I was wondering if anyone knew of any good card shops in the Chicago metro area, western suburbs in particular. All the shops I went to as a kid are now gone .
Chicago Cards AKA Galaxy Stores (chicagocards.com) in Naperville on Naper Blvd (just north of 75th St.). I think Triple Crown Trading Co. in Naperville is still open (althought I'm not sure as I haven't been there in a while). It is on W. Fifth Ave. behind Naperville North H.S.
Not sure what you're looking for - Galaxy has good selection of modern boxes, etc.
I am more interested in purchaseing individual raw cards. I like buying them at a store or a show because you really don't know what you are getting when you buy off the net.
Dean's Dugout in NAPERVILLE is ok...only been there a couple of times...but they have been around for a while. Dean used to photograph Bears Games in 80s. They are friendly and have given me good deals on large purchases.

I collect Seattle Pilots autographs, 1969 Topps autographs, Signed Mickey Mantle Home Run History cards and have a JC Martin collection (he was my college Baseball coach) Doug
