I was gonna post this in the 'big thread' but decided to ask the question: "what item have you picked up that you were NOT looking for and was really pleasantly surprised?
I decided to look at one of the 'suggested' sellers from my ebay and the guy had a bunch of toy premiums from various products - nothing of interest - then on the last page I found this:
Wonder Men of Baseball - copyright 1946 - a Wonder Bread premium
It gives the HOF'ers record, position and team(s).
The HOF'ers include:
Babe Ruth
Ty Cobb
Roger Bresnahan
Grover C. Alexander
Nap Lajoie
Willie Keeler
Walter Johnson
Roger Hornsby
Lou Gehrig
Eddie Collins
John McGraw
Christy Mathewson
Connie Mack
Cy Young
Honus Wagner
Rube Waddell
Tris Speaker
George Sisler
Thanx for viewing - please post any 'surprise' item you picked up.

I guess for me it would be a near 1952 Bowman set that came with 2 Mantles.

Wow Steve - even if I found that - I don't think I could afford it!
Also - note that the ad says - "builds strong bodies 8 ways" - by 1960 they were up to 12 and at the turn of the century went to 13 when they insisted Calcium helped with nerve function - they couldn't substantiate that as a body builder - I guess - so they went back to 12. Also, to confuse things - some packaging says: 8 essential nutrients.
"Molon Labe"
I can remember knowing every stat, fact, etc..about the players up until ~ 1979, after that it's all a blur(or was that the sun stare episode?..I Joke!)
For me it had to be 1938 Horrors of War cards.
