Hey Travis!
Hey, Travis, I am near Detroit and will be making a 4+ hour drive in. I wish I could help you on the card stores in the Chi-Town area. I will be staying all day Saturday and can't wait for the weekend! Best of luck at the show!
Best, Andy Quote:

Card Shops
Guys, I live just outside Chicago and will tell you from my experience it is a card shop wasteland out here. I haven't been in a decent shop in years. Unless you want new cards (mid '90's and up) forget it. I will stand corrected if anyone can come up with a shop with a decent selection of vintage cards. You can barely find a show with more than 30 tables besides the 2 Sun Times shows and the Fans Edge show in the summer (lame!) Sorry 'bout that, pretty pathetic for the 3rd largest city in the US. About the show itself, pretty good size and pretty good selection but as I stated earlier, I was VERY surprised at the high prices at the fall show despite the economy. I personally did not see alot of purchases being made, just alot of looking.

shops
Agreed, no shops around anymore. I stopped in to one called AU Sportscards in Niles, IL off of Touhy Ave. a few weeks ago, and all they had was modern stuff and a few really overpriced beater Playball cards.

Unfortunately, card stores & card shows have been replaced by eBay & the auction houses. See you at the National in Baltimore !!!

While there aren't any decent shops for vintage near Chicago, I do like living close to it for the Sun Times shows and a short drive to the National every few years. Going to only a few shows a year makes them that much more exciting for me.
