All:

Interesting stories from around the continent. There are 2 main stores in my area of Vermont that I frequent. Jim's Sports in the Burlington Mall (tons of jerseys, hats, posters, etc but gets some nicer older collections of cards from time to time. Being in a mall downtown is the only turnoff for me as parking is an issue sometimes.

The other store I frequent once a week or more is called Main Street Sportscards in Winooski Vermont. Very cool inventory of older to newer and all the new wax products you can imagine. Graded cards from the big 3 and everything in between to include autographs, figurines, and tons of other cool stuff. EVERY time I visit there is at least one or two people in there and sometimes many more. Owned by a younger guy who knows the hobby in and out and is friendly with his customers. I went today with my son and there were 5 or 6 folks there for the hour I was there.

Great small town cardshop. Sounds like they are a dying breed but not so in little old Vermont.

peace, mike
