What are some of your finds in places other than those where you would expect to find sports memorabilia ?
I found these cards in a local bookshop. The owner mainly sells old books, magazines and newspapers, but had a random folder of old cigarette cards. I found the Jackson, and about 2 years later in the same shop, the Fitzsimmons.
There are only a handful of Jacksons around and I have only ever seen one other Fitzsimmons in around 15 years.
An auction house isn't usually an odd place to find sports memorabilia, but finding 19th century baseball cards in Australia is pretty rare. I picked these up a few months back - they have since been graded PSA 2, 1 and 2.5.
