From China With Love

[tomanycards96]

Well my Dad came back from China today and he went to a card store in Beijing and they didn't have any cards packs except 1 pack of Topps 09/10 Basketball so he bought it and I got a Randy Foye /2009 Gold Base

He was going to buy me a few good boxes but the guy at the store sold them all on eBay and had no more left in stock



Sooooooooooooooo.....................................................





HE BOUGHT ME THIS

Hi,mate

I know the only card shop in Beijing but it's not exactly around CBD.
It may take 15mins to get there from CBD by taxi.
I need to mention that the owner probably raises prices to foreigners.
Also I think the owner cannot speak english except the boxes' names lol.
You need find a way to communicate with him.
The shop has most recent boxes but rarely the ones before last year.
It opens from 11am to 5or6 pm 7 days a week.

I suggest you tell your dad how much the boxes cost and estimate the prices.

The address in Chinese :
北京市西城区鼓楼西大街甘露胡同1号

in english:
1 Ganlu Hutong, Gulou xi Ave.
Xicheng District,Beijing

I found a path on google map from Beijing International Hotel in CBD to the card shop.
You can print it and show it to driver.
It's in Chinese.

BTW,the card shop is really near the biggest pub court and traditional interests in Beijing which is named Hou Hai.
It's worth having a look.

Hope this would help you.
Wish your dad have a nice trip in Beijing.

Cheers,
Eddie

He also sent me some pics of the card shop

I totally agree, the man at the shop felt bad so he gave us the freebie pack because he didn't ahve any boxes in stock

While it doesn't compare to the bron bron, just making sure you got it!!!

[Tachu]

Oh they didnt have any boxes at that time?That's so wierd cuz they showed what they had in their forum and updated everyday.
sorry about that but I think it's better to get a LBJ auto than boxes full of craps.lol
