I am up in the area visiting family and wanted to go to a few local card shops in my free time for those that know of any. I am in Salisbury actually, so Winston/Greensboro/Statesville wouldn't be a stretch either. Thanks for the help!

<< <i>Fleming Candy in Salisbury. Unopened boxes/packs galore. Mostly 90's (all sports) to present. Some 80's too. It's my secret spot for my unopened fix. Just don't tell anyone else here ok? >>
Thanks for the help, I will have to catch the Matthews shop. I remember Fleming quite fondly, I drove by there yesterday just to see if it was still around. Unfortunately it was closed so I will try again tomorrow. My favorite in the area was in Kannapolis, it was in a strip mall and right beside a furniture store or Rent-A-Center if I recall.

On second thought it might be a little late in the season in that area for the colorful leaves.

It's actually THE TIME for leaves here right now. I haven't been to Bill's shop but I've dealt with him at shows. He bought and traded with me more than anyone else. Super nice older gentleman with a lot of vintage stuff. I bought some nice raw '33 Goudeys and '51 Bowmans out of his bins.
Good to know. We normally go to Asheville and then Gatlinburg every year in mid to late October.
It's always tricky to know when peak season will be each year.

I was able to visit AAA on my trip and it was a great shop, thanks for pointing it out! Interestingly enough, an older gentleman stopped in with an autographed baseball from the late 30's he was looking to get an opinion on. Of course, who other than Babe Ruth was one of the signatures. It was interesting to hear the provenance, and everything added up. The ball itself had the correct red/blue stitching, but had quite a bit of toning. While it still remains to be seen if it is indeed authentic, I am sure I may never handle another Babe Ruth baseball again.
