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.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, fellas. The Ommegang brewery is definitely on our list...And Tom, we're actually heading up there this weekend (staying at a bed and breakfast), maybe we'll run in to you... By the way - do you run a cool little curiosity shop across from the comic book store in Scotch Plains?? I remember having a nice chat with the owners about Cooperstown..hmmm...
