Vintage Airline Timetables - Collecting Tips?

So, I've recently stumbled into the world of collecting vintage airline timetables, and it's honestly becoming a bit of an obsession. Just found a 1965 American Airlines timetable at a flea market and it got me hooked! There's something about those old schedules and the way they capture a moment in time.

But I'm pretty new to this, so I'm looking for some advice. Where do you all find the best deals? Is eBay the way to go, or do you have better luck at estate sales and flea markets? Also, any tips on how to store them so they don't get damaged? Right now, I've got them in a shoebox, but that can't be ideal.

Would love to hear how other collectors manage their collections and maybe even some cool finds you've scored over the years!

I've been collecting for a while, and honestly, eBay's hit or miss. Sometimes you find gems, but prices can get crazy. Estate sales can be goldmines if you're lucky. As for storing, I'd ditch the shoebox. I use archival sleeves and keep them in a binder. Keeps them flat and safe from moisture. Found a 1970 Pan Am timetable at an estate sale last year, and it's still in great shape thanks to that method. Have you come across any timetables with interesting routes? Always love seeing the old flight paths.

I've had some good luck at flea markets and estate sales too, but don't sleep on eBay alerts. Set them up for specific airlines or years you're interested in. That way, you get notified when something pops up. For storage, those acid-free archival sleeves work wonders. Keeps them flat and safe from moisture. I use a binder with plastic sleeves, and it's been great for flipping through without handling them too much. Have you found any other good years or airlines since the '65 AA one?
