Growing up in Richmond I spent many hours looking through cards at Ernie White's shop, called Collector's Corner. In the early 80s I witnessed a lot of amazing collections walk into his place. I used to get dropped off there before I was old enough to drive. There was also a general antiques guy named Jess Holder in Richmond. Just a great guy. Jess had a booth at an old antique mall where he sold everything imaginable, but he always had good cards from the 50s through 70s. I still have a ton of cards we got from both places.
My Dad and I also visited House of Cards and other spots on our regular visits to DC and Maryland.
Val, I too used to get cards at the 7-11s in Richmond and NOVA but as a younger kid in Florida it was the local Li'l Champ convenience store that always had em.
