NCBoy is dead on with Tandy leather. I never buy from them unless I can handle the piece of leather because they are all over the page on quality. If you have one close by, get to know the manager and he will usually give you a heads up when something good comes in (if he knows his business).
Mine will actually pull a few sides for me when he sees something good.
That and learn to "read" leather......takes practice.
