My guy make sure your insurance is top tier. A friend of mine was operating a large sporting goods store and lost his business because of repeated hammer smash and grabs.
That’s truly unfortunate! ATL isn’t any better than anywhere else either given the circumstances across the country. So I’m curious if his cases aren’t glass and security system is top notch.
the vertical displays make sense but how does someone look at the rows that are closest to the floor. they would have to lay on the floor or squat down to see them.
fair enough-though i feel like it is a lot easier to always bend slightly to look at the typical cabinet than to crouch for the bottom 5+ rows here@@TheRealWarez
in my opinion the vertical displays are a terrible idea for anyone over 6’0 tall. i’m 6’4 and i can tell you that i would not even bother to look lower tgan the first two top rows, it would hurt my back and be incredibly annoying. and I do not want to have to ask somebody to come over every time. I will not be coming to the store for that reason alone.
Not sure why you didn't go with a two-stack system like they do here normally. Place the higher-price stuff at eye-level with the lesser items towards the bottom (unless displayed with a categorical system)
Not in All-Time low economically! Not happening highest of highs inflation! This idea is 5 years to late!! 50 % of people don’t have 2 k in there bank account! It’s luxury to pay all your bills have a job & eat ! Nobody has disposable income for cards ! Try eating your cards! Maybe keep you warm in a fire pit! Lol 😂
@@scottysteadman5063 Sorry you don’t feel it’s good timing but based on what I saw at Culture Colliison, the success of the Dallas Card Show and the sneak peek last night…not sure that’s accurate. I do understand inflation is high and tough economy but maybe during tough times people resort back to things that make them happy and that they enjoy. 5 years ago people made money and you didn’t have to be smart to do it. We’ve since weeded out all of the people simply in it for profit and left the healthy, serious and passionate collectors now. I think the hobby trimmed the fat the last couple of years and now it’s lean, innovating, and preparing for takeoff again. Between what Geoff has done and what Rubin is doing, more innovation has come into our hobby in the last 4 years than the last 40 combined. It’s not even close. 📈🚀
@@scottysteadman5063 speak for yourself 😂😂😂 you obviously haven’t been to a card show or big card shop recently lol the Hobby is Nowhere Near DEAD or dying like people in the comments who have NO idea keep saying lol 😂😂
@@scottysteadman5063people are spending so much money on cards still these days , just because your not or people in your Inner circle aren’t doesn’t mean anything lol
woohoo! Didn't have to even bribe the fire marshall with free food or store credit!! Looking forward to visiting yall here in GA!!! May your ventures be prosperous and successful!!
Pretty cool! The vertical display cases are a good touch! Real Sportscards in Champlain Park Minnesota has some of the BEST vertical displays I've seen anywhere so I'm sure that alone will draw people in! Looking good so far!👍🏼
Super pumped for you sir. I love seeing possesed go-getters doing what they love while the rest of us find things to poop on go getters from their moms basement ❤❤❤❤. Good luck! Im sure ill buy some hockey cards from you one day 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Very inspiring
Exactly. It's like that scene in Spinal Tap, "why don't you just make 10 louder and make 10 be the top number?" ".... but ours go to 11." That's Geoff Wilson's mentality for you. And I don't hate the guy at all, cheers Geoff, you do you bro. I actually want them to succeed, but it's the sheer dumb hype and excitement he has over something that really isn't that special. He's biting off way more than he can chew.
its exciting that a genuinely great entrepreneur is coming into the card shop space and innovating. This is being done the right way and will be cool to see.
Gonna be epic…The island displays need a 1’ riser at least so the bottom row isn’t so uncomfortable to view and I’d stay longer if there were a few arcade and pinball machines. 🤪
I assume he means do they operate as a bulk submitter in which you can drop cards off there and they will send them to grading and you can go pick them up at the store when they return. I’m not sure whether or not they are accepting submissions there or not. I know Geoff has a partnership with gotbaseballcards as a bulk submitter tho
Yep those shelves really have all the cards at eye level, and make you not have to bend down at all, except for all the rows of cards below your waist height! 😁😂
Bro, you’re gonna have a ton of cracked slabs. The top rows are too high for a PSA crystal 💎 slab to fall and survive without a ton of shattered corners. Congrats nonetheless 👍🏾
1:30 this entire time I thought the cases would be electronic with a vertical carousel system, in which you’d press a button to activate the carousel. Still gotta squat down to see the lower tier cards🤷♂️
People like you that complain over EVERYTHING are the annoying part of not only this Hobby but the Annoying part of this world too lol😂😂😂 stop complaining about small shit lol.
Looks awesome man! Congrats! Wish u nothing but success! I live in cincinnati and I can guarantee u I will be making the 7 hr drive each way to come check it out
😂😂we had a new shop in Greensboro get broken into within a month of opening. He was smart though, had metal bars installed along the front so they got through the glass but couldnt get through.the bars to get to the merchandise.
Lol, Geoff thinks those card displays are so revolutionary. Dude, I'd rather look down a jewel case than have to squat all the way to the floor to see cards on the lower parts of those vertical displays. As the card market sinks, and it's already started, Cards HQ is going to go belly up.
@@JaneDoey Uhh, they had a huge event where hundreds of people showed up and they created a chase card of Brady on the Expos. Do you think that was a failure or something?

