Every time I'm in Canada, I am amaze...Captain,<br /><br />Every time I'm in Canada, I am amazed at how far you have to drive to get anywhere, unless you live directly in a decent-sized city.<br /><br />I used to live in a very rural county that was very much like Canada in this respect. You drove 45 minutes to get to the mall and 30 minutes to get to the grocery store, and an hour to find a Taco Bell, and nobody thought anything of it. Well, nobody except for me, who was used to living in a city and wondering who these fools were who chose to live somewhere where they had to drive 40 minutes to get to a hospital.<br /><br />If you ever decide to join us in the U.S., I promise you'll like it.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-62494361695002801562012-08-14T22:29:41.474-04:002012-08-14T22:29:41.474-04:00Makes me feel lucky to have a good card shop 10 mi...Makes me feel lucky to have a good card shop 10 minutes from my house. They have a great selection of new stuff( not my interest , but a lot of it) plenty of autos and an ever changing array of singles and bargains sure to please almost any collector I have read on here. i hope you guys have better luck...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14578714928451586593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-69192124153688631852012-08-14T22:04:37.430-04:002012-08-14T22:04:37.430-04:00I really have to move and live in the U.S. before ...I really have to move and live in the U.S. before I die. How convenient everything is for you guys.<br />I read many blogs that say, "I don't go to so and so because it's 30 minutes away"....<br />What is it like to live in a bubble? Where you are born, grow up, and die, all within 3 blocks?<br /><br />I must be missing out on something.<br />It's a 25 minute drive to the nearest Safeway.(grocery store)<br />It's a 50-55 minnute drive to work. (In the same city)<br />There are two card stores I frequent... one is a 35 minute drive, the other is an hour away. (again, same city)<br />This is nothing. We don't think anything of it, it's just the way it is.<br /><br />The differences between Canadian and U.S. living never ceases to amaze me. We are so similar, and yet so different.Captain Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189853561737282234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-77132389160166479712012-08-14T21:51:30.466-04:002012-08-14T21:51:30.466-04:00Depressing tale, my friend.

Our place in Indiana ...I've been there before. Our place in Indiana was like your place with just the 2012 Topps (only my guy was only selling random terrible singles and vintage complete sets (and when I say vintage I mean the less valuable 70's and stuff like 1986 Topps, all overpriced and all of no interest to me).<br /><br />So one day my brother and I drove out to a card shop. It was like 35 minutes away...and we get there...and it's a mall? So we walk all over looking for the store and can't find it. And then we realize the kiosk next to the DQ is IT. Some guy selling some pennants and a few fake jerseys and a couple boxes of some basketball product. So deflating.<br /><br />But hey, there was an Adidas store nearby and my brother bought a cool hat. So at least it wasn't a total waste!SpastikMoosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13374559066158419166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-83368259306959506532012-08-14T20:04:02.004-04:002012-08-14T20:04:02.004-04:00Hey, maybe I could give you an even better trade f...Hey, maybe I could give you an even better trade for that card.
