LATEST STORIES FROM ABC15's JAVIER SOTO:
"It's more like treasure hunting. I get up in the morning. I have no idea what I'm gonna find," said Yankowski."I had one guy, had a t-shirt on. I was at a garage sale. He said, 'you got this t-shirt?' I said, 'I don't really know.' He went into the house, took the t-shirt off, comes out, hands it to me and he goes 'It's yours!' and I go 'How much?' 'It's free," said Yankowski.
Since then, the Arizona transplant has spent nearly a decade scouring valley thrift stores and garage sales searching for D-backs treasures. "Everything you see in here has either come from Goodwill, a garage sale, or a moving sale. There's nothing I buy on eBay. Nothing. A lot of it is donation," said Yankowski,"Whenever I go into a store or go into a garage sale, first thing I ask, 'Do you have anything Arizona Diamondbacks?'""This section is the inaugural season with the original colors. This particular item is the schedule. The first year of them playing," said Yankowski.
With the team's current postseason run, he's now hoping to add some more championship items, even if he doesn't have the space. "I'm hoping that with this game today, they're gonna win and they go on to the World Series. And then I'm going to have to figure out a way of moving everything around," added Yankowski,"I'd have to go into the house, but I'm not allowed to bring this stuff in."
