I am so out of touch I did not even realize they were no longer in Everett, where of course they were an institution for many years. Phil the owner knew a lot of the Boston players.

There's also batter up in Tewksbury. Mostly modern and gaming, with a few vintage postwar cards that I think are slightly overpriced (or I'd have bought them)

I haven't been to their shop since it was in Everett.

When someone asks for recommendations on what card shops he should dig around in while visiting a particular city or town.

Probably 15+ years since he left Everett!

Truth is, you're not going to find much in the way of card shops with vintage in the Boston area these days. Different times of the year, there are a few card shows which are worthwhile, but not much for brick and mortar with vintage.

Bay State Coin on Bromfield St (near Park Street Subway) always had cards. But to be honest I've not been there in a few years. There's a Sunday show in Woburn (10 miles north) that's pretty small, some vintage.
