Who says you can't find anything at Good Will stores?

WOW! That $6.00 price tag on the baggie is about a week old! Nice stack of 1921 White's Tip Top Baseball and Actresses all in 1 baggie! A Wooooo Hooo!

wtf! is this the same goodwill someone found an 1886 oj?????

Due to their size, some employee didn't think these were cards.

Cool to see a card of Rudy Kneisch.

The bottle of Visine in the background cost more than the cards!

Good deal, Dan! All the years I’ve known you, I’ve always kinda thought that that’s where you buy your wardrobe.

I thought it had to be a hoax when I saw it, but a kid in a Goodwill I think somewhere out west last year found what was apparently Ernie Banks’s authentic 1953 rookie year call-up Cubs jacket in a bin. Had all the correct tagging, and a number 14 sewn into the interior. He paid for that, and other clothing (so as not to make it look suspicious) by the pound and I think escaped for $6 something.

The jacket was later authenticated and headed to sale with one of the major auction houses. Story should be fairly easy to find on Google.

Another “This would never happen to me in a million years!” Tale, no doubt.

Great find. I always flip through the photos and postcards at antique malls for just that reason. I have thus far been disappointed, but maybe someday!

I'd take a wild guess and surmise the actresses might have been on top in the bag. Also that it's mostly ladies that work there and that's what they would do. I'm sure that store is in for a big tip from you, although Goodwill is actually a for-profit enterprise, something not many people are aware of when they donate.

I hit these myself constantly for a possible score like this. Fantastic Find!!

Goodwill is a registered 501(c)(3) Non-Profit. Not hard to look up.

Indeed, but at least a dozen of their CEO's make a pretty decent living profiting from the Non-Profit:

The CEO's of the 12 largest Goodwill organizations received $370,000-$900,000 annually in compensation with the average being $650,000. If the 155 Goodwill organizations paid the CEO this average compensation, then Goodwill spent more than $100 million on CEO compensation in 2022.
