Retail Baseball Cards in Canada

[BrianV]

Hi all.

I am somewhat new into sports card collecting. When I was young (in the early '90s), I had a collection of hockey cards, but lost interest along the way, and my parents threw it out when I moved.

Fast forward 20+ years, and I bought a $10 Topps Series 1 hangar pack at a Walmart in the US when I was visiting. I cracked it open when I got home, and... I feel a bit hooked. The 'hits' in the box are only worth about $10 (what I paid), but the thrill of the chase... Plus, I am interest in collecting the Blue Jays players out of the set. Best hit of the hangar box is a Gold Stephen Moya /2015 RC (similar to http://www.comc.com/Cards/Baseball/2...n_Moya/9850950).

So... where can I buy baseball cards in Canada? None of the major retailers seem to carry them. Walmart here only has hockey cards, which I am somewhat less interested in (we'll see what the season brings). There is a hobby store in town about 25 minutes away, but their hours are somewhat inconvenient - 7-9pm weeknights (unless they decide not to open), and a few hours on Saturday morning.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Nowhere really, I live near Michigan though, so it's not a problem for me

Is there any Meijer in Canada? Try them if so & GL.

Hah, I live pretty close to the NY State border. Back when the dollar was doing better, I used to go across a few times per month for groceries, gas, cheap Walmart goods etc...

Now that the dollar is so bad, there's not much reason to go over... except for cards!