@@djayk9692Lots of blacks in Atlanta, be careful
Atlanta is probably one of the least safe places too, its been a mess there past few years
CLICK BAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just like everything on TH-cam
He needs his money back from this store somehow😂. Wish him all the best

Get out of here it’s not click bait
No@@macl221310

💯
Doh
@@KipArmadillo I am cowboy. Looking for anything heavy. Billy Rickett sent me.
But our vertical display cases are BEAUTIFUL and the cards will be standing up! Did you not hear the sales pitch?
The amount being spent on the buildout is bananas
Love the vertical displays. Like Blockbuster video back in the day! Makes tons of sense
How did that end up?
@@plb3733 lol
Exactly, 5 years from now this shop will be a Halloween Express.
...and what about the cards on the bottom 5 shelves/rows...lol...have fun looking at those.
always a negative nancy, eh?
@@schteeee He ain't wrong, eh?
...still 50% better than any other card store I've ever been to... gotta bend down to see any of their inventory.

Based on the investment of this store, the prices of the cards cannot be reasonable.
False
Was there for the trade night and the cards were surprisingly very reasonably priced. Probably the best Ive seen inside a brick and mortar shop.
i hope online be the same ...

Nah man, you gotta put a 33 Sport Kings Babe Ruth right next to a Mosaic Orange Scripts Justin Herbert. That's how we do around here, apparently.
Congratulations on the new shop! It looks phenomenal!
Excited for this new store - saw it in person last night and these displays are terrific!! Some of the innovations here will change the hobby! 👏🏼👏🏼

Instead of neck pain I get sore knees bending. I’m old 😂
Hi Geoff,
Are you going to label each display and row by number and letter so when I look for cards online I’m able to remember where a card is?
They're going to use the Dewey Decimal System. Gonna revolutionize the hobby!
woohoo! Didn't have to even bribe the fire marshall with free food or store credit!! Looking forward to visiting yall here in GA!!! May your ventures be prosperous and successful!!
Where can we order those card displays!?
Love it Geoff! Yourself and the team have been working hard and can’t wait to see the outcome
Pretty cool! The vertical display cases are a good touch! Real Sportscards in Champlain Park Minnesota has some of the BEST vertical displays I've seen anywhere so I'm sure that alone will draw people in! Looking good so far!👍🏼

Store looks great! Looking forward to the grand revel. Cheers!
Im happy for you guys. My sister lives down in douglas so next time i visit were definitely coming by
It will always pass if you grease the palm. That's how it works here in Chicago.
Can’t imagine how big of a loss this is gonna be.
Wow , looks awesome . Can't wait for my grangson to visit and we will be in to check it out .
Do they have a listing of their cards on HQ with prices?
Congrats Geoff and crew
Hope to visit from Memphis Tn
LOL, i will give this 2-3 years before its closing its doors. Geoff has made a colossal miscalculation.
What a huge project. Looks amazing. Congratulations!
You still have to bend way down to look at all the cards.
Bend at the knees, not at the back/kneck! Might as well put seat cushions on the ground because most of those cards are so close to the floor

