I have been doing a lot of digging on the internet for things that I own and have found some good sites. I am making some money at it, but the whole thing is to research before you sell. Some things I can't sell worth shit, even if I know what they are worth. So it is kind of hit miss on some stuff. I am at the computer several hours a day doing this stuff. So maybe I could help. That is a good idea Blackbart. I have an old book that is a Biography of Lincoln and the guy was writing it when he got shot, so the last chapter is about his assasination. I am stuck on finding more about it on line. It gives you some info but not much. I should contact a university or museum. I have had values of $10 to $2,000 dollars, hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. I have newspapers back to 1681, totally authentic and nobody will pay over $50, that's bs, I paid that much 30 years ago. Some real cool shit. Especially the George Washington Newspapers, a lot of history in them, 1792 & 1794. They made real paper back then. Thanks for the tip. Awards

It might be worth a try Awards
