Same goes for Zeenut cards, T205s, Goudeys, Indian Gum cards, vintage non-sports cards, Salada/Junket coins, Armour coins, Rold Gold pins, 1970 Topps football cards, old ticket stubs, game used bats, and just about any other oddball vintage baseball / football item that catches my eye.

I like the rescues....the weird, one-off baseball collectible that you find stuck in a book, or in a junk drawer at a yard sale. I'm not actively shopping eBay to finish off any set. I just like the randomness of finding some old baseball or football thing tucked away somewhere.
I am right there with ya, Jim!
