Welcome to the club.  I've been at this for five years, and I still feel
that way.  These collecting hobbies are like drugs...always need that next
fix.  One day, someone will ban collecting.  :)

Well, you can always try calling around antique shops where you are, but
you're more than likely going to come across people who will charge way
more than whatever they have is worth.  I'd suggest that you hunt around
on ebay, the web auction site.  Search for various permutations of
stereoview/views (or look in the collectables:photographic images
category) and you'll find a lot for sale, you can have hundreds of
views in a couple of weeks.  My impression of ebay is that single views
& small groupings tend to be priced on the high side, but larger groupings
tend to go for a more reasonable price.  There are a bunch of mid side
groupings up now.  Try http://cayman.ebay.com/aw/search.html

Have fun!
