You never know what you might stumble across at a yard sale or an off the grid auction. 90% of my collection has come from mom and pop types, usually with the woman urging her husband to realize some value from his collection after holding onto it for many years. Also, when people pass away the children often receive the collection, and many times they are not sports fans and are looking to sell as quickly as possible. I've found anything from T206, Cracker Jack, 1910 Orange Borders, etc... from situtions exactly like this. Maybe you'll get lucky and find a Wagner at the bottom of the box (unlikely).
