Default Bay Area Vintage Card Shops

Posted By: David McDonald

Papa's used to be in Menlo Park on El Camino just next to the Guild Theatre. The store has been gone for many years now. I bought my first vintage card from him, a '33 Goudey Dean. Totally overpaid but I don't blame Papa. He was a businessman and I was a domsheet. To my recollection he was an allright guy but I don't know how well he knew baseball. I remember once him explaining how Babe Ruth played "just up the road" at St. Mary's College. Close but no cigar.
