and a girl brought in a trunk full of KISs stuff. Ticket Stubbs, Utographs, etc. paid $300 and made several thousand.

I have a leather bound store catalog I found in a barn. 1902 and in great shape. One in not quite as nice shape was listed on EBay for $999. And sold for best offer. Have to list it this winter when I find the time.

Best retirement job one can have.
