Antique stores ARE tough, but I only go to them when I am really in the mood and I am close by Even then, I would say it's a 1-50 chance that I will buy anything, and 1-1000 that it will be a real score.

The two in the last year: Minty Titlist-blank Palmer pool cue and a group of four 1930-45 fedoras including a mint 1930's Stetson that was one-of-a-kind (so far). These two items really were minty, but would have been huge finds anyway.

My best recent baseball find was a 1940-41 Ted Williams-signed Burke photo, but it was not in great shape and I paid close to market value - baseball items are tough to find in this area.

My bad. For some reason, when I think 'Rob' or 'Nate' I think millions of baseball bats. I was typing too fast

Thanks - it's one of the oddest team cabinets I've seen.

Texas is not really a hotbed of vintage cards but there is some pretty good sports memorabilia to be found. However, I don't collect memorabilia . Most of my stuff comes from ebay, other auctions and our BST.

I once found 4 Forbes Field seats in a dump. Well I didn't actually "find" them. The guy who owned the construction company told us where the dump was (it's still there) and I went and picked out 4. I still have them. I was still in high school, 1992. From what I recall, there were 100's (if not 1000's) of them....

There are old cues I used to own on this page, but I haven't updated it in ~10 years and all have been replaced. I am in the process of re-vamping it, but I'm always saying that:
