Vintage card shops in Palm Springs area?
 
Hi all,

Wondering if anyone knows of any vintage (preferably t206) card shops/dealers in the Palm Springs area? Family has a house out here that I have been spending a lot of time at lately and was hopeful there were some new spots I could visit.

Thanks.

Daniel

Pretty bare bones there as it is the desert. Lived there for years in Rancho Mirage and really do not remember any there.

Downtown Palm Springs had a fantastic store with vintage BB cards and memorabilia. But that was back in the '90s and I can't remember the name. I'm sure it's now long-gone.

We're thinking of retiring in LaQuinta in a few years. Seems like a good opportunity there, with all of the retirees.

Are you talking about Past & Present? It was in La Plaza in the heart of downtown.

That was it! Any chance it's still there?

Probably about the same chance as the Reds winning another Pennant in my lifetime (0.000000000001%), but still thought I'd ask. :o

@perezfan thats awesome. Past & Present was my fathers shop, and my mother did flowers out of the back. I used to work there behind the counter after school between the ages of 10 and 12 (1993-1995). We are no longer in business but we still enjoy the hobby.

So awesome! Just seeing the latest replies but what a fun history!
