Stores selling playing cards in Manhattan

Anyone know of any good ones? I'm going to look up a few magic shops like Tannen's, but any other good places would be appreciated!

Do you have Fantasma Magic on the list?

Hard to find some decent places unless you look in every nook and cranny. It's mainly an overwhelming amount of the kitschy "I <3 NY" shops.

Went to both Fantasma and Tannen's, nice places albeit quite hard to find for an out-of-towner. Picked up a few odds and ends, like a pair of Banshees which I hadn't gotten around to getting yet. Not much else to find for a hardcore collector, got a free red Luxury Crown brick box at Tannen's and the guy at Fantasma (very nice dude, more entertaining to hang out with than the boring guy at Tannen's lol) had some Tally Ho Split Spades for $20 he claimed to have bought off of DB himself.

Overall not too bad, but I was expecting more from the Big Apple.

Yeah not much here which is a downer. Theres actually a very small shop downtown in the basement of a halloween store. But fantasma is my favorite. They had such a bigger store a few years back, not sure why they moved. The houdini museum is pretty awesome though.

Maybe we someone could start a thread or section for posting stores that sell playing cards, other than retail, so that everyone, new and old know where they can purchase decks.
