Who Are the People On Here With the Vintage Shop in McLean, VA?

His name is Ken Cohen. He posts fairly regularly. If he doesn't respond to the thread, send me an email at MDsportscards@gmail.com and I will forward it to Ken, who is a friend if mine.

The card shop is located at 6819 Elm Street, McLean VA 22101. It is not a store front - rather it is inside a small office/commercial building. The phone # is 703-PLA-BALL (or 703-752-2255). The shop is operated by Ken Cohen (a board member) and Ron Barrett (I don't think Ron is a board member) - both are great guys. I believe the shop is open from noon 'til 7 p.m., Tuesday thru Saturday.

Thanks for the info guys! I've been looking forward to getting to this place for a couple of months now but there is always SOMETHING that comes up on the weekend. I think I've had about 4 total flyers about this place and never know what I do with them.

I'm confused. Is this store the same location of AJ's card shop, where the late Jim Beck used to own ?

AJ's is located in Vienna, VA. The last I heard, AJ's was still in operation and owned by Beck's widow, but I haven't been by there in many months.

They are too separate stores. AJs remains where it's always been in the trailer in the Marco Polo parking lot. Last year Jim's widow sold it to Gary who now runs it.

Ron and Ken's store is a couple miles north of AJs on Elm St in McLean just off 123 a couple blocks. I was at the store today and they had lots of vintage cards, some pennants, a few jerseys and other assorted stuff.

Once again, thanks guys. I did make it there today and I love the place. I'm usually lucky to go into a shop and see maybe 10 vintage cards. I ended up picking up a few post war vintage for some player card runs and will definitely be going back. Great people at that place and I couldn't be happier.
