Default Anyone else drift into memorabilia?

image.jpgI find myself drifting from my card quests from time to time to pick up great, vintage memorabilia - old newspapers, weekly magazines, ads, etc with great cover art AND vintage stories (and advertisements - often very cringy by today’s standards!)

There are a few dealers who specialize in this but I wonder if anyone has had luck finding items like this more directly… antique shops, flea markets (do these still exist??), etc.

Even when I buy from dealers, the prices are compatibly quite affordable vs. cards - clearly the demand for cards far outweighs the paper items.

Live to hear your experiences.

And here is a recent pick up I had at a local show - nothing like a young Ted alongside a pin up girl… and that back page ad? Epic!
