Classic late 1970's early 80's Card Shop

I used the same method touching up some 68's. Hopefully, this one will come back a 10 now...

You need to start a go fund me page to get a new keyboard.
and if you bought out an old card shop, I have dibs on the 84 Donruss pile.

70's early 80's card shop? Did such a thing exist? We used to have Shinder's cards, comics and magazine shops here in Minnesota. The last one closed in downtown St. Paul over a decade ago. It was a perfect place for dad's. Kids would look at cards and the dad's would be looking at Penthouse's and Playboys in the ADULT ONLY section. Sadly, I was just a kid.

Yes they did exist.

My local was Halls Nostalgia, I think they'd barely been open a year when I moved there in late 77. There was also by 80-81 an antique shop inside a sewing store that had cards. I got a couple pretty nice 50s commons there.
And in 81-82 I went to Chicago and visited a place in a suburb south of the city.
There were a few others sort of local to me. Fenway sportscards, One in Stoneham? And there was also a coin place in Boston that was doing cards, but seemed way over priced.

I'll take the Buchner Gold Coin, recolored or otherwise!

I'm sure the Dad's were just reading the articles. LOL

Back before people took cards so damn seriously, when it was simply a hobby

A guy named Phil Bolsta ran a one man card shop in St. Cloud late 70's. I think mostly he was just liquidating his own stuff, which was extensive. When I moved to Phoenix in '81, Bob Wilke already had The Shoe Box up and running for awhile. I have great memories of each place.
