Posted By: <b>Mike Campbell</b><p>My wife and I are heading to Manhatten for New Years. Any vintage shops that shouldn't be missed? I haven't been there in a few years. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>If you mean it should properly be spelled "Manhattan" I've never heard of it either, and I live in Brooklyn. Actually, there are some vintage comic book stores and some cool places to find old jazz and rock albums in Greenwich Village, but baseball card shops disappeared a long time ago.

Posted By: <b>Mike Campbell</b><p>Sorry for the misspelling of the island. Just got back from a meeting, haven't even eaten or packed yet. leaving in 9 hours. But thanks for the address. I will check it out in a couple days. If nothing else, I love to chat with fellow collectors or sellers.

Posted By: <b>MyBuddy</b><p>This thread would make a great cartoon:<br /><br />Hundred of thousands of people partying in Times Square as the ball dropped on New Year's Eve, in the first panel. And in the second panel, one of "us" squatted alone in a dank back corner of some old comic book store flipping thru a shoe box of cards.<br /><br />My mind tends to wonder ---- <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
