I have also bought many cool items through ephemera and historical dealers. Unfortunately, bargains are rare, but my favorite part about buying in non traditional spaces is getting a chance to own items that are fresh to the hobby.
To answer the OP (I owe you an email Gary!), I feel that some of it shows up in the non traditional spaces but there are many of us who look for things there. It does help not to have to compete at large hobby auctions for these items though.
