Imagine trying to put together some of today's sets without them... or how about building "rainbows" or even super collecting a particular player.<br /><br />Between card shows, flea markets, and the internet... I probably don't spend 5% of my cardboard budget at card shops.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-91342402990981472022012-03-16T16:41:11.990-07:002012-03-16T16:41:11.990-07:00Back in the heyday of collecting there was 3 shops...Back in the heyday of collecting there was 3 shops in Calallen (which is a suburb of Corpus Christi) alone not even including the city. I don't think we even have one anymore but I'm not sure about that. With the internet and Ebay, I stopped going to card shops, but I remember always hitting all the shops and our big flea market every weekend. Last I recall Corpus had 1, but the selection was always pretty slim.Chris Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893312157097717796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-8854540003240224192012-03-16T07:22:01.013-07:002012-03-16T07:22:01.013-07:00Never understood how shops with rude owners stay i...Never understood how shops with rude owners stay in business. I worked at a shop when I was younger and the owner hired me specifically to deal with the younger customers. Guess my patience helped me get my teaching gig... although I'm sure some of my students would argue that I've lost it.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-19028346583293902252012-03-16T07:19:06.568-07:002012-03-16T07:19:06.568-07:00You are a dedicated collector sir.

The 2nd cad shop is more of a PokeMon type of shop but it does have a wall of commons. When I say wall I mean probably 50 monster boxes of cards. They are in no type of order at all. 88 topps mixed with 06 UD and everything in between. The owner is kind of a jerk though so between him and the PokeMon twerps I stay away.<br /><br />I feel Mooss and Captains pain though because until I moved to AZ I was 2 hours from a card shop.AdamEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107347958456472504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-72072193907257600192012-03-15T18:24:22.997-07:002012-03-15T18:24:22.997-07:000.
