We were rather excited, not that we had anything of great value to be appraised, but just to be able to attend

The Jeans That Won the West
When a young Levi Strauss arrived in a bustling, noisey San Francisco in 1853, the rush for California gold riches was still in high gear. The son of a Bavarian dry-good peddler, Levi expected that the mining camps would welcome the buttons, scissors, thread and bolts of fabric that he had brought with him, along with yards of canvas sail cloth that he intended to sell for tent-making and as covers for the the Conestroga wagons that dotted every stream and river.

Vintage T-Shirts Prices
Who would have thought those t-shirts we picked up at concerts years ago would be worth so much now? That is if you didn't turn them into dustrags or horrors -- something to wash the car! Today the vintage shirts from rock concerts in the seventies and eighties are hot, make that very hot! So it's time to dig through the closet and see if you still have one or two left. Or perhaps it's time to re-live those days with by buying back those carefree days.

How did you start your collection? Sometimes finding your passion is as easy as looking around and saving the item that has always fascinated you.

Some of the collectors listed below just took the time to save commonplace but usually not collected items or spent the cost of postage when trading items with others of the same mind

Santa Claus Antique/Plastic
Antique Santas are very collectible as evidenced by the prices at antique shows and shops. It pays to do a little research if you are looking for the very old pieces. Some of the materials used to make the antique Santas include bits of cotton batting, paper mache, chenille, twigs and die cut scraps. There are also old glass light bulbs, tin toys and blown glass ornaments.

About Barnum Crackers
Animal crackers seem to a part of everyone's childhood - no matter how many years ago that was. They've also been written about, sung about and probably dreamed about by millions. Barnum's Animals crackers are just as popular with today's children as they were at the first Christmas in 1902.

One of the more interesting things eBay USED to do, was provide what was "hot" during the previous month. Because these lists and information are still relevant for those wanting to know what something sold for, the lists have been condensed to an easier to use format.
