T206 in Vegas?
 
I will be in the LV area later this month...
Can anyone recommend a shop with some T206?
:D


Thanks, Frank

I am guessing your odds might be better at the tables. :) Maybe someone will know of a hopeful T206 place though.....

My last time in Vegas all I saw was a sports memorabilia store in a big mall that is what you would expect....fakes, autos, game used ......yuck

And when you go to that store, you will likely see Pete Rose. He will be happy to take your money to write that he is sorry he bet on baseball on any item you choose

I was just going to mention Pete Rose
 
I've been to the shops under Caesar's Palace twice and both time, Rose was there, at a folding table out front of the shop, signing autographs for anyone willing to pay his price, while he had a small TV on the table next to him, watching ball games and spending a lot of time on his cell phone. Never saw anyone approach him to actually get an autograph.

Just kidding here but how about Pawn Stars

Been to Vegas 1 time and at that time I was an OTR and only went to the casino (1999) and I was not taking any chances driving through a town I did not have to drive in but that is just me side on the cautious

Pawn Stars had a T206 Wagner, but Chumlee destroyed it. :)

I live in Vegas and I'm sorry to report that I don't know of any shops that have a decent inventory T206 cards. The two best card shops that I know of are Legacy Sports cards on Sahara, about 7-10 minutes from the strip by cab and Ultimate Sports Cards located in downtown Las Vegas just a short walk from the Fremont St. experience. I don't think either has too many T206's but I would think if either do it would be Ultimate Sports cards. That's the shop that is on Pawn Stars. You could give them a call and see what they have and if it's worth a visit.

Ultimate Sports Cards
 
I was in Vegas in November and went to Ultimate Sports Cards for the first time. They have a small pile of raw T206's (maybe about 20) and I was able to pick up a Kleinow Boston Catching for $30 (raw, fair condition). It's worth a look, even if only to tell your collecting buddies who watch Pawn Stars that you've been to Jeremy's card shop.
