The pain of looking for vintage while traveling

Posted By: J Levine

Reno...hotbed of card activity...

About 7 years ago I stopped in Reno for a night...I spent the next morning going to two card shops...I did the same thing James did, I asked for any vintage and any oddball Phillies....the guy goes in back and pulls out a t204, 5 beater t206s, and a handful of strip cards. Bought them all for $75. I asked the guy if anybody else in town had vintage and he directed me to a pawn shop across the street from my hotel. Drove back over there and found buried in a case 11 obaks and a handful of playballs...talked the shop owner down to $65 and was very happy with my side trip to reno.

I always wanted to go back there and search again but have not been to northern nevada since.
