I think I need to hang out where you are hanging. Somewhere in the midwest?
In the Rockford, Illinois area. I've been able to come up with a lot of good comic finds over the last few years by going to garage sales, estate sales, flea markets, auctions and antique malls. For me, the key is constantly being on the lookout for comics via newspaper classified ads, newspaper websites, auction websites and so on.
Maybe I should change my mind and stay in this area.
Naaaaah.....ain't gonna happen! I'd be crazy to stay here!
