I totally get it Joshua. My original card shop was also cards and comics (hence the "laugh icon"). Obviously, comic books take up more space than cards. I sure wish that original store was still around. They were great. But they moved to the beach when I was about 15 (mid-90's) and the other local card store sucked (and closed around 2000).

That wall is mostly comics. The owner behind the counter took the photo where the cards are displayed and all the packs and boxes are stored. It's called Odyssey Comics and Cards.

Looks more like a comic book shop to me!

Sorry, but I don't know of anything up in the northern suburbs of Houston. You'd think as big as we are there'd be a few more, but it is a dying breed.

It's been awhile since I've done an in-person trade, but I met with jc645 (Julio) for an exchange.

He's got some great stories about life in Miami as a sports fan, but we didn't get to talk much about his OU football (his hat is hidden from my phone camera's sight).

Nice! I hope to make it out to Katy/Houston at some point. I know the Tristar show is around February at the NRG arena - shooting for that at least...
