Posted By: <b>Shane</b><p>I hope this is okay to post here.<br /><br />I'm in Athens , Ohio and prefer to buy cards in person as oppossed to online auctions since i've been burned one too many times. Can anyone recommend a reputable dealer in Ohio, or even neighboring states would be okay since I'm pretty close to WV, Penn and Ky.

Posted By: <b>Bryan Long</b><p>not too far away from you and visit Athens on regular basis for work. I have been searching for places to buy cards ever since I moved down here but with no luck. You may be able to find a shop every now and then but if you are looking for a pre-war collector that has a shop you need to move <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> If you ever want to meet up just let me know. I'm always looking to meet other pre-war collectors.<br />Just to let you know there is a guy in Huntington WV that has a very nice collection of post-war cards but he doesn't own a shop. He runs the show circuit quite a bit and when a show runs through this part of the area he is there. Really nice high quality stuff. Can't seem to remember his last name though. First name is Mike.

Posted By: <b>Jared</b><p>I live in Athens also and collect vintage baseball cards. In Zanesville, Ohio they hold about 5 card shows a year. I usually attend most of them but would also be interested in maybe doing some trading.

Posted By: <b>Bryan Long</b><p>Jimi lives in Mount Vernon which is about 45 minutes north of columbus - but he doesn't have anything that you want <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> All the good trades should go through me first <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
