Nice, I love the old car parts. My last good one was a NOS GM part I got at an estate sale. "What is it"? he said. "Oh it looks like an old car part/trim part but really don't know" I said. Paid $2 and unloaded it for $195 2 days later. BTW it was a NOS 1963 Cadillac headlight boomerang trim.If anyone cares, I'm with diggummup.
I get a bigger thrill out of a real auction score. Sure, digging is cool and all, but someone lost or discarded most of those items. It takes some skill to score at a garage sale, IMO. At the same time, I believe that there is quite a bit of skill in MD work too. Not everyone can find and dig where the Confederates camped in an area.
I haven't seen any real banner finds on the GS forum, but I haven't been on here as long as others. Sometimes though, when reading some of the other MD posts, people will start yelling "Banner!!!", and I am thinking to myself, I picked an old Pontiac carb at an auction yesterday for $1 that is worth for more than what some people are saying is a banner find, LOL.
