Default Cards in the Philippines ?

Posted By: Fred C

Leon,

Seriously, I doubt that there are any sports cards shops over there. First, look at the economy of scales. The US has a lot of extra cash to spend on that stuff. Over there most of the people survive and some do better than others but I wouldn't exactly call collecting American sports memorabilia a huge past time over there. There are a few places over there that might be westernized (Makati comes to mind) but I don't recall seeing anything like that over there. I wont say it's an impossibility but the likelihood of running into something over there (vintage) is probably remote at best. Sure, lots of Americans have been there but look at the overall environment, if somebody brought stuff there 50 years ago it would have had to have been preserved in an overall humid climate. Possible - Yes, Probable - No.
