<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 95894, member: 88&quot;]I need to preface this by saying my item was actually found along side the curb where the children were dumping their parents stuff. Also, most everyone here will probably not be impressed with the actual item itself. </p><p><br /></p><p>One of the items on the pile was 2 c.1940s University of South Carolina yearbooks in a plastic bag. I put them in the car without even taking them out of the bag because at the time I had a local booth here in Columbia &amp; I knew I could sell them there with no effort whatsoever. When I got back home &amp; started going through everything I was thrilled to find an almost mint copy of a 1959 Big Thursday football program in between the 2 yearbooks. </p><p><br /></p><p>This game pitted South Carolina against Clemson &amp; was played every year at South Carolina&#039;s Williams Brice Stadium during the state fair (the stadium &amp; the fairgrounds are across the street from one another). The day of the game was darn near a state holiday.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a closed listing for the same program. </p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-USC-Gamecocks-vs-Clemson-Tigers-BIG-THURSDAY-Program-FINAL-YEAR-/401027952210?hash=item5d5f20ee52:g:MCQAAOSwgQ9Vo9uz" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-USC-Gamecocks-vs-Clemson-Tigers-BIG-THURSDAY-Program-FINAL-YEAR-/401027952210?hash=item5d5f20ee52:g:MCQAAOSwgQ9Vo9uz" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1959-USC-Gamecocks-vs-Clemson-Tigers-BIG-THURSDAY-Program-FINAL-YEAR-/401027952210?hash=item5d5f20ee52:g:MCQAAOSwgQ9Vo9uz</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This was the last year it was played that way because Clemson decide they wanted in on some of the revenue &amp; starting in 1960 they began alternating stadiums. Also the game was moved to Saturday. Because 1959 was the last of those &quot;special games&quot; this program is coveted by many USC / Clemson fans.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway I ended up selling the program for around $250.00 to a local fan a few days later. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Not my biggest money maker, but definitely the most profitable free thing I have ever found along the way.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Peggy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
