I managed to pick up some of both from a local last week. I was somewhat familiar with baseball cards, especially the ca 1909 T206 cards, before visiting with this seller, so I knew when I saw them that they were special. I bought seven of them at a very decent price, and found upon closer inspection that in their condition I had made a good purchase. Most should grade Fine or better. That’s another thing. Unless a card is graded and encased in one of those nifty plastic holders, it won’t bring much on the open market. So, that’s my next step. Along with the baseball cards I bought some very nice near-mint silver certificates, some with stars, some in the 1934 issue (one $5). You just never know what you’ll be offered when you let people know you buy all kinds of collectibles. I keep an ad in the local paper, and it really pays off. Read about how to word your ads, and discover many other ways to hunt treasure, in my book, How to Hunt Treasure.
