Few and far between but here they are...

Sportscards plus in Laguna is one of the better ones...nice selection and every now and then a very good bargain to be found.

Beverly Hills Baseball Card Shop in Beverly Hills...not a bad shop...fun to look through with some pre-war and vintage. A little high on the price side but not Mike Wheat high.

Burbank Sportscards located in Burbank...my favorite...a little light on pre-war stuff but is ultra organized. I would be surprised if they could not find something from 1948-present. Price wise a little high but not too bad considering the selection and organization.

Valley Baseball Card Shop located in West Hills/Tarzana...one of the oldest shops in the Valley...fairly knowledgeable owner with a small selection of pre-war and odd ball vintage...a lot of stuff hidden in the back. Bargains to be had here but it takes some searching.

Porky's...located in Valley Village...the closest shop I never visit...the owner is a shill and works for tuff stuff...what ever is in his store seems to rise in price in that magazine. Thinks grading is for suckers and never goes below 75% of beckett...some pre-war but expect to pay for it. Customer service is lacking...I would avoid...

Not sure if it is still open but in Costa Mesa there was a shop called Whiz Kids that had a decent selection and some service.

There are a few other shops around town that carry only newer items...there is one or two places in the Claremont/Garden Grove area but I can not remember their names that have some vintage stuff.

Dont forget that David Levin lives in Los Angeles and currently there is no better place for Old Judges...he can be reached through his website...www.gfg.com/baseball
Hope this helps...
