HI Stamps and Coins for me out of Clarendon Hills, Illinois when I used to live in Hinsdale. They are long gone and the building is torn down and replaced. My last memory was going down there with $35 in 1991 at the age of 10 trying to score a Hank Aaron card. These guys talked me into buying a 62 Topps Sphann instead since I did not have enough for Aaron. I did not know who Warren Sphann was back then, so when I told my mom I spent all my money on a guy I knew nothing about because the shop owners talked me into it, my mom was furious and went down there demanding they return my money. These guys were in their mid to late 20s back then and they refused to refund. I never went back.
When I moved to Romeoville in my teen years, I remember Gold Glove. they were a great business, very honest, ok prices, nice guys til they went belly up in the late 90s-early 2000s I think.
