Antique stores ARE tough, but I only go to them when I am really in the mood and I am close by
Even then, I would say it's a 1-50 chance that I will buy anything, and 1-1000 that it will be a real score.
The two in the last year: Minty Titlist-blank Palmer pool cue and a group of four 1930-45 fedoras including a mint 1930's Stetson that was one-of-a-kind (so far). These two items really were minty, but would have been huge finds anyway.
My best recent baseball find was a 1940-41 Ted Williams-signed Burke photo, but it was not in great shape and I paid close to market value - baseball items are tough to find in this area.
