Louie,
Looks like you will miss the Twin Oaks show mentioned above.
It's in East Portland, but will be on July 23.
Missing that show wouldn't be terribly tragic to your collection since it's a very small show. Some great guys though and I usually try to go just to hang out with them.

If you collect prewar, there won't likely be anything around. There are two card stores that I am aware of in Vancouver, across from Portland...and not too far from where I live. Newer cards seem to be the norm there, but they occasionally have some 50-60-70's era cards.

What are your plans in Portland? If you are so inclined, I can sometimes break away for a cup of coffee and a chat. Talking baseball cards is nearly as fun as collecting them (witness the traffic on this board :-)

PM me if you want to go to one of those shops...depending on the day and my dumb work schedule, I may be able to join you.

Take care and enjoy your time in the Great Northwest. It's a pretty special place!
