Can anyone recommend a good card shop on Long Island? I will be in Hauppauge next week for work and can always use a good shop or two to stop in.

Thanks in advance,
Neal

    There's a few shops where I grew up in Merrick, NY - one on Merrick Road, but nothing too great. If anyone knows of a good shop, PLEASE tell!!
    I have twelve Sports Cards videos on youtube w/ over 75,000 views in total!! Vintage cards like 1951 Mantle, 33 Goudey Ruth, T206 Cobb, etc (copy and paste link below):

    Now that I think of it, Last Licks is a good store -- I think there's a few of them on LI -- look it up. It's ice cream and sports cards / collectibles. It's owned by Steiner sports who is a big guy in the sports collectibles industry...

    I believe Scott is the owner. Real nice guy. Store is known more for it's autograph material. You'll find tons of photos, posters, balls, etc. Does carry unopened and vintage cards, but hardly anything graded. Still worth a trip. If you go, let us know what you think.

    You're right...tons of autographs on just about everything imaginable, and Scott seems to love talking about anything sports related. If I had more time I could have spent hours looking through stacks of vintage. I did end up picking up some pretty sharp '77 Cloth Stickers.

    He really is a nice guy. He shifted the focus of his business from cards to autos a few years ago. Does have lots of cards, but they did to be off grade and unorganized. I;m sure he has some gems in those boxes and piles, but I don't have the time to sort through it. Glad your trip was worthwhile
