Marty, we gotta get you back...to the 70s! (And early 80s)

Looking for a US brick-and-mortar store that stocks actual, wood/plywood, 4'x8' wall paneling. You know, the kind with the grooves.

Actual 1/4" wood paneling that was popular in the 70s/early 80s (in the northeast, in EVERYONE'S finished basement/rumpus room).I'm NOT looking for printed paper over hardboard. Also not looking for pressed hardboard. (Menards, Lowes and HomeDepot dont carry it, yes, even Menards)

I'll take anywhere in the US, but preferably east of the Mississippi River.

The winner actually stocks it. Somewhere I can go in and actually touch a piece. and walk out with 20 sheets.

I can find a bazillion online places that claim to have the stuff, but will deliver only.

I cant find this sheet anywhere ;-)

Mr. Plywood in Portland, OR might have it. I've been shopping there many times but I wouldn't have been paying attention to this type of plywood. It's not clear to me from the web page whether they carry it, so you might have to call them. Of course, you can't get much farther west of the Mississip.
