Any card shops worth going to in the San Fran area? Will be there a few days and was wondering if they have any good shops.

While you are in San Fran, go to

Musée Mécanique
Pier 45 Shed A, San Francisco, CA

Old-fashioned coin operated and arcade machines. They have baseball machines, as well as other sports. No admission and all machines are playable. Has to be seen to be believed. Obscure arcade games of all kinds including an Opium Den, a Mechanical Farm, and many other scenes that will make you say wow, or WTF.

I second Stevens Creek Sports in San Jose. With a nice selection of vintage cards and great customer service, it's a throwback to an earlier era ...

I third Stevens Creek in San Jose. They always have a nice little selection of vintage and oddball cards and have never come away disappointed.

In SF city proper, there are no card shops here. If I told you what rents were, along with SF and CA taxes, cost of living, and yearly salaries, you'd get the picture.

The Stevens Creek store is about an hour away if no traffic. PM me if you plan on driving outside the city.

Trader J's in Dublin is a good one too.

I second M&M in San Leandro (might technically be in San Lorenzo, or right on the edge)

And I also second Musee Mecanique. Truly truly amazing place!

I fourth Stevens Creek :cool: Been going there on-and-off for probably 15 years or so. The owner is a pleasure to deal with and has always done me right. I've taken my 6-year old son there for the first time this past year and he's done him right too. Worth the trip!

I will prob do a little site seeing in San Jose and give this place a look.

Might also be worthwhile if you are into rock posters from the psychedelic era. Dennis King has one of the premier collections in the world and he's a super nice guy.
