Default Baseball card shops

I havent been there in 5 years which means im about due,but Cooperstown had some card stores that were mainly old cards and you'd be able to find cards of some of the old players you just saw at the hall of fame.I remember one small store had a case of only vintage cards,prices were a little high but there were some nice cards there.

My local cards store,theres 3 within 5 miles of my house,think that cards from the 50s are vintage.The oldest thing ive seen in any of them is some strip cards which i bought.The one guy lists on ebay any old cards that might come in so they never even hit the display case.The ohter places rarely get anything from the 50s.I couldnt imagine not wanting at least a couple old cards,even if they are t206 commons just to put in a display.You could get 2 GD condition ones of ebay for $30,put it in the display for double the price,and either sell them and make a big profit or have people who come in because they havent seen one
