596.0. "Help Needed on Football cards??" by MR4DEC::DSHAW () Fri Oct 15 1993 19:26

    	I am interested in starting to collect Football
        cards.  I have bought several packs and can see quite
        a difference from the BB cards I bought as a kid.
    
    	I have tried 2 stores in the framingham/southboro
        area and they both stock very litle in the way of
    	Football, other than random single packs.
    
    	I am interested in buying some sets, and recently
        moved to Waltham (though work in MRO).  If someone
    	knows of a reputable card dealer nearly, who is heavily into
        stocking Football cards, please pass along the info.
    
    	Also, any info on getting the lowest price in general
    	through Mail order?  or other means would be appreciated.

    Hudmar's in downtown Marlboro has lots of sets.
    
    Don't remember if he carries much Football, but give him a try.
    
    Football is not real big in N.E.

    Agree with Denny.  Also try Center Sports Cards in Billerica.  They
    have lots of football and are reasonable.  You might also think about
    going to the Shriners show in Nov.(see other notes this conference)
    Football stuff is usually burned at the stake (dealer talk for sell it
    for any price, just don't take it home).

    Try Cumberland Farm - no kidding - in Concord at least.  These guys are
    selling sealed boxes of 91, 92, and some (Skybox Impact) 93 football
    and hockey cards at REDUCED prices.  For instance, 92 Gameday at 40%
    off what I've seen in the local (Westford) shop....
