I accepted some ball cards as payment toward legal fees years ago. The client had seen some baseball stuff in my office, he brought cards along on his last office visit and offered some cards toward his fee.
Went to a show and bought a matted, unframed piece that had a photo of Fred Snodgrass and his autograph on a 3x5, bought it for $15 after a bit of haggling, years ago. Sold it to a fellow collector a few days later for $20, he'd been with me when I bought it for $15. Then I bought it back from him about a month later for $25. He'd thought he didn't have his autograph on anything, I thought I did, we were both mistaken at the time. I keep thinking I might get a new matte cut that would accommodate the photo, autograph, and a T206.
