Year after year, the same cards sit in his glass cases. I don't understand this at all. He won't list them on ebay because he doesnt want to 'give them away'. If he ever has trouble paying the rent, maybe he'll reconsider the price tags. acrackedbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056658025780679689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441850430909601005.post-53363933509364241022018-10-04T10:06:25.617-07:002018-10-04T10:06:25.617-07:00Unfortunately some people are still stuck in the w...Unfortunately some people are still stuck in the way things used to be.

Most of the ones that have gone it was most likely increased rent and leasing costs and big named anchor stores going out of business. Don't get me wrong there are still plenty of malls just not as many as there were 30some years ago. A small part of it is also due to so many of the malls having the same stores or being more upper scale storesCaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441850430909601005.post-27699352637543251912018-10-03T19:22:03.940-07:002018-10-03T19:22:03.940-07:00GOOD DEALGOOD DEALJohnnys Trading Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202597965281782849noreply@blogger.com
