Please know I have posted the complete story on my site SportAntiques.com about my trip to the Portland Expo antiques show in Portland Oregon July 9th-11th 2010. See link above. Although the story takes in all areas of antiques not just sports...you'll see what I saw as the hunt was on...I made a total of four finds over the whole trip, at antiques stores along the way and at the show.

The story is a three part series of my Sports Antique of the Week feature, and will be posted over three weeks on the following dates:

Sept. 25th Part 1
Oct 2nd Part 2
Oct 9th Part 3

The story encompasses my whole experience of the trip....going to, during, and coming back from the show. Along with the written account I posted 280 photos of the show alone...plus a ton more of stuff I saw along the way.

I took a breather from the National this year, so this is probably my biggie story of the year....and I did enjoy writing it. Hope you enjoy! -Carlton

Wow nice find! I have to make it up there. It's one of the last great antique shows out here on the west coast.

Please know Part 2 is posted, link above. With some variation Part 2 is mostly the same story I started this thread with, that is, the bagging of "The Yale Fence" print...plus a little overview of the the whole show at the begining. Part 3 next week will be uncharted with a bang up ending.

Leon, Thanks for the kind words, and letting me post.

Rickyy, thanks...yeah it's a pretty good show.

Great story and great finds. That dog ear for $35 was unbelievable.
