Where to acquire (not so) old maps?

[DevalDragon]

I'm looking to acquire some maps - Virginia, Maryland and Ohio - from the 1980s and 1990s. Is there a good place to find this type of thing, or is E-Bay the only place?

Try checking out the Historic official state maps online thread. If they're not there, or you wish to have hard copies, eBay might be your best bet.

Let me check my collection, too, to see what I have

Find a flea market that has areas where people set up outside. I routinely score road maps at them.

In my experience there are two kinds of people selling maps at flea markets: those that overprice anything old and kitschy, maps included, and those who have no idea what they have and will sell you a whole bunch for cheap.

Neither are the folks that tore my heart out and showed it to me by selling an amazing set of road maps going as far back as the 1930s that were [pause as inside of me dies a little]... turned into coasters.

Yep that's the general public selling stuff in a nutshell: The people who have gold think they have shit and the ones that think they have gold have shit.

With the caveat that the Internet has informed some previously ignorant folks of the real market value of their collectible stuff.
