Hey Geoff. Im a big fan. Id like to wish the best of luck with your card shop. Id love to apply for a job but i live in Canada and I'm 52 with Parkinson's so that is all i feel like talking about that. I was wondering if i can still buy any hockey stuff. I was also wondering about card grading. I hope to hear back from you about the card grading and buying from Canada.. thanks again.
love the inside look. a YT series like CC2: building a cardshop would be awesome
I agree with this. I am already hoping to eventually make a trip down to CardsHQ to check it out.
Looking forward to checking the store out
Ambitious endeavor. Congratulations and really appreciate you showing what’s possible for card stores.
Congrats Geoff! Why do I have a feeling we'll see a huge card show in Atlanta similar to the Burbank Show in the near future (Maybe 2025).
With the Nationals passing on ATL---the void is there for you to fill.
Again, Congrats & All the best!
Super exciting! Congrats to you and your team. Looking forward to visiting
How does Joe from Gotbaseballcards feel about you opening a shop in his backyard? Still partnering on grading?
Great question. I wanna know too
Geoff picked his 🧠 a week ago one more time... he was sitting there a few days ago SAVAGE lol
This is Joe. We are super excited for Geoff, Ryan, and Carter and look forward to working with them to share ideas to grow both of our businesses.
It’s a win win. They’ll help each other.
Same day in house grading
pretty excited u are opening a sprots card shop of that scale and a modern style in atlanta….
love the conversation and inspiring
my 2 cents
has to be SKU based not the Beckett.still that LCS use.
SKU(scan) when receive and SKU (scan) them out as sold whether on line or in store. it takes them out of your inventory. the closes i can think of as example is old used music stores. that bought and sold used cds ( hundreds of thousands of titles) and the ones that lasted used SKU. Industry died because of digital convenience. inventory mgmt is crucial and SKU does it. most brick and mortar stores that also sell on line have software based on SKU even if inventory of a SKU is 1 and takes off e bay. etc. got to think more large retail inventory mgmt not typical LCS. gonna cost but in my opinion it will save you in long run getting away from a beckett style listing and inventory mgmt.
SKU will list item as a random inventory number but in your software input you can add description ie Tony Gywnn Topps # grade etc etc .
Interesting to hear what you guys went through shopping for potential spaces. We had the same experience with our 2nd location. There are so many people that don't understand the trading card industry, how it's grown and the future potential. Fortunately, we found a space and a landlord that actually listened.
If u ever make vids on your experience of opening a card shop, I'd watch.
if u need to "unload" cards that are hard to because it's "junk wax era" or a "niche" market (like boxing cards) n it's not worth your time or e bay fees etc, let me know.
I sometimes buy that stuff, sometimes in bulk, for good deals.
Can you start a tv show , like pawn stars for example, where you talk to customers about what they’re looking for and show the deals and such, I think that’ll be interesting
The potential data you can get from this store is an asset in itself
Excellent point
If we wanted to duplicate this In south Florida we own a real estate company we can completely fund the store etc would just want to partner with you guys on the marketing and possibly use your name would you be interested ? More than happy to build the same size and use the same brand setup etc ? I’ve been in business for 20 years I have a team ready to go
i scan well over 500 cards a day,i have on line stores,ebay whatnot store..You gotta find the right team and i would be down to helping you guys get the store going,and i also have a pretty decent following so that always helps.
Congrats
I am going there today
Can I be part of the racing card investor department?... maybe CFO? 😂

Your monthly rent has to be ridiculous not to mention your utilities are going to be crazy. Your monthly bills on this big of a location has to run over $100,000.00 a month. 🤯
What POS system will you be using to keep track of everything between online sales, and in store sales? This seems like one of the biggest hurdles for the industry.
Fanatics vision to 10x the hobby is all based on making this hobby more like gambling..if that pans out, your card shop will be the first casino
First
If I were you I’d back up the brinks truck and hire Stryker Breaks. He’s hands down the best breaker in the game when it comes to mlb.
Hands down the best

Carpe diem
