What's in your grandmother's attic?

[Matthew H]

OT- In my grandmothers closets are just about every toy made in the eighties, still sealed. This thread reminded me of moping around her house as a kid, not able to play with anything.

When I was a kid, my mom helped the neighbor clean out a house from a recently deceased relative.

In the attic were about 30 61 Fleer baseball greats.

Another kid and me split them by choosing one by one, I took Frank Chance with the first pick, he took Ted Williams.

I still have the cards.

Not baseball. Found this in my Mom's attic. I think this was my brothers set.

In August, my grandmother (who was 90+) passed away in Spokane, WA. While going through the house we found an old cigar box that had an interesting find in it. Inside the box was my Grandfather’s high school letter and on that letter where three sets of crisscrossed baseball bats (made of felt) with the year that he letter in baseball on it. Also in the box was a few 1/2 inch pens that he was awarded for winning some city championships as well as a pitching contest pin (ironically we also found a picture of him after he had won the contest). Not a lot of value really but some really cool pieces that will look great when I frame them for my son.
