Went to the local Thrift shop looking for an antique Radio which they had and i bought 1939 Atwood old round face and weights a ton but will restore it as that is my hobby since i retired from owning and operating a Salvage Business for 40 years.
So i get to talking to the owner and he says i hear thru a guy at the post office u collect Baseball Cards and stuff.
I said yes and he says would u be interested in some stuff i just found in a old foot locker which was dropped off to his store.
He has 3 thrift stores and is in the process of doing another one.
So down to the back and look for this footlocker and a thousand things on top of it and surrounding it.
But i must say the wait was worth while.
On the top of the insert in the locker for small items sits this yellow old 8x10 envelope and appond open discover these beauties and all now in hand and mine.
8x10 Kirby Puckett signed auto and an article on the reverse of the Minn Twins with Chile Davis then a Twin.
8x10 Juan Marical signed auto colored as well.
8x10 Lee Smith signed Sports Illustraed auto colored as well
Framed 6x6 Bobby Doerr/Denny Galehouse/Jimmy Foxx signed B/White and Jimmy has crossed the X;s as always
Black and Yellow HOF Plaque signed by Rube Marguard
6x6 Kodak signed P Phillies and has a bottom crease but he sig is perfect Richie ashburn.
And the next 2 are the prize of the whole find.
Signed satchel Paige Cards card and a 53 Bowman nr Mt just cornering and original card and his pre stroke and pre acident auto Roy Campanella.
Santa came early for the Old Bear this year and i have to get him some parts for his trk for all of this and that guys is not a problem to a guy who has worked on and stripped more cars trucks or anything else in my life.
Just another nice early Xmas gift.
Had to share as this has made my Xmas complete.
