Default Disappearing Hobby Stores

Posted By: Dan Bretta

I don't do new stuff anymore either, but I still give my local card shop some money by buying my supplies from him and the Topps factory baseball set every year....the owner has been a friend since the days when we were kids buying out of the only card shop in town which was some guys basement. The card shop has become more of a gambling parlor than anything else...I don't go often, but usually when I'm there it's grown men buying a box and cracking it open, keeping the inserts and doing who knows what with the regular cards. I'm pretty sure that we only have one card shop now...there used to be 4 or 5 during the early 90s haydays.