Awesome job and can’t wait to see the finished product ❤
You guys got the display idea from the Great Curators video overseas huh?
Sounds like a recipe for failure
@@plb3733 sounds like you need a tissue
Geoff about to put a lot of small time whatnot breakers out of business!! lol
🤯 WOW, looks Amazing, hope to go there someday 👍
I try not to be negative all the time but man that blue is just 🤢 who suggested that
Inspections are so stressful.
Cool. The only thing you can't see the back of the cards to see the numbers or design etc . amazing store.
That’s a problem with any display case
The hand gestures need to chill 😅
Feels like I’m watching a politician
More money than sense
Congratulations on your inspection
Congrats Geoff, I know you’ve probably taken a lot of outside negative noise but I gotta say this looks awesome and wish you nothing but success!
its exciting that a genuinely great entrepreneur is coming into the card shop space and innovating. This is being done the right way and will be cool to see.
No it won't, scrub
I love all your videos 😊
I Tell You .. Salute to "All", Dedicated Workers, ' Time' Is Surely Important, I was Nervous Myself.Looks WONDERFUL!👏
Wish I could go opening day. Maybe myself and the kiddos will make a trip from Alaska. Cheers
Amazing can’t wait to visit next time I’m in Atlanta
thank good you got the doors who need cards
Got that Blockbuster vibe. I dig it.
So much overhead can't see how they will make profit. But wish him well kinda Luke the Disney world of card shops. Good luck
Next level for sure. Congrats
See you Feb 3! Can't wait!
Need to go there this year. Hopefully this can last and keep this going. It’s great for the hobby and bringing in young collectors.
This gonna be epic!🎉congratulations.can we purchase online?
Will you have raw vintage in near sets of baseball, hockey, football and basketball? 1950s-1970s
Doesn't a real fire marshall hold an axe and a ladder and carry a human dummy over his back? That was no fire marshall!
Glad i kinda got to see some of the store ! Thanks to justin gamble gamble. This store will be on my bucket list forsure!
Gonna be epic…The island displays need a 1’ riser at least so the bottom row isn’t so uncomfortable to view and I’d stay longer if there were a few arcade and pinball machines. 🤪

The shameless self promotion is incredible. Cringe
So speaks Slymike
You must be new. This is Geoff Wilson's schtick all day. Not hating, he's obviously done well for himself.
PWCC had a vertical display 100% like that at the national.
I’m one hour away from atl. Can I get cards graded in your store?
How would they grade cards in the store? Is that a serious question?
I assume he means do they operate as a bulk submitter in which you can drop cards off there and they will send them to grading and you can go pick them up at the store when they return. I’m not sure whether or not they are accepting submissions there or not. I know Geoff has a partnership with gotbaseballcards as a bulk submitter tho
Good 👍 luck with everything
Congrats on 300k subs!!!
i hate 2 see what you are going to do to the other stores........your not being fare 2 them
The guy in the video seems like a massive cornball. Nice shop
Horrible click bait
The shop looks great. My wife even said it looks and would visit with me
Can’t wait to go there!
Yep those shelves really have all the cards at eye level, and make you not have to bend down at all, except for all the rows of cards below your waist height! 😁😂

Come on….you don’t need the Click Bait…you can be better than this.
Love it great work
I can't wait to stop in
Kinda spoiled this video with the trade night content. Failing the inspection = no trade night.
Lol, like they're going to upload a video saying "we failed inspection, no card shop after all." Come on, man.
I was there yesterday
You can get a temporary CFO I know btr
Great video🎉
1:30 this entire time I thought the cases would be electronic with a vertical carousel system, in which you’d press a button to activate the carousel. Still gotta squat down to see the lower tier cards🤷♂️

There is a card I can't find that I have a chet holmgren great x-pectations numbered to 15 red and blue
Looks awesome man! Congrats! Wish u nothing but success! I live in cincinnati and I can guarantee u I will be making the 7 hr drive each way to come check it out
Best of luck bud. Seems like a man that has a 5 year plan with vision and chips = win/win for him no mater what. Who's your insurance guy in the ATL?
Cereal companies have done this since stores were invented. It's called face-out shelving. Best of luck - looks amazing.
"Unlike anything you have seen in the us before"......maybe you should travel back to my local shop in the 90s that had vertical displays.
Awsome🎉🎉🎉🎉
Better have hockey cards and wax…
The card displays are a GameChanger those are so nice make it so nice and you having the prices on the cards is great
It’s like block buster on steroids. Oh and cards instead of tapes and dvds.
Yes here in Woodstock a card store was busted into about 6 months ago . Good luck with everything .

Keep trolling and hating! Aint gonna happen

Dang soon as I commented that your in a Denver hoodie 💀
Greir HQ is my Graceland!
Say a card is $100 is it set in stone or can I make an offer on it?
No offers accepted from what Geoff had mentioned in an interview
Wow Jeff, this looks amazing. Can’t wait to visit and buy online.

Congratulations on your new business venture 🎉🎉 much continued success
Thought you were not going to open glad you are though
