Thankfully for the Vinyl Music Vault, nothing that I write will stop a music lover from stopping in, if they're visiting Oneonta - that's just the nature of loving music stores, you always need to see for yourself. The owner is straight out of central casting...assuming your making a movie about an out of touch record store owner from a bygone era. Talking non-stop nonsense about how much each of his records is worth...and if you don't buy it RIGHT NOW, it's going to cost you $100 in just a few months. That literally came out of his mouth a few times. It was amusing to overhear but after a few minutes it became a tired routine. As for prices. His vinyl was a little higher than what I would expect on a few things that I looked out. Nothing too crazy but I didn't spot any deals. His CD prices were bizarre. Someone needs to break it to him about Napster, MP3s and everything that's happened in the last 20 years. $15 for used CD's that can be found at any Goodwill for $1 is just dumb. If you're within a 10 minute drive - Go. But temper your expectations.

The atmosphere is welcoming, the music sets the tone perfectly, and you can tell right away that there's real passion behind everything they do. What really stood out to me was the selection. Whether you're digging through records or checking out everything else they have to offer, there's a unique mix you don't just find anywhere. It's clear that a lot of care goes into curating what's on the shelves, and it makes browsing actually fun instead of overwhelming. The customer service is another level too. You're not just another person walking through the door--they take the time to talk, recommend things, and make you feel comfortable. That kind of energy is hard to come by these days.

When Wifey surprised me with a Cooperstown trip I knew it was going to be an amazing weekend and…read morethere really ain't much about the trip I wouldn't give five stars...including Mickey's Place. I knew the shopping in Cooperstown wasn't going to bring many, if any, bargains so I was just hoping to find some cool stuff. I spent a LONG time in Mickey's, but walked out with just a single item...a new Brooklyn Dodgers cap. They had a great selection of clothing, caps and memorabilia, but the hat was all that came home with me. I'll be back someday...

So, I was a little hesitant to order from Mickey's place because of their posted return/exchange…read morepolicy. I received one of the Mets '62 heritage series hats which was a little small and came with a soft brim instead of the firmer brim I was familiar on New Era hats. Clyde responded to my email the very next day and explained that older versions of these hats had softer brims. He then located the next size up in the newer version with the firmer brim and waived the shipping to send it back out to me. I also picked up one of the NY Giants Heritage hats. These are 50% wool and 50% polyester and shrink up nicely after a bit of wear. I definitely prefer these to any of the 100% polyester on field hats from New Era. They are hands down, the best fitting hats I own. And Mickey's Place has, like, all of them. While I have historically ordered from the Hall of Fame store (which also has excellent customer service), the selection at Mickey's Place is excellent. I would definitely recommend shopping here! Looking forward to visiting in person this summer and snagging one of the Brooklyn Dodgers heritage caps.

This was good for me since I had a long flight and could not take the bats on the plane. They are very reasonably priced. They have many different varieties. It really is an excellent gift and souvenir item. You can put the Cooperstown Hall of Fame logo on the bat as well as three lines of customization. A really wonderful gift idea and memento from your trip to Cooperstown, New York. Service was friendly and helpful.

I've seen breadsticks at Olive Garden with more structural integrity. I sneezed near it and it cracked. I'm not saying it was made of recycled Popsicle sticks, but I am saying it had "fragile ego" energy. And the community support? You'd think a shop with "Cooperstown" in its name would care more about, I don't know... Cooperstown. But nope! They're about as supportive as a wet paper towel in a hurricane. Save yourself the disappointment. Go elsewhere unless you're in the market for an expensive souvenir that doubles as kindling.

Let's be honest, most of downtown Cooperstown, NY is a gigantic tourist trap. It's very much like…read morethe town of Niagara Falls. They have a captive audience of bus tours and summer tourists that are visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame, and so the streets are lined with baseball-themed cafés, gift shops, and the usual touristy stuff. They do have some cool local farmers' markets on the weekends, but most everything else is focused on the baseball fans. Guilty as charged... my best friend is a huge New York Yankees fan, and he asked me to bring him back "something" from Cooperstown. As my Dad and I were walking back towards our car we spotted the Where It All Began Bat Company along Main Street. I looked through the front windows and saw displays of full-sized and miniature baseball bats that had been painted and personalized for the various Major League Baseball teams. I went into the shop and looked over the full-sized Rawlings and Louisville Slugger souvenir baseball bats all of which can be personalized by their on-site laser engraver with up to three lines of text. They also have miniature bats, whether bearing a MLB logo or a Cooperstown-themed logo, and those can be painted and also personalized. I got my friend an 18" miniature baseball bat, painted Yankees blue, and engraved with his name and the MLB logo. They were able to show me samples of finished bats so that I'd know what to expect. I was able to pay for the bat, the engraving, and the shipping down to South Florida, which meant one less thing to lug around in my luggage! Glen got the bat within a week, and he was thrilled with this unique gift and conversation starter. His wife has informed me that he hung up over his desk at home, and that she occasionally catches him standing in front of a mirror taking practice swings. Classy gift.....SCORE!!!

I walked by the store couple of times and he is still in the same poistion.

The female working the register asked if my son was 21 and I replied no, but he wasn't buying anything anyway. From that point on she was more concerned with him than helping me. Is it against the law for someone under 21 to be in a cigar shop with a parent? If so, then I know a bunch of people who have broken the law all across the country. Should have left without buying anything, but the next closest cigar shop is quite a ways away. Bad experience from a customer service point of view. The cigars we got were pretty good however.
