Default LCS in Chicago-Milwaukee-Minneapolis

Hey guys,

We'll be visiting Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis from 14/03 for around 10 days.

Several great NBA games on our program

Any card shops worth visiting? We're particularly fond of cards and memorabilia from the 90s.

We're thinking of stopping by the Rosemont show.

Cheers, and thank you for your help
Vincent

The Rosemont Show is worth visiting since it's one of the bigger shows you can attend in the Midwest. 3 day event with lots of athletes to meet. I'll probably be there as well. Bring cards to trade/sell if you're looking for 90s stuff. Still have the rack pack refractor? I used to own a Big Dog with peel PSA 8

Three Stars has a couple shops in the Minneapolis area.

Real Sports Cards has been breaker of the year a couple times. They’re north of Minneapolis.

Two Bros is in a dingy mall not far from Real. They pulled the Cole Caulfield “super” OPC platinum.

Travelling economy, so not many cards with me I'm afraid.

Def. going to the Rosemont Show, Friday or Saturday is the question now.

And yes I still have the Rack Pack Refractor, one of my favorite cards in the PC for sure

Definitely hit the big show in Rosemont 3/15-17

Best card shop in the Chicago area is Heroes in North Riverside

I know there’s a couple top notch shops in Milwaukee that someone else can speak to
