Ontario Vintage Card Shops?

[cardsmemro]

I’ll be traveling through Ontario next month and was wondering if there’s any good vintage card shops to stop at?

I personally don't know of any but doing a quick Google search netted me these results. Personally, I'd call everyone of them first to assure they are still open and in business.
Good Luck, and if you happen upon any, I'd like to hear your thoughts on them.
Safe travels.

Forget about London and area. Nothing to see here. There are a few shops, but nothing for vintage baseball and a laughable selection of vintage hockey.

Dan, I’m not aware of any shops with vintage baseball here in Toronto. Flip Collectibles is a neat store if you have any interest in cards from the 80s and 90s - they have a good selection of unopened boxes from those years.

This likely won't work for you but I thought I'd post it in case you delay your trip for some reason?

This is the best show Canada can come up with. If your focus is vintage baseball, you might as well not attend. It's always been 95% hockey any time I've gone. I don't mind hockey, but just not good for baseball (unless there's been some unforeseen change, but I doubt it). They do tend to have great lineups of autograph guests, but again, hockey.

Dan, any particular year, condition, players etc. or looking for? There might be net54 members you can trade with or buy.

My collection is Buffalo focused and there was a ton of Canadian releases through the years that highlight players from the Bisons (C46, 1936 World Wide Gum, 1950 Big League Stars.) Was hoping shops would have some sort of stock or at least leads.

I used to see the odd C46 and World Wide Gum up here, but that was over 30 years ago. Of course, I haven't been scouring the area for cards like I did back then, but any Canadian LCS I've been in since the early 1990's has unfortunately been a disappointment. The last local one I went into had a handful of late 1970's-early 1980's OPC hockey priced at 10-20 times actual value because, I was told, they were "vintage". (If I had dangled a baggie of meth under the new owner's nose, he would have likely given me the store and his Hyundai Pony.)

Unfortunately nothing in Ontario. Just moved to Santa Clara last week so excited to see if there is more down here!

I'm sure you've been there, but there's a huge antique mall in Clarence, NY just outside of Buffalo.
I remember seeing some older Buffalo Bisons cards and memorabilia in a couple of the consignor display cases there.
