It's sad that it's come to card shops being almost extinct. I dread the day when/if it happens to card shows. To me, it wasn't just about going in to pick up some cards but it always seemed the owners just loved to talk about cards as well. That aspect I miss greatly.
However, I did stumble on a little old place called House of Cards in Silver Spring, MD for the first time two weeks ago. I'm pretty certain most of you know of the place.
Though I did just go to check it out as I'm new to the area and want to see what is around, I had to make a couple of "shiny" purchases as I collect a couple of modern players. And hey, when you find a card that has the autographs of both Bill Buckner and Mookie Wilson on it, how can you pass it up? Back to the vintage side, I'll be going back up there for a specific card I passed on at the time. I just hope it's still there.
