Need sunglasses to look your crosses. How on Earth do you find these?

**tempelhof** · 08-31-2012, 04:35 AM

it's a process. that's for sure.

basically i just wait and wait and wait. then, when one pops up, of course the source usually wants a premium. i don't bargain. i pay what they ask because these things come up too rarely. so there's a little pain both ways: the waiting and, sometimes, the paying.

but it adds some excitement to the whole process of collecting for me.

probably i run into a cross like this about twice a year if i'm lucky. and i work pretty hard at it since i work at home in a home office. i'm scouring constantly for these things. every day.
