Same here, I opened a full time shop in early 1987 & closed when someone offered to buy all the contents in late '98
I then sold the property & moved w/ the wife & kids 150 miles away to our current location
& have been selling online ever since

Here's a shot of the counter in '88
w/ auth uniforms of Nolan Ryan (Rainbow), Dave Winfield (Padres), Rod Carew, Fergie Jenkins etc..
