My local shop's new 'no back issue bins' policy compared to the old setup is a disaster for finding hidden gems.

After they switched to a curated wall system six months ago, I went from finding a mint copy of 'Moon Knight #1' for $15 to only seeing overpriced modern keys, so has anyone found a good shop that still lets you dig?

Yeah my local spot did the same thing. I started hitting up flea markets on Sundays. Found a long box under a table last month, got a decent copy of Swamp Thing 37 for like five bucks. Takes more legwork but the finds are still out there.

Man I’m just impressed you found a long box without hurting your back (or your pride) in the process.

What's the point of a comic shop if you can't get a sore back from digging? The hunt is half the fun, and now it's just a fancy looking wall. I feel like I'm browsing a museum gift shop instead of finding comics.
