Dave WilliamsA guy I worked part time 17 years ago, spent the 1970's putting ads in Central and Northern Indiana newspapers that he bought collections of sports cards and memorabilia.
He told me he went all over, and acquired quite a collection for not a whole lot of money.
He had a sweet 65 Namath he showed me once.
He also sold a 33 Goudey set he picked up to get a downpayment on his house.
He also ran an old style mail auction in the 1970's, one of the people on his mailing list was James Beckett. He had no idea who he was at the time.
