Road Trip: Dallas - Amarillo - Denver - Vail Recommendations?

[Rob355]

Next week doing a slow and casual road trip from Dallas to Vail going through Amarillo and Colorado Springs.

Not in the Dallas area, but otherwise looking for good sports card shops to check out. I'm mainly interested in high end vintage and 1980's.

Thanks!
