I understand this is a pretty common item as far as vintage items go, but now I'm hooked! It got me excited about hunting for vintage mugs. So my question is this for the for the veteran wild mug collectors: I recently took a job with 1/2 day Fridays, which seems like a good deal for thrift shop visits ahead of the weekend crowd. What is the best day to hit the thrift shops & beat the antique dealers and everyone else? Mid-week, Mondays, Fridays, or just hit & miss random luck? Any and all input appreciated!! :)
