That is not correct. It is in that little strip mall off of Santa Fe where the Winn Dixie used to be. They have cards, coins, comics, supplies. I haven't been in there in awhile, because they last time I was in there, the owner showed me his 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set. We got to talking and the time escaped me. Next thing I know, I had been an hour in there in what was supposed to be a quick glance around. My girlfriend waited in the car the whole time and was furious when I finally came out.

It was called the Cumberland Coin Exchange, and it's been awhile since I been in there. I just did a little research and it looks like it recently closed??

This might explain why...

Ah, ok. I thought you were talking about "Cardz-n-Things," which is a gaming store. Never heard of the Coin Exchange, but it does look like it's closed.

yes, Gene was the owner of the coin exchange...the only actual LCS left around Fayetteville and it was closed several months ago as Gene is having some health issues. It's unfortunate how scarce LCS's are these days, but we have a way to hopefully keep the stores doors open and get the hobby thriving again!

Robert you are lucky to be alive, I would have been afraid to fall asleep for at least a few days after that.
