Yes, You Can Sell Souvenirs: Stop Calling It Junk! It’s Vintage Gold

In this, the 52nd (!) episode of Pick for Profit, we're marking one full year online. And this episode is all about the stuff we once walked around at estate or garage sales: vintage souvenirs. Yes, these items are in fact sellable. We take a tour here through buying and selling vintage souvenirs, travel memorabilia, and antique ephemera. We highlight items we've been surprised can sell, everything from classic souvenir spoons and thimbles to Route 66 collectibles, national park keepsakes, and the regional items from places like Branson and Lake of the Ozarks. Learn what makes place-based items valuable, including theme park memorabilia, concert programs, sports collectibles, and landmark souvenirs tied to destinations like the Grand Canyon and Mammoth Cave. We also cover overlooked categories like cranberry glass, vintage travel posters, railroad memorabilia, and even dark tourism collectibles. We also want to take a moment to thank our listeners. This has been such a fun year...and we can't wait to see what the next year will bring!
