AAA is probably going to be hit or miss for vintage. I finally went to this shop a year or so ago, and was surprised at how tiny it was. The owner told me he had just sold like 90% of his vintage showcase a few days earlier in one transaction. Whoops.

AAA is a cute little shop and great for lower dollar modern. However new management took it over 2 years ago. I went in asking for pre war and the owner told me he has 2 guys who get first crack at any pre war he gets and it typically doesn't get to the display cases.
Charlotte Sport Collectibles has great vintage but its all PSA 7's or higher. The owner is very proud of his stuff and the store focuses more on autographs. He has a case of graded signed baseballs. In the 3 years I visited I honestly don't think he sold one graded signed baseball.
For me in the Charlotte area, I'll only go to the big charlotte shows. Most of the promoters have large 400+ table shows each weekend. But 250 tables are pokemon and abother 140 tables are modern. However there are a few decent vintage dealers in the area who set up at shows fairly frequently.
