When I sold my 1993 Chevy Cavalier in 2008 (after 200,000 miles), I cleaned out the glove box...it literally had 100s of ripped out yellow book pages. Wherever I visited, I would tear out the baseball card store page, make calls, and visit. Found some great stuff.
Still do it sometimes. In Vegas about six months ago and went to a store about 4 miles off the strip going west on Maryland I think that had some decent vintage and was willing to work on price. Picked up a psa2 t206 crawford batting pose, a '33 goudey, a bunch of early bowman for a decent price. He had a huge zeenut collection that he purchased when pawn stars turned it down. Not sure how much longer the store will be there because he was trying to expand and compete with Blowout Cards and Dave and Adam's to become the west coast dealer in wax. Risky.
Going to be in Colorado in a month and looking forward to ripping out a couple pages from my hotel room's yellow pages!
