“I’ve been buying stuff from this guy for years and I can safely tell you he’s in it for the hobby. I watch him give 20 $30 cards to kids all the time I’ve been wanting to Peyton Manning Sp diecut rookie for years but honestly can’t afford the prices on those things he got one in a big lot. He paid like $1000 for the lot and he sold it to me for 200 Beckett graded 9.5 Try to find that at another card shop. People complain a lot that his hours are off they’re not really off. He’s got some pretty serious health issues and sometimes he just can’t make it in. He’s hired people to come in and run the Shop when he can’t do it but every time he does, they just steal from him. If you’re looking for the kind of old-school card shop where you can go in and there’s a card that’s 200 $300 and yeah talk to him about it and offer them 100 bucks you’re probably walking away with it. He’s a super nice guy so if you had a bad experience or you think you were wrong just try again, but remember you’re dealing with the guy that’s in a lot of pain that’s struggling like the rest of the world. I can give you one more example. I wanted the 1960 mantle. I really didn’t care about the condition just as long as you can see the picture and shit and read the back. He got one in. He gave the guy like 80 bucks for it hundred bucks or something it’s pretty trashed he traded me for a $15 cow Raleigh straight across he knew I just wanted that card and I was the only reason why he got that card so when you get to know this guy, he’ll do everything he can to help you complete what you wanna find . Just a couple weeks ago he had one of the original beam team Michael Jordan graded nine some guy offered him 400 bucks for it. I know it’s worth more but that’s what he offered. He turned it down because one of his customers has been looking for that card, he just took it in that morning and I was there when he called that customer to tell him he got a beam team in there and all I could hear was yeah I got one. We’ll talk about it when you get here. The guy was there in 10 minutes. He asked him what he wanted for it and he said that he could do 225 sale done look that card up so now I’m going for the Nolan Ryan rookie his response. Give me a couple weeks.”

“Always a great experience. Ara is a cool dude, he usually sets aside my favorite player's cards so I can look upon arrival.”

“My husband and son went for the first time to your store. My son after hours have gone by is wanting to go back. He was in heaven, with all your sports collection. They also said you were so nice to them. I think you made 2 new customers for life. So glad I found this shop.”

“No hobby at all, retail prices are laughable. Overall, single prices also VERY high, but that happens at card shops. Cherry on top was guy making inappropriate jokes. May have been funny if it were a friend telling me jokes about wife and other women, but made more than 1 within 5 minutes of walking in, pretty weird. If had better prices and product would say whatever to the jokes, I'm not sensitive at all, but with everything together , just a creepy vibe.”
