My family has a summer home there so I am familiar with most of the shops in the area. To be honest, while there are lots of shops, you will not find any bargains in Cooperstown. All the shops have plenty of autographs since the HOFers do so many signings up there. However, there is not much in the way of vintage cards and what there is will usually have a "tourist" mark up. I will be up there this weekend opening my house and can let you know if any new shops have opened (as is often the case). There is a very good show at the VFW hall across from the Hall of Fame. Ted Z and several other good dealers are in town and I always pick up a few nice cards but it is around HOF weekend and it would be hard to find accommodations in the area for that weekend if you have not booked already.
