They were a dying breed in the early 90s when I got out. Sacramento's last vintage shop started carrying shiny crap to be able to pay the bills. It's tough to keep a vintage store open beucase our buying habit are pretty selective and we generally don't, make impulse buys. The impulse buying of random unopened packs is the bread and butter of stores. When I had my gaming and comic store, it these impulse buys of packs and boxes of MAgic:The Gathering and other cards that made up most of our business, not the sale of expensive, Silver Age comics of the X-Men and Spider-Man.

I like to sit outside drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.
