Strangest places to buy baseball cards
 
Posted By: <b>Clint</b><p>My dad just got back from a gun show and found this badge there. It makes the second time I've gotten something from a gun show. I picked this cabinet photo up a few years ago. What are some of the other strange places you've found baseball items?<img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1170534429.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1170534457.JPG">

Strangest places to buy baseball cards
 
Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Not me, but I know of a businessman who bought an expensive vintage Babe Ruth postcard<br />in a town market in Estonia. He was worried that it might be a forgery. I told him<br />that it would be the dimmest forger ever who tries to market his Babe Ruth cards in Estonia,<br />a country where there likely isn't a single Babe Ruth baseball card collector. There's a good<br />chance he was the only person in the market who had even heard of Ruth.<br /><br />In case you are wondering why a Babe Ruth card was for sale in Estonia, it was a European <br />made promo for one of Ruth's silent movies and the vendor sold European movie postcards. <br />Estonians are fans of old movies just like everywhere else.
