Tiki Statistics - Collecting Tiki

So every year it is real safe to say I hit at least 100-150 unique garage/estate sales, no shit. This isn't even talking about my visits to thrift stores, flea markets or antique malls. If I find 3-4 high quality, unique mugs a year, that is a good year. I collect everything remotely Polynesian Pop related, albums, coco joes, Hawaiianna, tikis, lamps, paper, matches, menus, swizzles, treasure craft, hula stuff, ashtrays, whatever!!! But, what I really want are old mugs and they are harder and harder to find. So Z, Sabu, is that about right? Look all the time, find 3-4 a year, "in the Field"? Mahalo, Al
