Where?

Thanks

Baseball etc. on Route 16 in Nonantum/Newton. I haven't been in quite some time but for many years they were mostly a place to buy newer stuff.

There is also Kenmore Collectibles which as the name implies is near Kenmore Square. More vintage there and they have an ebay presence. I've known the owner for decades, first-class.

Was not aware of them. I agree with you on Kenmore Collectibles . Baystate Coin on Bromfield St used to have vintage cards, but I've not been there in a while. There is also Hit and Run in Lexington, I don't think they have much if any vintage, but they do have supplies.

In the day when Kenmore Collectibles (then JJ Teaparty) was on Bromfield Street I would sometimes stop in to Bay State but I never seemed to buy anything there. I can still, after all the years, picture two of the guys' faces clear as day though.

Thanks, Taylor.
Certainly one of the oddest locations in which we've ever seen any business choose to locate itself...

Schaefers is a great card shop. It's RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of a median strip on the highway. They have several million cards, tons of weird oddball and just a mish mash of everything. I like 'em. It looks like the Dixie Card Shop in Williamsport finally shut down.

One can't say that it isn't easy to get to, no matter which way your are going on PA 15. Note the "Store Closing" sign. I stopped in back in December and was told the owner was retiring but have no idea when the store would actually be closed.
