Kevin"If you are going South of Los Angeles, Southbay Cards in Torrance/Lomita is very good. Not a lot of prewar but a few. They do have a lot of PSA/SGC material and a few oddballs...the owner is a good guy too (Ian)."
I live about 1/2 mile from there and have been a customer since they opened (1986?). Not much in prewar but just outstanding people, Ian and his son Scott. The kind of guys who will open a good pack of new cards and give them to kids.
Every time I visit I buy something...even if I don't need it. Then shoot the breeze about sports or our families. Just trying to support the type of shop owners who didn't forget how to treat customers.
Hell, a couple months ago I had a radical type of surgery (then got infected and had to repeat it). Scott found out through a friend and sent me over a box of cards as a get well present.
I just can't say enough about this family!
