I frequent the closest shop most often because it's closest, but I think the second shop is probably the best one.Jeremyhttp://forwhomthecardstoll.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-75780594137681408582011-09-13T10:08:13.962-04:002011-09-13T10:08:13.962-04:00I don't really have an LCS anymore.

The closest thing to it are some shops that really focus on Magic and comics and might have the odd hockey box if I'm lucky. <br /><br />As a vintage collector, though, there are really only two Toronto shops left of any significance. One is right downtown and the other is in the north end. Between the two of them, I might go five to six times a year. Did find one place with old OPC baseball, but I've sort of maxed him out already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-88207124541197566192011-09-12T15:27:02.160-04:002011-09-12T15:27:02.160-04:00Wow, that's insane ;)Wow, that's insane ;)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485984791258722017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-21464084657453365202011-09-12T15:15:17.693-04:002011-09-12T15:15:17.693-04:00My nearest sportscards shop is a $700 plane ticket...My nearest sportscards shop is a $700 plane ticket away, and then another $700 to get back home.

Maybe 8 minutes of there is snow on the ground. <br /><br />The other card shop I frequent is about a 20-25 minute drive, but happens to be near a used bookstore my girlfriend likes, as well as by a movie theater and restaurant we both like, so when we go that way it is to stop at a lot of places (and not just a trip for me).Salhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062573971073651593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-73242904960655423742011-09-12T12:15:08.548-04:002011-09-12T12:15:08.548-04:00My LCS is about 10-15 minutes from me, and there&#...My LCS is about 10-15 minutes from me, and there's another shop that specializes in vintage that's about 30 minutes away.<br /><br />But of course, eBay is the closest shop to me.Greg Zakwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064188830164937436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-12618839412373067212011-09-12T11:51:56.549-04:002011-09-12T11:51:56.549-04:00my local card shop here in Calgary is a 50-65 minu...my local card shop here in Calgary is a 50-65 minute drive away depending on traffic.Captain Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189853561737282234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-31509535050753304982011-09-12T11:18:27.921-04:002011-09-12T11:18:27.921-04:00I think 15-20 minutes is probably the perfect dist...I think 15-20 minutes is probably the perfect distance.

About a year and a half ago though a new one opened up that's much better, and only about a 15-min ride from home. It's the only one I go to now. About 99% of my card budget goes to either this shop or eBay.shoeboxlegendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642879419337014960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-50934639072607972682011-09-12T10:34:07.672-04:002011-09-12T10:34:07.672-04:00I always love popping into a new store.

So many, in fact, that I've just about purchased all of his good vintage hockey stock. I mainly go there to talk hockey and maybe buy a few packs.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08437255105350726919noreply@blogger.com
