They have a small but good selection of prewar and some early Bowman/Topps issues. Also a lot of 1960s-70s Topps commons and minor stars that are great for TTM. And of course, plenty of shiny stuff. This is the store where I bought my first 1933 Goudey (Foxx) and my first 1949 Bowmans (Doerr and Mele).

Thanks, I didn't know about this one. I'll have to drive down there and check it out.

Here's one in Livingston NJ. The owner, Bob Beck, is a member of this forum:

He is quiet but friendly. He has a nice selection of vintage cards (including mostly 1950s-1970s, but does have some pre-war as well) + the new & shiny stuff (singles & wax), as well as autograph memorabilia and supplies, games, and other stuff.

I bought my first decent car in North Kingstown, RI while in the Navy in 1971. I was stationed in Quonset Point on the USS Wasp.

Love that place, huge selection of everything. One could get lost in that place...and come out broke.

Wow -- Bill is still around, that's great to hear! I went to the store a couple of times back in the day when at Beckett on show trips and it was a fun visit back then. Good to know, still a fun place to go to. Bill's also a real good guy!

And I've never been in this store, and don't suspect a ton of vintage but the owner and I talk all the time on FB -- and probably worth going to in the Denver Area. He does a ton of promotions and even runs occasional small shows for his customers to sell at within the store.

I briefly chatted with the person that is actually going to do this board update (hey Brian) and it is not too difficult. My guess is once back from the National we'll get this instituted not long after.
Thanks to everyone for posting current card shops so far.

+1 for Stevens Creek

I used to live in Denver years ago (1983-90) and went to Bill's a lot. I used to always go to a Mike's Sports Card shop in Denver, can't remember the address off hand. I wonder if this is the same guy and if he moved to Aurora. If so he is a great guy and I bought tons off him and even helped him in the store from time to time.

I used to go there back in the mid 1990s when I was stationed at Peterson AFB in Colorado Springs. I was absolutely blown away every time I walked in! I'd spend hours there, and always walked out having (happily) spent way more than I had intended going in!
