I'm a Singaporean and it really excites me to see Geoff's dreams come true. We don't have a huge card-collecting community in Singapore, but it is slowly growing. It is so heart warming to see people just hanging out in the store. I hope one day I can be there at the store, to make some friends and just talk about cards.
Even with all the hate, you keep pressing forward to help change the hobby for the better! Keep grinding and even if this endeavor doesn't pan out, you've made some moves that will make a difference in how we look at hobby shops!
If you notice ALL the haters are guys that didn't fit in well in high school. The guys that had to act like they are smarter than everyone and that's why they don't fit in. None of them ever have the nuts to let the people they trash have a real face to face with them.
@@jcbuckeyeallot of it is jealousy, comes with every business , business is cutthroat and seems to mainly be about enticing people into buying stuff it’s just the world we live in every one is freinds with customers until they have no money and then they are ignored , 99% of the haters are broke and don’t understand the world we live in
I love your modern insight to the importance of the online sales which will help supplement the high costs of keeping a physical store going. Ingenious!!! It was really cool seeing your family and how much they support you. You are truly a blessed man. Congratulations on everything!
making everything digital is way to go. One of my local stores has everything in store listed on a site and you can check on pc in store. So much easier than going through bins to look.
Congrats the whole journey is priceless.. Hope to bring the whole family down sometime.. Congrats on building the Ultimate Card Shop in the World.. Amazing!
Love the family interaction. The fact that your wife had the biggest smile of anybody means you must be doing something right. Dream shop for sure. Hope you all bring liquidity to the hobby, a lot of collectors have cards to sell but feel stuck.
As someone who has grown up in Atlanta area, interested in tcg playing and collecting since I was a kid, this was one of my favorite shops to enter in a long time. 1. The employees helping with trade ins and sales had great knowledge of the cards, and if you go in looking to, they give incredible trade in value (about 20-40% higher than other stores in the area). 2. They have an incredible selection on not only sports, but other tcgs such as pokemon, yugiho, one piece, etc. 3. The experience of getting to watch as many openings as you can (depending on how many people are ripping for whatnot in their private booths) allows you to watch people pull the grails we all want, while experiencing the authentic reaction of excitement someone gets as they pull that grail. If you are in Georgia and love the hobby, I absolutely recommend checking this shop out.
The growth, both personally and professionally, over the past 5 years has been nothing short of inspirational. Thank you for continuing to inspire the next generation of collectors, Geoff!
Geoff & Team, Atlanta is blessed to have your new card business located in their city. Congratulations on your opening. This is so wonderful for collectors of all ages to have access to everything you will offer in this hobby. Donnie- W.V. 🇺🇲
Thank you for taking the hobby to the next level and look forward to one day traveling to Atlanta to go to your store and then visit the Atlanta Aquarium. Also thank you for what you do for the kids in the hobby.
I'm genuinely happy for Geoff mann, through all the haters & other media sources tryna knock this brutha down w/ whatever will stick negatively to this man's name in the public eye, this shop opening is dedicated to all those haters especially, Geoff, my mann if u actually see this comment brutha we dont know 1 another but I been w/ u since the days when u would post countdowns on TH-cam for when sports card investor TH-cam channel was going to go live, it doesn't seem that long ago but it's been roughly 5 maybe 5 1/2 yrs since then brutha, congrats on your new opening I really am happy for u bro, I know they been hating, & u have persevered through every knuck & cranny of it all, all this said I want to leave u with something for the backburnner..... "u kill a roach with raid, u kill a hater by getting paid" fucc the haters as long as u are getting they gonna throw shade my mann, if u made it this far thank u for staying with me on what I wanted to share with u & congrats again mann CON-GRAD-U-A-TION'S ONCE AGAIN, GOD BLESS !
WHAT. A. FUN. VIDEO! A few times each year, I go through waves of the hobby on and off, and currently IT's ON! So, I'm catching up what I missed over the winter from my favourite creators in the hobby... I am thrilled for you, your partners, and your team! Super cool seeing BTS like this. I am all for Hockey items, hahahaha.
Geoff, you have a beautiful family my friend! Great looking store! Ignore the jealous people and keep doing what your doing! Can't wait to corpse see in person!
Liked and subscribed just based on the passion for the hobby alone. People like you are why these hobbies are so great. It doesn't matter if its sports cards, fishing, fitness, miniature gaming, sewing, deep sea diving, the people who put in the hours, sacrifice, commit, honour the hobbies and promote the growth are the reason casuals like myself can dip in and out and find happiness and contentment. That mental break from life and work is necessary for all of us, so thanks for all of it. And if you turn a profit in the process you damn well deserve it so nobody better be hating on the 'business' side of things. If you are then you might as well get mad at Kellogs when you buy a box of cereal or the power company when you flick your lights on. Also as a side note, beautiful family, congrats man. If you take nothing else away from this, 20:37 time stamp take a look at the way your wife is looking at you. Greatest reward you could ask for right there.
