Flea markets, antique stores, Goodwill, etc..

Less usual to find something baseball related these days and the more specialized the collecting category and more knowledgeable you are, the better shot you have.

I would have walked by the earlier shown statue all day at $125

I did take a shot years ago at "Atlantique city" on a group of 5 "Spicy Detective" pulp magazines at $5 each (knew nothing about them at the time). Consigned them to an auction where I netted over $1k for the group. Also bought a Charlies Angels doll display in its original box at a baseball card show (of all places) for $35 - sold on ebay for $2500

Can't recall a similar find on baseball cards or memorabilia.

We had a restaurant where I live that had a huge Charlies Angles display. It closed down in the early 90s. Cheryl Ladd(Stoppelmoor) is from here. I don't ever remember her but I went to school with her younger brother.

Cheryl was definitely easy on the eyes!

Am I the only one that was wondering if the fire extinguisher shown had an ABC rating?

I had to go back and look at the pic again because I did not see a fire extinguisher the first time I looked.

That Ted Williams gamer is the winner of this thread...holy SH$T!!!!!!!!

No huge scores for me...but I was ecstatic to find this 1915 CJ WAJO at an antique show here in the twin cities a few years ago for a fraction of it's worth!

I've since sold it via auction, but I found this Maris gamer in a pile of bats at a local antique show back in 2016 for $20. I didn't even haggle the asking price. There's still great memorabilia stuff out there, keep looking.

LOL - I'd guess yes you are.

I have never found any good cards at flea markets. In the earliest days of ebay and the internet there were still some great rarities and deals. At the time, the prices were the market....I remember buying my first collection, E90-1 Young Boston for 800 dollars raw. And after grading....
