Did everybody make it?

Brett, did you and your Pops pick up many baseball items there?. A buddy of mine who lirks here had pretty good luck also.

Back in the early to mid 1990's we had great luck there - bats and gloves galore. As time has gone on things have dried up. Since I've moved to IL I haven't been able to go back so I can't speak for the past 4 years. My dad finds a couple things there but not like the good old days. It's hard because you're competing against the guys from Hunt's auction, Bob McCann and other big dealers who have access to some of the fields way before the general public can get in there.

I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!! It really turns it into a stressful situation when you have dealers holding things under the table for the big boys when collectors would probably pay as well.

I'm guessing you can't use imageshack on this site???

I always wondered about that as well. Collectors would pay more for an item because they aren't going to try and and resell it right way. And if one of the big boys wants it, you know it's gotta be something so why not try and get more from a collector - I'm just an elementary school teacher but that seems like simple economics to me.

Okay. Now someone is going to have to teach me how to resize an image for this forum.
