A great store that I used to go to was "Lake Worth World of Baseball Cards" in Lake Worth, Florida. The owner was a guy named Scott Winslow (if I remember correctly) and he was a nice guy who was great to deal with. I first went there in 1984 and I remember buying a 1958 Topps Willie Mays for $15. I bought probably $10k from him, and sold probably $10k to him over a three year span or so. He would have a television on watching baseball, so you could watch the game while you were perusing the inventory. I joined the Air Force in 1988, and when I came back to South Florida in 1995, the store was gone. Too bad, because it was a great place to hang out, talk baseball, and buy cards. He was a fairly young guy (30?) in 1984, so he might still be around dealing baseball cards somewhere...
