Baseball Card Stores are a dying breed and will be extinct soon.
With that said, there are only a couple that I know of... Id call first to even see if they sell what your interested in (and to get the exact address). Many now only sell new stuff and nonsports garbage. The only time I ever go to one now is for a quick fix on supplies (ie. top loaders, penny sleaves).
I live in the North Bay and for every 10 shops there used to be in the late 80s, there may only be one now. Internet killed the Card Shop.....
I Buy/Sell/Trade (PreWar 1880-1940) on the Internet only nowadays, No more shop or shows for me.
here are some I know of........
North Bay
"Bay Area Cards" 3rd St. San Rafael
"Diamond Sports Cards" 4th St. San Rafael
(I used to go to one of these in the late 80s-90s, havent been there in many years).
SF
"Cards and Comics Central" Geary Blvd. SF
East Bay
"Diamond Sports Cards" Diamond Way, Concord
Try searches on the Internet, you will find others.
