Card shops near Nashville?

eyebone

I am going to be visiting my sister-in-law (not my choice....my wife is making me do it) in a couple of weeks. She lives in Thompsons Station, TN, a small place just south of Nashville. It is between Nashville and Columbia actually.

Does anybody know if there are any cards shops worth visting in the area? I will have some time to kill, so I don't mind driving a ways.

Also, I see that there is a regular mall show in nearby Murfreesboro (it looks to be about 25 miles from where I wiil be). It is always advertised in the Beckett show listings....is it worth a visit?

Thanks in advance to anybody who takes the time to respond.

The next show in Murfreesboro is this coming Saturday. Its actually at the Ramada Inn on Church street just off of I-24 exit 81. The next show is the 19th I beleive. Usually 30 or 40 tables with the usual selections. One dealer comes from Louisville with nothing but wax and a couple of guys selling vintage. Also one guy who has a lot of autographed cards. The rest are selling newer stuff. Show starts at 9:00 and ends around 3:00. Worth checking out if your in the area. Kurt

Mr300bowl,

I live in Franklin and every year or so I get the itch and drive over to Murfreesboro. I mean no disrespect for the dealers and customers of this show, but I never seem to find anything to buy. My area of interest is pre 1990s football. The cards I do find are for the most part never better than EX and are overpriced. This probably describes most local shows across the country though... Am I just unlucky when I do attend or would you say it's always like that? I usually purchase a box of some new wax from the KY guy that is old friend and drive home muttering to myself about eBay killing the local show / store.
