Going to put up couple scans, but Saturday I went out looking for other stuff than just the regular cheap sports items, came across an old copy of Treasure Island. Theres no date on the book but definitely from the early 1900s, old woman had it on her table to the side at a flea market, grabbed it for 2$. Theres homework notes on it from Feb 20th, 1930 in pencil on the inside cover. Any book experts? I cant even find a copy online anywhere that resembles the cover of this one.

EDIT: heres pics, if anyone knows anything or needs more info let me know! I have no idea what I have here lol

Here is a great site for books. It also has an online instant book appraiser where you enter the basic information and it can give you an approx low/high value for most books

Updated original post with:

Anything 80's or earlier WWF wrestling. Was told by someone its always worth grabbing this stuff if you see it cheap. Can be turned around quickly for a profit :)

My aunt gave me a crate of books recently. Among them was a first edition of Forrest Gump. The instant appraiser gave a pretty wide range, though. Low of $20; High of almost $700.
