Default Anybody here remember Jim's Sports Collectables, Garden City Mich?

What a cool store that was. Tons of prewar and 50s to 80s stuff. Even had an old wood and glass showcase and partial wall of non sports and I mean old old stuff. Whole sets. I once met Frank Nagy there and Jim, his mom and Frank and I talked cards for hours. Another time two teenagers came in with a jewelry box they said their aunt gave them and said "get what you can for them" there was about 300 52topps all first series,pack fresh, black and red backs.There were 3 or 4 of each card. Jim scrambled and came up with the 800 bucks it took to buy em. After the kids left I immediately bought both sain/page errors to upgrade and a blazing red back Billy Loes. Jim was a great guy and loved cards. The good die young. I miss the old store days of the late 80's. Aloha,Dave
