This is where we find those rarely sought after Items.
I had come across one that is so Rare.
If any one can tell me about this one it should help me out a lot.
On the front it looks like this:

On the Back it reads CTW 730 R2 H25
and it reads "this paper is manufactured by Kodak"
I took it to some friends of mine who owns a photo shop and they claim that it is real but had no clues to the CTW writing.

Also I was extreamly lucky That I found this as well.

I know that this is a teacher's guide back in the 70's. If any one can help me on the frist one it would help me out alot.

Cool. I'd keep those in as good of shape as possible. They could be really valuable.

I love grage sales, I get my best stuff from there.

Some of my faves have been the book that Spinny wrote and illistrated himself "How to be a Grouch; by Oscar the Grouch" its very awsome, I always wanted to get that autographed.

oh man, 1/2 my collection is from thrift stores or grage sales. Stuffed animals galore (only im really trying to cut back on them, ran out of room :() My aunt got me a Apple Think poster with Jim and kermit on it, that was pretty cool :cool:

I found two cassette tapes at a thrift store, one was from 1971, and the other was from 1978.

My church used to have a lot of old Sesame Street tapes in the Nursery. They had "C is for Cookie", I use to listen to that.

Yes, you can find lots of goodies at garage sales:)
My mum and uncle do the GS rounds on the weekend and keep their eyes peeled for muppet-related this for me, I usually find some good videos, books
or records. I've found fairy good rarities for a b-a-r-g-a-i-n!
