Have to go to Dallas for a week - any good vintage card shops?

[BradH]

I will be in Dallas for business from Saturday (12/3) thru Friday (12/9). It's been a couple years since I've been there and I figured I'd check here to get the experts' thoughts before doing a google search that would likely yield comic book shops, Target, etc.

Or are there maybe any good card shows in the area on Sunday (12/4)? I'm staying at the Hilton Anatole near downtown, but would be happy to drive a bit if needed.

Thanks for any feedback.

Triple Card in Plano and Nick's on Coit and Campbell in Dallas have large vintage card selections.

On the other hand, they are both nice stores, run by good people and are fun to walk around.

nope... but let me know if you find anything.

Well, Rich K above would certainly be the one to know. Triple Card is run by a really nice gentleman and he does get some traffic in his store.

Too bad it's not next weekend as I just paid for a table, last night, for a local show in Allen on 12/10 (Sat.). It's very small but there will be some vintage there. Even if I just walk in, at my age, I am vintage .
Free admission and a friendly atmosphere. It will be 9am-4pm at the Allen Outlet Mall- Hampton Inn off 75N & Stacy Rd (west side of freeway). Hope to see everyone there. I will post a separate thread sometime next week,

Are you coming in for the winter meetings?

If so, I should be down during the event as I tentatively have dinner plans with a friend. He is stuck there during the meetings so that is where we'll have dinner (or lunch if that works better for him)

Brad:
Al, who runs Triple Cards and Collectibles is very, very nice and knowledgeable about the hobby. The shop is located on the east side of Avenue K just south of Park Blvd. in the "old" part of Plano (east of US75). The shop caters mostly to new and modern cards (boxes and packs from 2007 and up), but has a smattering of vintage cards under glass at the counter and loose cards in boxes from most manufacturers from 1980 and up, in case you are looking to fill sets from those eras. Al also has "star" and "superstar" cards from 1980 and up in binders. Also the assortment of mini football helmets, some signed memorabilia, and hobby accessories (sheets, binders, etc.). Most who frequent the store buy the latest hobby boxes and "bust" them for relic cards, etc.

Still, it's the only baseball card shop in Plano.
