I was amazed that there was a whole store that had nothing but sports cards and collectibles!

Steve,
Your recollection is right on the money. I believe there's a restaurant there now, in the same building. I honestly can't recall if it was Fenway Sportscards or Kenmore Sportscards, but I believe it was the former.
