Yes they did exist.
My local was Halls Nostalgia, I think they'd barely been open a year when I moved there in late 77. There was also by 80-81 an antique shop inside a sewing store that had cards. I got a couple pretty nice 50s commons there.
And in 81-82 I went to Chicago and visited a place in a suburb south of the city.
There were a few others sort of local to me. Fenway sportscards, One in Stoneham? And there was also a coin place in Boston that was doing cards, but seemed way over priced.
