Anyone know of a good local card shop near the Orlando Airport? I am here for one day and may as well check out some cardboard.

Thanks.

    Dave ... thanks for the LINK. Store does look like it has a lot of inventory.

    Click on the video on the store's website ... listen to the guy narrating ... do you think the store has "tons and tons of stuff" or does it have "a bunch of stuff"? LOL

    Thanks for the advice guys. Super nice owners who were very helpful. Mostly modern inventory at the store focusing on relic and autos. My two kids were fired up and wanted everything. I was looking for graded vintage which was not available. In the end I had a good experience and my kids were happy so I was happy.

    I had about 30 minutes of spare time before my flight and tried to find the store. I was rushed and it was rush hour so had to bail, but was I must have been right on it and didn't see it. Hopefully next time.

    The card shop is off OBT and there is a road Taft Vineland Road that can be taken to cut the travel time if coming from the airport area. It runs through OBT and right next to Sam's Club and the card shop is in the shopping center connected to it.

    If you get stuck in traffic on Sand Lake Road and then take a left on OBT it might take 30 minutes to go four or five miles.

    Spending a few minutes before a flight is to risky with the unpredictable Orlando traffic.

    They do have a few loose wrestling singles but most likely nothing in that genre that will interest you.

    Awesome. I see exactly where it's at. I was on the wrong side of OBT. Will swing by next time.

    The movie Monster is based on a story from a hooker on OBT. It has cleaned up some but as you get closer to downtown it gets much worse.

    I used to live in Orlando and that is the only 2 left that I know of, the other is in Casselbury . There were 4 card shops that I went to in Orlando and Kissimmee that have closed since 1999 .

    I found the place today. There were a good handful of employees here sorting or doing something. Was refreshing to see. I could have spent quite a bit more time here, but had to catch another flight. They had plenty of junk wax and all was decently priced. They did have a ton of singles for sure.
