Hello Guys, I'm looking for recommendations of sports card stores in New York city. Nephew on holiday and looking for stores to visit, he's staying on 8th Avenue.
Thank you.

Best place is on 3 Maiden Lane just off Broadway. Take the E train to the last stop. and it's a couple of blocks from there.

I went to 1 this summer that was a few blocks from Times Square. Not a huge sports selection but he had pretty much everything relevant at the time. Grabbed some immaculate baseball. Was definitely interesting getting buzzed into a random door and then going to the 2nd floor and 10 people were in there buying cards.

Probably Montasy Comics, which is at 39th and 5th. It's a comic store on the 2nd floor and you have to be buzzed in as mentioned, but they have a bunch of current boxes at reasonable prices. I just found it a few months ago after working in the area for years.

Chameleon Comics and Cards downtown. Stevie, Freddy and Vic are awesome.

This sounds right. I couldn’t remember the name of it and still can’t but this sounds right.
