Beverly Hills Baseball Card shop is a nice place and has been around for about 20 years. Matt, the owner is a nice guy and a straight shooter. He really enjoys the vintage stuff and talking about it with collectors. You have to ask him about his vintage (pre WWII) stuff because it is often in the safe in the back. |

Went into BH Sports this summer while visiting Southern California. Was looking forward to browsing real vintage cards instead of eBay digital images. Matt wouldn't show me any vintage cards! I made my case that I was not just some ignorant dipstick off the street: I saw Mays play in the Polo Grounds; I have in my care a '33 Goudey Lah-ja-way, an M116 Joe Wood and even a Zeenut Prince Oana; I think the infield fly rule ought to be in the Constitution. I ain't no Commie. Besides, my pockets were loaded with cash. Still, no vintage cards. Talked story with the man for an hour. No cards. Hell of a way to do business. Koufax was a great pitcher and a great dog; Matt, though a personable guy, is hardly a great card seller. I wouldn't waste time on another visit to his shop. |

On Robertson. Matt is talkative, well informed, and has been doing this for many years. He is honest and straightforward. I don't know what the last guy did to piss him off, but the treatment he described seems really out of character. He generally has lots of stock and likes to do deals. Haven't had an issue with him in over 20 years of doing business. |

...that pre-war dealers keep prices above ebay prices in order to get the ocassional score, but will sell on ebay in order to pay the bills. That is why I have a hard time buying from dealers at shows and from their websites -- I don't want to be responsible for their score. |

I've always had great experiences at BHBCS. Matt will talk your ear off about anything sports-related (Dodgers, UCLA, etc.) and is always very helpful about finding what you are looking for--no matter how obscure. |
