Took me 6 hours to find a single back issue of X-Men #266 at a con last Saturday

I was hunting for my first appearance of Gambit at a small show in Austin. I must have flipped through 40 long boxes across maybe 12 different vendors. Finally found a copy buried under a stack of 90s Image books at a table near the exit. Has anyone else spent way too long digging for one specific issue at a convention?

Wait, you actually found one buried under a stack of Image books? That's either the luckiest or most cursed hiding spot I've ever heard of.

Didn't @king.aaron say that comic book stores used to throw keys in with stuff like that?
