Just moved to Tampa,FL
So I'm not new here (have over 200 feedback), but just moved to Tampa, FL from Virginia Beach, VA. I was wondering who all else lives in the Tampa area and if there are any local card shops or shows in the area. Thanks for the help!

PS - Is there a sticky on this site that lists where all users live? I know there are player/team collection ones but I think a location one would be beneficial as well. Thanks.Hidden Content - use the drop down box at the top left to view all my other albums

Hello Ryan and welcome to SCF. As for your local card shop question, it looks like you're in luck.

Welcome to Tampa, Ryan.
I also live in Tampa. There were a few card shops I used to go to but they closed. Not sure which ones from the link above are still around. There is a nice little card show at the Quality Inn in Lakeland (Exit 33 off of I-4) on the first Saturday of every month from 8 to 3. There is also a monthly show at one of the flea markets (maybe Big Top but I'm not sure).
This is a great place to be for Spring Training in March if you are into the games and autographs. Autographs have gotten much tougher over the past several years but some teams still sign decently.

Hey Mike thanks for the post. I did check the Show Calendar off Beckett's site and did see the show in Lakeland and the one at the Big Top Flea Market each month. I think it is next weekend actually, I plan on going to it probably on Saturday. How far of a drive is it to Lakeland? I also see they have a show in Orlando which I may try to attend and see how that goes.
As for card shops, there are a lot on that list. Sad that the ones you used to go to closed down. Do you know of any others in the area (within 30 minutes)? I am looking forward to spring training that's for sure. I know someone that works at the Yankees facility so I'm sure I will be there a lot which should be awesome. What other teams have spring training around here?
