Who says....Antique shops don't have Vintage cards ?

I have found prewar cards in Omaha and Lincoln within the last 3-4 years. Notably in Omaha at the Brass Armadillo I found an E98 Davis, a couple of T210,a T209 Contentnea, and a few E220s all for less than $10 each. I bought them all. In Lincoln just last year at the Haymarket Antique mall there were a bunch of T206 and Obaks but they were all $40+ for common ones in P-VG conditions. I also found a 1922 Eastern Exhibit Hornsby Postcard in Omaha. I don't get up to look in Omaha as much as I should, but there is one dealer at the Armadillo that has some unbelievable baseball memorabilia from uniforms, gloves, bats and photos dating back to the 1880s. All too pricey, but neat to see nonetheless. I had a phone conversation with the dealer recently and he has a lot more - he's taking it all to ebay sometime next year.
