How it got started...

After 27 years of operating his one man sporting goods business, my father passed away.  I started the process of liquidating his sporting goods inventory.

I wish there was eBay back in 1989! 

One evening I found a whole drawer of old Topps baseball card packs...going back into the early 70's!  My childhood card collecting interest was re-kindled.  I went and found my old cards and discovered nearly 5,000 NRMNT/MINT cards, including 7 1968 Nolan Ryan/Koosman Rookie Cards! 

I visited the only local card shop and realized there was definite potential for another shop in town.  Within a week I decided to quit my teaching job and turn dad's already existing storefront into a cardshop.

One man card shop with over 1 million cards in stock!

Now in my 19th year running a one man card shop, I look back and know why my business has been successful. 

 I treat people like people, not just customers. 

I educate new collectors. I give back to the community. I donate cards to charity events and to Toys for Tots every Christmas. I give cards to kids at report card time...and sometimes for no reason.  I still open the doors everyday and look forward to making someone happy.  I remember it is your hobby and it is supposed to be fun.
