thanks all, I am making a list, any regular dealers at the flea markets?

 

Big Top and Wagon Wheel (I think that's the one in the area) both don't have much for comics. Wagon Wheel had a cool toy dealer and both have good sportscard selections.

 

Emerald City probably has the best collection in a store I've seen....but I haven't been to many.

Flea markets that sell comics

 

Oldsmar

Big Top

USA

Wagon wheel

Gunn highway

Bronco

49er

Redbarn

Webster

 

Wow. The last time I went to the Webster flea market was around 30 years ago. There wasn't much in the way of comics there then.

 

Webster is by far the closest thing to a bazaar that I have ever been to. It is where all of the vendors go to restock their booths. It is huge! Several acres of people selling everything and anything you could imagine...And the fact that it is only open on the first and last weekend of the month and on Mondays makes it seem that much more magical... It can be very overwhelming to try and take in everything. But never a shortage on vintage toys, retro video games, and comics!

It is in my top 3 local flea markets!

Yep, it was big back then but I had better luck finding comics at Howard's flea market in Homosassa. Webster is about what, two hours from Tampa?
