I'm downsizing a lifetime collection. We mostly went on the hunt together, but there were things my husband would get interested in, and things I liked. Now that he's gone, I never know what I'm going to find. During Covid, I looked at the sports cards he collected, mostly ball cards. He has several Ken Griffey rookie cards, and a card showing Michael Jordan batting up for a charity baseball game. Mu husband bought an album from a guy, and it is mainly rookie cards from the late 80s, early 90s. I was never a fan, but my husband loved watching any televised sports, so I absorbed information when the games were on. Going through the cards was a nice walk down memory lane. I gave my son-in-law one of the albums, but he doesn't want the others.
The early Hall of Famer Dick Hoblitzell was born and raised just across the river in WV. We went to a house sale his daughter had and got a cigar box of postcards and photos. Among those we found an early pocket sized rule book. I think it is from 1922, the year many of the baseball rules were changed because of the cheating scandals. It was a fun sale, and my husband was thrilled to talk to Mr. Hoblitzell's daughter. She told him several anecdotes that were priceless 
I have a booth, but I really should contact Heritage.
