Baseball card shops in Somerville/Cambridge

[craigindaville.livejournal.com]

After returning from the homestead for the holidays, I've finally grabbed most of my baseball card collection from oblivion in my mom's basement. I'm looking to repackage them in new cardboard cardholders (the long ones that hold several hundred at a time) and then taking my time going through them.

I asked the googles about local card shops, and one came up in Union Square, Major League Sports Cards, with an address of 11 Union Square. After about 15 minutes of aimlessly wandering around the square and not finding any address like that, I gave up. When I got home, the number listed through google (no website listed) was for some Canadian bond company, so... I'm thinking they don't exist.

Nothing else seems to be coming up nearby, but I also know that a lot of the smaller places probably live without a web presence. So, I thought I'd throw it to the crowd and see if anyone knows of a local place that sells sports cards and their storage accessories? I'd rather not have to shlep them from downtown Boston if I can help it, but that is always an option.

Thanks in advance!

The game shop in Meadow Glen Mall will be able to supply you with the goods. It is about a mile walk from Davis

would Your Move Games have the right size holders? (likely intended for other kinds of collectible cards)

While I don't know about that business, I think the numbered Union Square street addreses start on Somerville Avenue on the block west of the square, and increase going east through the center of the square. Online maps have trouble with those addresses.

Semi-related, anyone know if any of these shops carry those plastic display boxes for cereal boxes? I just got a second commemorative box for Christmas and not 10 minutes ago was thinking maybe I should do something better with them.

(I know I can probably find more info on this myself by googling, but hey, I JUST thought of it and then saw this post, so why not ask here, too!)

There's Card Dog down in the Fresh Pond area of Cambridge: 489 Concord Avenue, (617) 868-1990. I haven't gone in, just driven by. Google says it's about a 15 minute walk from Alewife Station.

Thanks all! I think I'll be hitting up Card Dog, and I appreciate the suggestions!
