Back in the 1980s, I was growing up in a village in Upstate New York. Our only "card shop" at the time *was* a guy selling out of his garage when he wasn't doing his "regular" job. The nearest card shop was in Watertown, 18 miles away and too far to pedal a bike at my age.

I don't think we'll get back to the late 80's early 90's. Around here though it looks like card shops are maing a bit of a comeback. There was one survivor, who does the shop, and uses the internet very well, offloading dead inventory quickly before it becomes unsaleble locally. Like when a player gets traded or leaves.
And a new shop just opened last week, a show dealer that decided to open. Steve B |
