- Could be. There are a couple of factors to consider.
-
- -Dealers use price guides because they can't be familiar with every
- type of collectible or antique that comes along. You *might* find
- that other calendars are priced similarly because of this. Or you
- might get lucky and find a dealer who doesn't know what s/he has,
- but I'm dubious.
-
- -What's your time worth to you? As I pointed out a couple of days ago,
- antique stores/collectives are not generally set up to make looking
- for a specific item easy. I suppose you could get the Yellow Pages
- and start calling around. You could try flea markets. The tradeoff
- again is legwork.
-
- At any rate, good luck and have fun.
