Dealers in the Toronto area

[The Big M]

I am off to Toronto and points east in Ontario for two weeks starting Friday. I'll be staying mostly in west-end Toronto (southern Etobicoke).
Which shops should I visit while I'm there? I should have a couple days of free time away from the family when I can do some serious buying.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Hey!

Have great time!

Also, I'll direct your attention to this thread: http://www.hobbyinsider.net/forum/showthread.php?t=68641

Very informative!

thanks, Brian.

On the unfortunate side, that thread seemed to follow a food theme...
I am originally from Toronto and am going back to visit family (I moved away 26 years ago!), but they are not carders so I need help with the card angle.

On the fortuante side, my bro lives about 5 minutes away by car from Queensway and Royal York - we grew up at the bottom of Royal York Road in Mimico... home of Brendan Shanahan and David Bolland... so the Queensway shop is a must.

As for some more info:

The store listings for Central Ontario!

As you are pretty much aware! Fastball is a good stop for a Chuckle & not to purchase anything!

Thanks for your help, Brian... I noticed on that last thread from CSC that the Queensway shop isn't even listed.

Any more suggestions from anyone out there??? I'm a set collector, so any dealers who have good selections of commons and inserts rather than the high-end product would be my type of place...

What about Bruno's on Lakeshore Blvd? That's a few minutes away by car as well.... or Action Cards (word out here is that they carry a lot of ITG product)?

Excellent suggestion, Wes! Another shop within minutes of my brother's place. I remember that mall from the 70's as I drove past it every day to get to school in Mississauga.
I'll definitely say hello if I can get there.
