As most of you know, the Phillies is where my collection is at it's best. In the past few years I have made some really interesting finds...

About a year ago on ebay I bought a child's composistion book featuring the Phillies battery of Alexander and Dooin. It dates from around 1915-16. Paid what I thought was a fair price. Saw another sell for five times the price in nearly the same condition in an auction 2 months later.

A few years ago, I found three printers blocks of Phillies players...inked them up and printed three nice newspaper quality photos of Callison, Wine, and Taylor. Paid $5 each for them.

Years ago at a clearance sale in downtown Los Angeles at the Sears building, I saw an old Van Huesen sign featuring Phillies players. I do own a few of the 8x10 promos given out in Phila. I bought the poster which featured 3 Phillies for $5.

Bought a Recruit tobacco pack for $1 at a local swap meet when I was 13 years old. They had a piedmont pack too but I only had the $1 and the Recruit pack had the cool picture of the Army guy on it. Both were opened and empty.
