Dallas area card shops

[Rich Klein]

"Only one I know of is Nick's (a bit north of Dallas but not far) and you might call first. I heard he might have sold out. I am sure another board member *(maybe Rich K) knows more... If you have time to catch a lunch while in town shoot me a PM...."

Nick sold out about a year ago, the new owner is Dean and he loves old cards and is a bit of a collector himself. The store is doing very well with the new ownership.

Al, who owns Triple Cards is very funny in many ways.

I do recommend both stores heartily

Thanks guys, appreciate the tips. As for the lunch, not sure of our schedule, so I'll have refrain from any commitment, but will PM if I find down time. I will also be at the national in Chicago, so hopefully I will get to meet some fellow net54 members there.

Had to ask about card shops in town, can't leave any stone unturned in my Gibson search.

Marty.

Marty-
I live in Atlanta, but am in Dallas 3-4 times a year and there are a few places I love to hit when I'm there. Nick's card shop is one and another is Pie314 Pizza over in Carrollton.

Nick's used to have a nice selection of t206 and other tobacco cards, but they apparently sold a lot of those cards to one collector a couple years ago. Still a neat shop to go in and look around.

One of my best friends lives a few miles away in Carrollton and Pie314 is her pizza place of choice. I love it too - great low-key atmosphere and great pie!

@Brad -- same thing Leon and myself said to Marty. We'd love to have lunch with you when you come to town

2) Remember I have a monthly show in Plano not that far from Nick's. If you are in town when we have a show, come holler. Leon is usually set up at my shows
