Are you "old school?"  Answer the following questions:

Do you remember Lionel trains and when O gauge was it for model railroads?  How about Ernie Banks, Nellie Fox, Harmon Killebrew and Eddie Mathews?

 Do you think Brett Favre played football the right way? Do you remember when players rubbed dirt on their injuries and played through the pain?

Do you want to buy and sell collectibles about these old school things and players?

If you answered yes to those questions, you're old school and this site is for you. Check out the stories on model railroad and sports memorabilia that will be posted here, and our advertisers who sell old school things.  

You can order items online by going to the inventory list link in the left hand column of this site and then emailing gregghof@aol.com or placing an order on the Message Board.

If you deal in such collectibles, please think about advertising with us. Also, if you live in southwest Wisconsin, shop at our three locations in La Crosse and Vernon County. If you don't live in that region of the country, check out what we have available via this site.

Please also go to our "sister site" -- Midwest Diamond Report -- for features and coverage of baseball in the greatest region of America and check out Driftless Images.
