andy beckeryou can't win if you don't play. flea markets, garage sales, and the like are generally a waste. but one find, will keep you going for years.
i had a nice experience with a flea market not long ago. no t cards, but plenty of cheap low grade goudey, diamond stars, and national chicle football. the seller would have a different box every week for a summer. he was never willing to go for "how much for the box"...i think that was beyond him. but he would sell individual cards pretty cheap.
as to garage sales, i look in the local papers and scout out advertised sports cards or memorabilia. i try to make those. 1/10 maybe 1/20 will have something worthwhile. the other 90% will ask how much are these 1990 fleer cards worth??
