David SmithAll of the following were found in the mid-1990's (before the internet) when I was in college and had the time (but little money) to search for stuff.
These B 18's, which were sewn together to form a pillow top, for $100.
This 1880's pencil box for $23.
A large quilt with about 120 B 18's sewn around the edges and a VERY large American flag tobacco felt in the center for $600. It was big and I didn't have any place to hang it or store it properly, so I sold it in a Slater's Americana Sports Auction for $3,500, which went to pay for college tuition.

Thinking about it more.
At different times, some mini-bats including Hack Wilson, Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle.
A Ball Player's Career by Cap Anson hardback book for $30 dollars.
A stack of 30 or so B 33 sports blankets for $3 dollars a piece.
Two large tobacco premium Leathers of Sitting Bull and Minnehaha.
A 1924 University of Illinois football program dedicating their new stadium. This so happened to be the game against Michigan where Red Grange scored six touchdowns.
A University of Michigan yearbook from the 1930's with Senior Gerald Ford in it. A couple of group photos with him and one with him in his football uniform.
I am sure there are more but I can't think of them now.