Love it! Well done Geoff and Team! And I really like how the family come to support, give a cool gift + addition to the shop! My fave part is when your daughter says she wants to help make the price tags for the Pokemon wax. 🙂
This is a special place you guys have created. I am a lifelong Braves fan from Midd Tenn and gonna come check you out next Braves game. Congrats and Good Luck!
Major congratulations. Praying nothing bad happens to the store. I hope you have the army guarding that store 24/7. Criminals are very brazen these days.
Congrats on a big step im your journey! I wish you all the best. I greatly enjoy your content and am a long time viewer. You are great for the hobby! Always believe that keep grinding!
Store looks great, living your dreams! Fantastic vibes only wished I lived in the states to see such commitment to the cards community store honestly looks amazing!
not gonna lie, this is incredible Geoff. From the excitement of your daughter to the disappointment in the boys face because he couldn't find any Tyreek Hill to the heartful joy in the man who was diggin through the dollar boxes and your commitment to people first and profit second. Your store is an absolute joy. I hope it continues to help people. Good luck with this and hopefully for you and your team the store settles down into some consistency over the years to come after the initial first rush you will have from opening day/week/month.
"2 hours till showtime"... I know you're stoked and invested a lot into this, but the people coming in are thinking "card shop". Don't over-manage, micro-manage or put too much pressure on employees and customers. If you want it to feel like a place to hang and chill, that's called 'home'. Let it organically grow, like a home, nurture it yes, but don't let it overextend you or your family (in store or 'home'). Best of luck and remember the feeling of the card store you first worked in, and card stores you wen to as a kid!
Could not have happened to a better human being. Although it's about the opening, my favorite part is seeing the genuine emotion when you reflected on your first job was a card shop. It is inspiring to see that. You can tell that you truly care about the hobby, collectors and your customers.
Great to see the opening went so well lots of smiling faces there. I will be buying from your store as I know it is a name I can trust. A future customer from Australia.
Congrats man, I’ve been following you since the start and it’s insane to see how far you have come. You not only got me in to the hobby, but you gave me access to some the business skills many people take years to develop. So from the bottom of my heart thank you, and I hope you continue to inspire many more in the future 🤍
I visited the shop opening weekend and it was truly amazing. I can't wait to go back and best of luck with it. I really hope it does well with the community as a whole and brings in new collectors.
Beautiful store all around - job well done Geoff - you have a beautiful family as well! I hope the community rewards your hard work and wish the Cards HQ team long term success!
Love the cards HQ Cornhole I want one 😅🎉😂 Great Family Geoff. Don't let them grow up too fast. There's never a chance to go back. CardsHQ I think is kinda like Disney world for card collectors & Big kids
For me its for the kids...online took over now yes but i like seeing kids rushing for that card store...thats all we had in the 80's and 90's...we didnt have no social media to do our trades and sales..it was all done at the card shop..not only trading and sales but friendship was made too..good job with the shop geoff and everyone else..support the LCS!!
My cousin and I had a dream when we were kids for exactly this. This is awesome. I hope the shop does well! I wish I had the money to open up a local joint but I'll settle for a tiny youtube channel lol.
Outro music sounded familiar, its the music Ryan from Cardcollector2 uses!!! 😁 You have a beautiful family Geoff, don't ever let the shitheads of the internet get you down. Hope to see more videos of the shop and customer interactions, this video was very well put together.
Man! I remember when I first subscribed! I think it was like 2018 and he was just starting out with, Hellllllllllllllooooooooooooo… He was a lil shy and nervous. But, in time I knew this guy was in for the long run. And to be honest, out of all creators this guy put collecting sports cards back on the map. I would say he is the modern 🐐 to sports cards investing and marketing. He is definitely 💯 for the hobby/community!!! 😎👌💯🔥👊🏽🦾🚀
Geoff, not sure if you’ll see this but just wanted to say , tune out the haters man. You’re following your dreams, you’ve set up an awesome space for others who share your passion and you clearly have a loving supporting family. So as others sit in their basements and make fun of you on social media, maybe they need to see you’ve won at life
I'm a Singaporean and it really excites me to see Geoff's dreams come true. We don't have a huge card-collecting community in Singapore, but it is slowly growing.

Singaporean here as well, Our community is growing slowly but surely! Maybe in the future Singapore might be the next S.E.A location for CardsHQ 😄
Singaporean here as well. We have a healthy pokemon tcg community but not sports cards
shoves the kid out of the way, "hold on, they got a big hit??!!"
Maybe he heard 4 or 5: "Lets GO'(s)!!!"
wow this shop looks incredible congrats to Geoff on this!
Even with all the hate, you keep pressing forward to help change the hobby for the better! Keep grinding and even if this endeavor doesn't pan out, you've made some moves that will make a difference in how we look at hobby shops!

I'm really glad you are still able to have a great relationship with Joe! He could have easily been petty about it, he is a big man.
Joe Davis is a class act

Congrats Jeff and team, so happy for you all…

The family moments towards the end were the best. Great video, best of luck! Wish I lived closer, I’d definitely be a regular.
I like your family, Geoff! That was a pretty neat gift that you got - really thoughtful!
