Hey guys! I'm new here and wanted to see if anyone's found any interesting memorabilia at thrift stores lately?
I recently found a Darren Sproles Practice Worn Jersey ($3), a New Orleans Zephyrs Game Worn autographed jersey from New Orleans Hornets night ($7), and a Houston Astros Game Worn possibly Spring Training jersey ($4).
I have photos but the files are too large to post on here. If you'd like to see them, let me know!

Some of my best finds have been from the Seattle Goodwill Outlet store. Workers think that because an article of clothing is "beat up" it is not worth putting out in their store.

I have found several Seahawks game worn jerseys including a hammered Brian Bosworth uniform including jersey, pants, gloves, armbands and other items of his all in his Seahawks laundry bag. I have also found lots of local teams like Sonics, Mariners and some Seattle Thunderbirds gamers. You have to be persistent in going and not care about digging in bins.

Guys, these finds are fantastic.
To catch up one year later, have y'all found anything good lately?
About 2 weeks ago while in Louisiana, I found a local thrift store had a lot of
LSU player worn clothing but the crown jewel amongst all the clothes was finding Odell Beckham Jr's Chick Fil A Bowl Nike LSU Track Jacket from the 2012 game. It has a 3 written inside as well as a stitched 3 on the back along with the Chick Fil A bowl patch above it. Probably the best thing I've found. Wish I could post it but the I can't again.
Also found a game worn Atlanta Falcons jersey from 1984 on the $2.99 shirt rack.

There are lots of free programs out there that make resizing an image incredibly easy. You can simply make a duplicate image at a smaller resolution and upload it to the site within 2 minutes. Just google Windows Image Resizer and if you are running Mac OS then google that one.

Rodney Leislie. Former DT from UCLA from 00-04, drafted 5th round in 04 and bounced around from the Saints then Giants then Canada then back to the NFL for Arizona and finally signed back with the saints in 09 where he stayed and won a Super Bowl then his career was complete. what a way to finish a career. Slight chance I know a guy who may want it for that reason. I'll be in touch.

I found these cool police and fire games hockey jerseys from 2009, i doubt players wore them cause they have the year on back but they are prob pretty rare and gave awesome graphics/design.
