Seattle Baseball Memorabilia Shops?

[drcy]

Though I haven't been, there is a little card shop in the Pike Place Market. There's also a very big antiques store called Seattle Antiques Market on the waterfront near Pike Street Market. Easy to hit both, though I make no promises about Mariners and Pilots items. There are Mariners' team stores at the stadium and downtown, though it will be pricey modern stuff.

So has anyone here heard about the big Mariners store find from about 2011 or so? The Mariners team store found boxes of game worn jerseys from the 80's and 90's. Tons of Griffeys, Big Units, Edgar's, Arod's, Ichiro, some Vizquel's, Buhners, etc. They sold them all in their team store, and since they weren't authenticated, they sold them as game issued.

I was able to get 3 Big Unit's, a couple Edgar's, a Buhners, and a few lower end players from the 80's. I unfortunately wasn't able to get any of the Griffey, Arod or Ichiro jerseys(they were long gone), but it was an amazing sale they had.

Anyone here buy anything from that sale?

Sorry, don't mean to get off topic. The subject made me think of it

I have visited this shop twice within the last 3 years. It's a VERY small shop and I did find a couple of pristine Crackerjacks pinbacks that I had been looking for at a reasonable price. Their inventory is very limited, but if you visit Pike Street Market you should check them out. The people there were friendly, FWIW.

My fiance' used to work at that team shop so ill ask her about it. The pike place store sells a decent amount of 50's-higher raw cards but nothing great. Most stuff is highly priced and not worth it imo. Still a cool little shop to visit. They also specialize in coins

Is the shop in the market hard to find?

Doesn't runscott own a store in Belltown? Or is that not a brick and mortar store?

No its very easy. Youll most likely start from the top of the market where they sell all the food and stuff. Go downstairs and youll walk into a bunch of stores. Its right across from the magic shop

The Pike Street Market includes an indoor mall. You can enter it at several points at the market and on that block of First Avenue. There will be big signs and you can ask. Pike Street Market is on the side of a hill, so there are different levels. Most pictures (as below) show the top outdoor level with the famous clock sign. Duly note that the mall is very old fashioned (circa 1900) with hardwood floors, and I assume is in its original circa 1900 design. We're not talking a modern suburban mall.
