One tip I have is "it never hurts to ask". The person setting up a rummage sale may not have everything out. Also if you're open to memorabilia as well you may have more luck.

Garage Sale Sucess
I have had limited success at garage sales.
I see lots of 1988 Donruss and similar cards but I did find a stack of raw 1952 Topps on sale for $1 each. In terms of pre-War, I have never seen anything although I live in Austin, TX, which is a "newer" city and didn't have a ton of residents back then. Good luck with your quest. It is exciting when you find something.

Not many residents maybe, but incorporated in 1839, so not a young city...
I think this part of the country (I live near Dallas), except for some SL cards (and T210s), didn't have a lot of distribution back in the early days. Cards were more in areas that had tobacco and candy mfg'ing... Johnston in a Waco card.. Quote:

Just a few cards that came into my friends store. Plus several Allen and Ginters....Connie Mack, Cap Anson and a few Old Judge including a Mays spotted tie.

I've never found an awesome card-related thing at a yard sale/estate sale. I used to get great video game stuff until about 2010.
People know how to research their stuff better now, and a lot of other shoppers are pushy jerks. Show up early, ask for what you're looking for, and assume you probably won't find anything great. Consider it more of a hobby/time killer. If you find something, awesome. I have gotten a few amazing things at estate auctions though.

I went to an estate sale at mid-day (late!) and there was exactly one baseball card there.
Surprisingly, it was a Cycle 460 (Hook Wiltsie)! They said there were some other cards earlier. No idea why the Cycle was left. A bargain at $100.
