Sports Shops in Mississippi and Louisiana
 

I will be heading down to New Orleans next week and I was wondering if anyone knows of places to visit, especially sports memorabilia shops or antique shops...

Thanks
Travis

Travis,

Go to Bourbon street (I'm sure you've already got it in your plans), you may not find a baseball card shop or antique shop but you'll find a whole lot of other fun things. Just don't stray too many blocks from Canal street (unless you don't mind the company of the he/she crowd).

Enjoy, that's a fun place!

My wife's from there so I get down there a couple times a year.

There's a great antique mall on Magazine street. Neat area as well to poke around. In my experience, there are a bunch of antique shops etc. with some neat items but no card shops to speak of. I think you'll do better finding ancillary items like advertising and packaging, maybe a photo or some memorabilia rather than cards specifically. Watch out for repro Piedmont signs, etc. which I also see a bunch of when I go there.

Last time I was poking around in a shop and found a 1909 LSU yearbook. The guy wanted $200 for it but was a nice piece with a leather cover in good shape. Stuff like that. Good luck and let us know if you turn up anything.
