[QUOTE="RabidRick, post: 2007130, member: 37868"]There's one here in Oakland right near the 19th St. BART that's very good as far as prices but not a lot of inventory. Same with Trader Sam in SF. Witter coins is probably the best coin store in SF -- very reasonable prces, he's nice, knowlegble and has a great inventory of both US and anceints. The ancents are rather pricey, though. The SF Gold Buyer on West Portal Ave. has no idea what ancients are worth so you can either get a great deal or they rip you off. So, if you know what it's worth, you have the cards XD I would avoid going through Robert Johnson, especially to sell. Also, there was a place by SFSU that was WAY overpriced. I forget the name. And the one in Walnut Creek by the BART is terrible, too. The guy is rude and rips people off. I don't think he liked me from the getgo however, probably because I'm knowledgable and I know prices pretty well. He'd rather people he can rip off. I mostly buy online though, except for my albums I have at home. Most of the good stuff I collect is too rare and obscure to find in a store.[/QUOTE]
