McLean Sports Collectibles Shop Opening

[kcohen]

Following the positive reception of the "yard sale" announced in a previous thread, we (yes it really is "we" as there are 4 collectors involved) have been sufficiently encouraged to take the next step and open a shop.

We are opening this Saturday, November 21. Store hours are from 12 to 7, Tuesday through Saturday. We'll have a good selection of vintage cards, some memorabilia, supplies, and some wax. (Note: we won't be equipped for credit card processing for about another week.)

The address is 6819 Elm Street, McLean, VA, phone number 703-PLA-BALL (703-752-2255). There is a parking lot and easy on-street parking.

We are building an email contact list so please feel free to contact me if you wish to be added, as a few of you did after the sale.

This is a labor of love for us and we hope that the shop will be a place where fellow hobbyists and kindred spirits can come, hang out a bit, bring your kids, and maybe pick up a card or two. The coffee's on us. Anytime you out-of-town Net54ers are around, we hope you'll take the time to drop by. Feel free to contact me if you intend to do so.

Thanks

Ken Cohen

Ken - Promise me a decaf and that you'll bring the Sam Rice card you FORGOT to bring to the Chantilly Show, and I'll make every effort to visit your store this Saturday (my wife will be out of town, so I won't have any excuses for not making it :D)!! I wish the best to you and your partners in this endeavor! Kindly put me on your list: ekehl333@aol.com
