There's a card shop that doubles as a ski shop in Media, Pa. Not too too far from the Penn campus. Don't recall the name but will find out. Cards run vintage prewar to modern. Owner very friendly. Inventory not huge but I bought a t206 common, 59 kahns, and 48 bob feller premium from there in the past 2 yrs.

I think this is it, not too far from where I went to college (Swarthmore) --

Paul, whatever happened to Bill Bossert's shop in Swarthmore?
Went there in the late 80's and did lots of business w/ Bill thru his SCD ads.

No clue, Jay. Then again, I wasn't yet into the vintage-collecting thing back then. I could barely scrape up enough cash for cheese steaks, let alone T206's.:)
