Should we stipulate that these shops must carry pre-war vintage?

I dunno....I think all card shops would be ok. The very brief description should help....maybe something like:

"90% modern 10% vintage, and wear a gas mask as the owner smokes in the shop ."


That way if folks would need to travel for 5 minutes it might be worth it but if they have to travel an hour, then a phone call first might be in order.....and if they are allergic to smoke they might skip this one altogether!!

Hot Corner
2980 Nostrand Avenue,
Brooklyn, NY 11229-1879
(718) 252-1555‎

Not sure of hours. Used to deal in vintage cards - not sure if that's still the case. Also has lots of autographs and sometimes has autograph guests.

What about listing the the larger, local card shows? We have ones here (Long Island) twice a year similar to those in White Plains and while they are not overrun with vintage pre-war, five or six dealers usually have a good selection. Just a thought.

Baseball Card Co

1901 West Bay Drive, Largo, FL
(727) 581-2974‎
Hours: TBD (can't remember)
Inventory: Large selection of post-war vintage cards (50's-70's). Especially good for set builders as he has binders and binders full of commons to pick from. A small amount of pre-war vintage cards. Also carries new cards.

P.S. - I think the list should definitely include stores that carry post-war stuff as many folks here collect both pre-war and post-war vintage material. I wasn't expecting to find many pre-war dealers (I do that online), but I'd love to find some dealers close by who have a good selection of 50's and 60's stuff. Thanks!

I had no idea those links were there! I'll send along details for the two Long Island Nationals in a bit. I think I need to look at the site features in details soon....

Hey Jon,

I grew up a few blocks from Hot Corner, used to go their all the time. I think they mostly have post-war these days and as you said autographed items. Unfortunately IMO I think the prices are way out of line.
