I spent exactly $80. The highest priced thing was the MOTU horse. It was $15, I overpaid.
I’ve yet to look up the 83 Transformers. They are little pull back vehicles. They were $8 each.

81 program


Old napkins (already sold)


Magazines














Super Balls and mables






80’s Style Auto jacket ($5)




And my (possibly) major homerun:

1982 Holmes/Cooney program with a surprise inside, a ticket stub. Nose bleed tickets back then were $300

Did it feel weird walking around that house? Premonition of a certain future estate sale?

Hawk's Nest as in the resturant off of Sherwood? I used to work in the building right across the street from there. We had half the 2nd floor and the 3rd and half the 4th.. I remember Home Depot used to have a call center in there and the characters that used to work for them..

Anyway, but before moving buildings we used to go there once a week.

I kind of dig the jacket. I understand the collectible value or appeal of all things posted except the super balls/marbles lot. Is there really a secondary market for superballs? I guess the marbles could be antique or something. Do old marbles have manufacturer markings, or do you check to see if actually made of real marble to determine if antique?

I still have those transformers. They fold in half if memory serves me right.

Did you think the ornaments were overpriced and/or worth it?

1982 Holmes/Cooney

As a kid, it seemed like every time I saw Gerry Cooney, he was bleeding and on his way to the mat. In fact he was the butt of a few jokes back then about being a punching bag.

But I looked up his record and he was 28-3 as a pro.

Wow! The Hawk's Nest! I have many very blurry memories from there. Luckily I lived in walking distance during those times.
