Default ". . . buying T206s at antique stores for 35 cents apiece." What's YOUR cool story?

I was reading Keith Olbermann's recounting of when he was 11 he would go to antique stores with his mom and, boom, there they were. Before anyone cared about backs or factories.

Not to sound like Nell walking out of the woods for the first time, but who's got a cool story like his to share? Getting them for low, low prices is certainly part of it, but it wasn't just because it was a long time ago, but also because very few folks seemed to *really* pursue the set like now. And differentiating twixt backs and locations, would be very cool to know about those collectors or investors on the leading edge of, "Wait . . . why do I have 83 Piedmonts and five Carolina Brights?" and decided to investigate.

I've read plenty on other sites, but most of that is from an investigative pov. Wondering about any personal experiences!
