Great Latham Scrapps pickup!
I have a million antique malls around me and I can never find any good deals.
Just beat up 70's cards that they listed Mint prices and musty Life magazines

Funny, I tried an antique mall this afternoon for the first time in years. The only cards I found were a 1988 Topps Yankees team set in VG for $10.

I will have that team set listed on the BST later tonight, so please no flood of PM's about it.

A few years ago I found a Scrapps Latham at a garage sale for $10.

While I was on vacation and passing through West Virginia I stopped at an antique mall and found a bunch of vintage non-sports cards and early tobacco coupons for a buck each.

A large antique mall here in Wisconsin has a nice selection of decent priced T206's. Unfortunately, they are reprints. The mall owner is aware of it, but doesn't seem to care.

I haven't been to an antique mall in a few years, however, before eBay (and even in it's infancy) I found some good things at antique malls.

I found a 1923 Univeristy of Illinois football program (missing six pages including the rosters) for $5 dollars. This program was special because it was commemorating the opening of the new football stadium. What was REALLY special about it though was the game was against Michigan and Red Grange scored six touchdowns that day.

I found a stack of at least 30 B33 blankets for $3 dollars a piece. Variuos colleges and universities were represented as well as various sports (including one basketball). All the blankets still had their fringes attached and had no stitch marks from being sewn into something.

As far as baseball goes, not as much luck except for this pencil box which I paid $23 dollars for.

You have any idea how hard it is to find late 80s stuff in that condition!?!?!? Everything I see is always mint!
