Tiki Statistics - Collecting Tiki

That includes antique stores mostly. I hit thrift stores rarely. I actually have people who look there for me daily. That does not mean I find a "Tiki Bob" that often, but I do find something. I add to my mug collection monthly from the wild. If I went searching more, I might do better. I usually just stop on the way here or there, and hit my "honey holes" every couple of months. For instance, I know there are a couple of Surfer Girl mugs in a store here now. I have 2 already. $20 each means they stay put there. I know where there is a small bowl, but it was $35-40 when I last looked. No thanks.
