Blog-Used Items: 1800s to 1919
I collected old football-related items in the past but now buy only for use in stories. Sometimes, I buy cheap and sell cheap. Other times I buy cheap and sell high because my research identified the object, its story, and its value. If interested, check out the items below and on the other pages.
All sales occur on eBay, but paid subscribers can contact me about these and other items.
