Baseball Card Shops in NYC

[NYYFan63]

I will be in NYC next week from Thursday - Sunday for an annual ritual of meeting friends to watch March Madness. I wanted to see which card stores I should hit during my time in the city.

Thanks in advance.

Not much there. Alex's MVP is the only real one I'm aware of. Small shop on the UES. I've bought a ton of supplies from there, and they do have some vintage stuff. Another place is Brigandi Coins. They had a shop in midtown with some cards, autographs and other sports stuff. I think they switched locations and haven't been to the new one, but the other was a pretty cool shop to stop into--not a traditional card shop/collectibles place though.

Not sure about the outer Burroughs but could not find anything when I searched back when I was living there.

There's also Chameleon Comics near the WTC. They only really have modern boxes but a decent selection of them if you're in a gambling mood.

Take the train to from Grand Central to White Plains and walk 10 minutes to the Westchester County Center show this weekend. That's what I'd do if I had a few hours to kill.

Thanks for the quick responses guys.

and T206 - that's a great idea! I may just have to do that. I was not aware of the show this weekend. I did attend the January show.

Thanks again guys!

Not sure what is available for viewing now but the Met has the Burdick Collection and I know in the past they have had some cool stuff out.

Gotta Have It on East 57th has some nice memorabilia, although a (very) small shop.

I lived in Astoria, Queens for three years right before I got back into collecting, and in my time there I never went to the Met to see this collection. Really wish I had now!

Very easy from train. A short walk I recall.

Good to know - thanks!

Funny...I'm flying in on Wednesday for the same thing and the added bonus of St. Patricks Day. Probably not convenient with your other plans, but if the White Plains show is that weekend, that would be your best bet. It's a great show. NYC is surprisingly barren when it comes to sports cards and memorabilia IMO.

Do you know if the show is upstairs or down in the basement?

It's upstairs.

Thanks Michael. The upstairs shows are usually pretty good but the couple
of downstairs shows weren't worth the trip for me, There was very little
pre-war at the two or three downstairs shows that I went to.

Pretty slim pickens. Only one I regular drop in in

Chameleon Comics & Cards: 3 Maiden Lane, Financial District. OK, modest. Half comics, half cards.
