Fantastic pick ups Dan, Congrats!

I spent the weekend in Lake George, NY, attending the annual "World's Largest Garage Sale" event. The nearby town of Warrensburg fills up with hundreds of vendors, in what turns out to be a large flea market. There is a lot of crap, but a fair amount of antiques and vintage too. If nothing else it makes for a nice Fall weekend in upstate NY (we rented a cabin with friends).

The amount of vintage sports was sparse, but I did pick up these 1920s Spalding smooth-face catcher shin guards. Considerable wear, but well worth the $15.
