Many cards in my collection came from my nephew who, as he got older, became totally disinterested in them and bequeathed them to me. It was his mother, my wife's sister, who found the majority of his cards at early-morning yard sales (if you weren't first on scene, the good stuff like cards were long gone) and estate sales. This was back in the 1980s/90s. I am told that, as posters above state, the pickings are slim to none now. Everyone nowadays knows these cards are quite valuable. Same with flea markets and antique malls. The days of getting these cards on the cheap like this would definitely appear to be gone forever. Every so often you hear of some pick up like Bender above, but something like that now is exceptionally rare. The only things I see on my occasional flea market and antique mall forays is junk wax and way over priced beaters.
