Dear
Collector,
The one cool thing about running a collectibles shop is you never know how the day is
going to go. Sure, it can be a little nerve wracking but generally, it keeps us optimistic. May be this will
be the day, the big collection arrives and we get to retire. LOL. So far that has not happened. Don't get me wrong.
We do see our share of fun stuff. This past week, we made an offer on a Babe Ruth Signed Photo (we didn't get it).
We also made an offer on $120.00 in silver coin (that's $1320.00) which we did purchase. We chalk up successful purchases
as little victories. That customer came to us, out of all the other shops out there, and decided that our offer was
the best. Personally, It can be quite gratifying making a deal with a customer. It is probably my favorite part
of this job. Last week was a fun week. We picked up some great stuff.  This week's Offer: We are stocked up on One Ounce Silver Coins. Mike has
told me that if you mention this newsletter, you can purchase ONE American
Silver Eagle Coin for $22.00, a savings of $3.00. We are also stocked up on jersey and autograph cards. We got
a great deal on them. Cards that book for $8.00 - $20.00, we are offering for $2.00 - $8.00 each. Come by and
check them out. New Becketts this week: Baseball and Hockey Happy
Collecting, Mike, Peter and Dodger Kenmore Collectibles

| 2010 TOPPS TRIBUTE BASEBALL
| 
Six Packs, five cards per pack. $50.00 Pack, $295.00 Box.
Each
box contains three relic cards and three signature cards, all numbered 99 or less.
One lucky person will find a
five panel card with nine signatures of the 1927 Yankees Starting Line-Up.
Currently Stephen Strasburg Redemption
cards are selling between $500.00 - $600.00 on eBay. Unlike the Allen & Ginter product, collectors are readily
finding these cards.
We opened a pack hoping to find perhaps a Jason Heyward, Jackie Robinson or Albert Pujols
Signature card. Here's what we got.... We didn't get what we were hoping for but the cards are still gorgeous cards.
