Default Card Shops in Ireland ???
I know I should have asked this way before but. Leaving for Ireland Co. Clare County tomorrow night at 6PM. I'll be there for about 8 days.

Anyone know of any card shops??? I'd love to find some pre-war stuff over there. I've seen some guy sell T206s on eBay from Ireland quite a few times.

It's a long shot but if anyone knows anything let me know. I may try to bring my laptop with me.

Should have traded for Buck so he could visit Ireland

Josh, could you do me a favor? If you find a Kansas City Royals Gift Shop over there, would you buy me a few World Series sweatshirts?

I have been too busy to look, so I do not know if there is a Kansas City Royals Gift Shop here in Kansas City.

Let me know, thanks.

Josh,

I work for an Irish company that is headquartered in Limerick. I sent up the bat signal. Of course, I have no idea how close Limerick is to Clare County.

The Royals are more popular in England, you could try there.

Trust me, over here 99.99% of people don't know who Babe Ruth or Mickey Mantle is.

I think Peter is right. A Londoner need not know about Mick or Babe to appreciate the Royals

Ron,

I think they would be less expensive in Bangkok. My wife leaves in a couple of weeks. I will have her find a few. Is 8XL still the correct size? They run small, you know.

While there could you look for some naked Leprechan cards. Preferably ones with a map for the pot of gold.

The eBay Seller is: liffeystynx

Really nice mid-grade T206's from time to time. I've bought from him on several occasions. His cards always ship from Ireland, and somehow arrive in record time!

Message him and see what he has to say.

My family is from County Clare. And by family, I mean two of my great-great-great-grandparents, with several others hailing from Cork, Kerry, and Tipperary. They did not mention any card shops anywhere in Munster at the time of the famine.

Cards in Ireland

BEER in Ireland


But, seriously, check out some shops. Check for old golf, cricket, boxing, football (i.e. soccer), etc. Check them vs. ebay, you may find some deals.

Even more seriously, have a pint (or 2) for me !!!!!!!!!!!!

Having lived in the UK for many years and having visited Ireland many times for golf, Guinness and local color, I can almost say categorically it is a dry hole as far as vintage baseball cards is concerned; however, if you are looking for cards of fish, flowers, soccer players, entertainers and so on then that is your place. If by any chance though, you run across any T215 Pirates, pls let me know and I will be on the next plane with a bag full of money.

Beer appears to be very low ABV which I'm dissapointed with. But it's beer

When last in Ireland I mentioned collecting of baseball cards. None to be found, although a few seemed interested in the idea. In 1980-81 Topps issued a soccer set in three-fold, same as the basketball. In the 1980's to early 90's I had seen Topps usually tiffany like stock on various issues.
