Card shows in Cooperstown
If you are going to look the Museum has one of the best collections of baseball cards in the world. I believe that some of the collection is on display on the third floor.
If you are going to shop there are several shops that sell cards on main street and near the Field of Dreams park just south of town. The prices are pretty high, but you may be able to barter. Barry is correct about the card show just across the street from the Hall on induction week. It is certainly worth going to, but is only available that one weekend a year. I've purchased cards from Ted Z and other vendors at the show every year. There is also a vendor in Ostego, Don Flewing (the spelling of Don's last name is probably incorrect), that has a nice assortment of vintage cards for sale. Don owns a antique store on Route 7 about thirty miles South of Cooperstown.
There are other members on the board that can give you directions to his store.
Cooperstown is a great place to visit anytime of the year. I hope you enjoy your trip.
