Is Anyone From Eau Claire, WI In Here?

I'm heading up for a graduation party in EC tonight, and was curious if there were any good shops in town? I found MVP Sports Cards online... any others?

Heh, I've been to the Leinie's Lodge many times. Love that place.

That would be me!

There is nothing in Eau Claire. There is a little place up in Downtown Chippewa Falls, Sportscards Plus, I think it's called (it comes up at Topps' website when you search for HTA shops! Use Eau Claire zip 54701 to search) It's kind of a little messy, dumpy place, but Rich (the guy who runs it) is a nice enough cherub of a fellow. The MVP place you found doesn't exist anymore--if it's the place that I know/knew. A guy who is a locksmith by trade had it simultaneously in his storefront. He has long since moved out of that location, does his locksmith trade on the move, and doesn't do cards anymore. If it's a new place, well, I'll have to check it out for myself!

My wife and I are going to see our local theater company perform White Christmas tonight, so I won't be available to meet and greet.
Still going to the show at Earle Brown this weekend?

Thanks for the heads up - you probably saved me an hour of driving around looking for a place that isn't there!

Yep, I'll be at Earle Browne tomorrow - probably bright and early in my Hawkeye hat, feeling like crap after a hard night on the town tonight. I'm getting too old for this.

Is the party at a house, restaurant or is it on Water Street? (Up and down Water Street, that is.)
