Unfortunately, most of the quality shop owners in Washington have gone out of business in the past 5 years. There aren't many left in the state; for example, there is no true LCS in Seattle proper. DJs Sportscards in Renton is the only one I will still give my business to because Don is the only shop owner that I've encountered that still respects his customers. There are a couple others that treat people right such as Dugan's in Olympia and Who's On First in Marysville but I don't get in them often. Usually I wait until I visit Portland and get the chance to go to my former employer Hoopla Sports Cards.

I go to who's on first. The owner has fair prices and I live in oak harbor, he always holds boxes for me.

Everyone seems to agree that DJ's is the spot to check out, so I'll have to check them out. When I get the chance, I will slide down to Portland, lol.

My dad was stationed there for 2 tours back to back. for me it was 3rd grade to freshman year. I loved it. Big cities within decent drive times. smallish town feeling. I remember before they even had a walmart and it was a big deal when it went from k mart to SUPer K. lol

All- Thanks for the advice. DJ's has been the best location I've checked out so far. He has a lot of stuff and seems to be a very good person.
