We are blessed to have two really fine Sport Card Shops here in the Dallas area; Nick's Sports Cards in Richardson and Triple Cards and Collectibles in Plano. I usually go to the Plano shop due to location, but both are well maintained, well-stocked, and family run. While both cater mostly to the "new card" crowd with box breaks, pulls, etc., they also carry vintage, mostly from the 1950s-1980s. Both also carry a smattering of signed memorabilia, football mini helmets, pennants, posters, and non-sports.
Triple Cards within the past month put out a new table featuring 1950 Bowmans singles and mid-to-late 1950s Topps singles. He has started to buy collections and now sell them in the store. He also carries vintage and new "Pokemon" singles, which appeal to my sons. My youngest looks forward to getting a new pack of Star Wars cards whenever we go, so there is a non-sports market for the younger for sure. It is nice for me to pick up the supplies I need at reasonable prices and add a few 1951, 1952 Bowmans to the collection.
