New York Card Shops?

[clipper]

hi guys,

does anybody know of any card shops in new york, more so in the city? I have a brother who is over there and want him to go and look for some cards on my want list.

most of the manhatten card shops are on the upper eastside from memory.. they aren't round midtown at all i dont think, there are also a couple in brooklyn i think.. just type sports cards or collectables into the google maps thing in NY

and most of them deal in baseball as you would expect.

If he has time you are better off to get him to go to a card show.

Need to check Beckett for the show schedules.

he is there just until sunday, so if I find something close enough to where his hotel is he might go, otherwise too much of an ask to go to brooklyn and get mugged for common cards!

what streets are his hotel on?

found a couple near his hotel:

Collectors Universe II
Alex's MVP Cards


he is staying at midtown hilton 1335 Avenue of the Americas, New York

so that's on 6th, one i went to which was quite small was north east of there, about 3 blocks east and 5-10 north.. mighta been alex's actually!

haha yep alex's is the one i went to!

not a very big shop, and not particularly card-oriented, but worth a look
ps shop-cards are not cheap compared to ebay, prepare to see high BV on the cards!

got another idea!

I'll order on beckett online shops and just get it delivered to his hotel!

brilliant!
