got a rare glove and I got a crescent pad glove plus the ball, plus cash. We were both very happy with the trade). I found the third baseball in a central MA antique shop about two months ago. It is figure eight style, full size and shows old stitching repairs.
