T206s in NYC/Long Island/Brooklyn

[wazoo]

We've had a similar thread, but I was wondering if there are any card shops or antique stores that have t206 cards for sale! Thank you very much.

Hi Waz,

For T206 here on LI, the few card/collectible shops have exorbitant prices. You would do better at ebay and auction houses., but more so with private transactions. Antique stores, if they have any, which is rare, it's the same thing. Outside of T206 it's better to pound the pavement and look for obscure cabinets and postcards, etc., but even that is picked pretty clean

Nothing in Manhattan that I've seen. Not sure about the outer boroughs.

True true! But just for the experience, I want to go to shops anyways.

Added Brooklyn to the list.

I used to be a regular at Baseball Card Collectors Exchange in Hicksville. Rob had some good stuff including the Gretzky Honus lol. Unfortunately, he closed up shop years ago

Yeah, it's a Wasteland out here unless you like Beanie Babies and Yu-Gi-Oh!Ask for "old paper" and you get yesterday's edition of Newsday.

Me too! Great place, Bob (and Marty in the early days) had lots of droolworthy items. The 53 Topps uncut find, the Gretzky Wagner, all sorts of goodies went through there. Bob and his wife moved to Arizona some time in the 1990's and are both now deceased unfortunately.
