They sell trading cards from the '70s and '80s, still in the original wrappers, with the original (long stale) bubblegum.

don't go here. the staff are the least fun-loving people I've ever seen at an ice cream shoppe. Do they take themselves this seriously? They work at an ice cream shoppe, not the State Department.
