Hi Everyone! Sorry that I have not posted in awhile, but I've been really busy. A renovation to my basement made it neccessary to pack up all our merchandise and put it in storage. We have done two shows- one in Reading Pa and a Toy Show in St. Charles IL. The next thing on my agenda is shoulder surgery next week. Get this, this 55 year old idiot still thinks he can play ball. So my apologies and hopefully I'll get back on track now. By the way, I am also re-stocking our Online Store. I'm starting with the Bobbing Heads and will work my way through the other categories over the next few weeks. also, please check out our latest auction that opens for bidding on Thursday November 1 and will close Friday December 7th. It's a good one!

ADVERTISEMENTS

Have you ever gone through old issues of Sports magazines and noticed the ads for some of the memorabilia? It really is incredible that some of the collectible treasures of today were sold so cheaply back in the 50's/60's.

Take a look at this great ad for Fred Kail statues. It was sent to me by my close friend Mike Hattley of Touchdown Treasures. Check out his auction site at: http://touchdowntreasuresauction.com/CATALOG.ASPX .

Here's an ad out of a 60's sport magazine. Look at the Mantle Hartland lamp and the Hartlands for sale. Oh- to go back in time just for an hour. This ad was sent to us by Hartland expert Fred McKie.

Lastly, this hockey ad was from a 1971 issue of Hockey Illustrated. It was sent to us by long-time friend Joe Marasco.
