I’m also going to the ReStore this Saturday as well!   :D
Hopefully I’ll find some good stuff...

When I'm at the ReStore, the tubes are often arranged so that the endcaps are most visible, so that's what I look at first.  Anything black bakelite grabs my attention first.  Next I look for the old "rounder" style Sylvania endcaps, and GE endcaps with one punch hole.  After that, I'll look through anything with 2-punch GE endcaps and modern Sylvania/Philips endcaps.
