Antique Shops

I do fairly well in my area. I have only come across prewar cards in an antique mall once and I bought the case out. I picked up an E98 Harry Davis, 3 E121 commons, 2 T209 Contentneas, 2 T210 Old Mills and a Tharps Ice Cream Ray Schalk all for less than $10 each. I keep thinking the dealer will put more in his case but so far nothing, and it's been about two years now. My mom found a scrapbook last year at a goodwill in Omaha that contained a Scrapps Charles Comiskey. She paid $25 for the whole book. She gave me the page with the Comiskey and sold the book on ebay for about $50. As far as finding memorabilia I do find that quite often. Just this past week I picked up a Victor Sporting Goods No. 97 bat for a whole $5 at a flea market. This morning before I came to work I found a small metal(brass?) baseball figure for $2, and I bought a vintage unopened can of Dixie Brand Pinetar that will look great in one of my displays in my baseball room.
