the card shop i use has huge magic tourneys and magic nights every Friday. they just pack the little dorks in..... don't get it myself but to each their own.
The selection of card shops have sure slimmed down, that is a given. Ive even been contacted by a couple local guys looking to sell boxes out of their homes instead of a shop.

Back in the 1980s, I was growing up in a village in Upstate New York. Our only "card shop" at the time *was* a guy selling out of his garage when he wasn't doing his "regular" job. The nearest card shop was in Watertown, 18 miles away and too far to pedal a bike at my age.

I don't think we'll get back to the late 80's early 90's. Around here though it looks like card shops are maing a bit of a comeback. There was one survivor, who does the shop, and uses the internet very well, offloading dead inventory quickly before it becomes unsaleble locally. Like when a player gets traded or leaves.
And a new shop just opened last week, a show dealer that decided to open. Steve B |
