Thanks, in reality it's a blessing and a curse because this LCS is literally TWO MINUTES away from my front door. I have to drive by the shopping center it's in (also where we shop for groceries...) multiple times per week even if I have no business buying more baseball cards. As you might imagine, that's often a losing battle.
What's worse is as good as this shop is, there's an even better one 30 minutes away. This is what I get finally after complaining literally for a decade that the card shops were all gone. Oy.
I know what you mean about out of touch owners. Luckily my guy here is not that way. Things haven't been super cheap lately with the boom, but they are at least reasonable for a card shop and not having to pay shipping, and being able to walk out the door with whatever you want instead of waiting a week or 10 days for it to show in your mailbox.
