When out perusing these places do you like everything laid out in order and neat? Or do you like the thrill of finding something of value buried in the bottom of a box or pile. I've had the most luck finding collectibles of value when I had to "work" for the treasure and do some digging through piles of stuff. Most card shops are so organized that you get the impression that not much of unknown value items have slipped past the owners eyes. Whereas a shop/flea market with stuff strewn about just may be hiding a gem.

Agree 1000%. The last time I visited a yard sale that was advertising cards, I ended up in the guy's living room digging through big tubs that he didn't feel like dragging outside. Found some nice stuff in there that he just wanted to get rid of.
