For this article my focus is on radio related items from chiropractic history.
The first chiropractic relic I discovered has probably been my best find yet — 1931 BJ Palmer voice recordings on five acetate records. Prior to this picking, I didn’t know who this BJ Palmer character was. I just knew unusual spoken word records were a good sell, and these old recordings were probably valuable.
“Very quickly I began to take an interest in Palmer…. I liked this guy.”

“The Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE) is the agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education for accreditation of programs and institutions offering the doctor of chiropractic degree in the United States. Last year, the CCE made drastic changes to their Standards document which removed basic core chiropractic descriptors such as “vertebral subluxation” and “without drugs or surgery.” The profession responded with a reported 4,000 complaints regarding the removal of these terms yet the CCE disregarded the input from the doctors, colleges, associations and students.”

For this Fresh Pick, I’d like to talk about one of my favorite items to discover: Autographs! Autograph collecting was my introduction to the life of a picker.
I never will forget the thrill of receiving my first celebrity autograph through the mail when I was nine… And it is this same thrill I hope to recapture every time I go picking for treasures.
Most times I do not strike gold — but I know it’s out there to be found. And I still get a little thrill every time I go looking.
Most of all, autograph collecting has taught me patience. Just like waiting for the postman to deliver a signed photo of my latest hero, I wait for great chiropractic relics to enter my radar. A good picker is always on the lookout.
