I'm in Connecticut, so I don't have any information about stores in that area, but generally trading at stores is acceptable as long as it's cards for cards.  Buying and selling at card stores is usually frowned upon.  Also, since we use proxies over here, and because vintage is rather unpopular, it's fairly unusual to find power at a local gaming store.  I should probably mention that out of all 50 states, Texas is the most "gun friendly". Expect everyone you talk with to have a gun. I'm sure you'll be fine, just be aware of where you meet people and don't put yourself in a dangerous situation with a lot of cash/cards. If money is going to trade hands at a card store it's commonplace to do it outside in the parking lot our out on the street, not inside the store. Just don't go down any dark alleys and you should be fine.

I really hope you enjoy your time over here. Let us know what you fine, Scott.

I thought this thread would be a discussion of the 1988 Classic Eddie Murphy film. Given my lofty expectations this thread is a serious disappointment.

South Carolina is a moderate drive to Atlanta (from Greenville, Clemson, Spartenburg 2 hours) there you will find some decent MTG. We attempt to do vintage every other Sunday at 5pm.
