So I started casually collecting classic (some vintage) racquets about a year ago. A few of the racquets I've got off the auction site; some from private collectors; some from the local charity shops. Pickings at the local thrift stores are pretty slim (Johanneburg/ South Africa) and are nothing like what I'm sure can be got in the USA.
Anyhow here's the list ... Some probably don't count as icon/classics agreed.
