I acquired a number of great cards back in the early 1970s from the great Gar Miller. One of the cards I got from was a 1953 Mickey Mantle.

These days, it's all about the saved searches on ebay for me. The few shows happening around here each year are a great opportunity to inhale the awesome aroma of musty cardboard while chatting up other collectors, but the pricing of star cards is always unnerving, so I usually just walk away with lesser things of interest. So, I check ebay often, and if something pops up that's too great to pass on, I jump on it!

Card shows 20-30 years ago and eBay 10-20 years ago, or I'd not have them today.

From all over really.
From packs, Local card shop, shows, Ebay, flea markets, even a collection from one of moms co-workers which included everything except Mantle because that was her sons favorite. Most came in batches of cards I bought. |

I think the last one I heard of in Eastern Washington (State) was in 2005. I then moved to an even smaller town that doesn't even have an LCS. But we do have a Magic the Gathering shop!
