Pulling a 1/1 SIGNED Zion Williamson and R.J. Barrett Rookie Card from a pack of basketball cards is definitely a “Pinned Tweet” worthy moment! Had to show it one more time y’all just to pin it! Thanks so much for all the AWESOME comments and congrats! #Zion

So…Oscar needs a ride to Indianapolis Thursday and wants me to see if I can take him (Sentences I never thought I’d type). I’ve dropped kids off at summer camp before but never dropped any off at the NBA.

After 3 hours of true conversation and time with Coach Pope in a private and chill setting I can say I feel very, VERY confident we are in great hands….

It has arrived!! Some cards are just worth it. They aren’t for resale, they become heirlooms. They are a ‘dropped pin’ in a collecting life full of memories. This is just perfect for this Braves, baseball, history fan…I have no words good enough for this beautiful card.

YES!! This is the security video of one of our favorite guys, hanging in the shop with us, pulling a Zion out of @paniniamerica “One and One!” We went nuts! I think you can see my hat hit the window from outside at the end! THIS MADE MY MONTH! Customers we love hitting a monster!

So I bought the biggest baseball card I’ve ever bought in terms of what I paid. But some cards just speak to everything about what and who you collect…some cards just sing to you! This one is incoming and it was belting out my song….

Headed to a dinner tomorrow with Coach Pope and his Family so I’m excited to meet him! I know a few of his old teammates and truly hope to have him in shop one day, give all proceeds to his team NIL fund, here’s hoping! Regardless I have never heard anything but great things.

So, also had a mild coronary finding this binder yesterday. Tucked away, behind a Darth Vader piggy bank I believe, I almost took a knee, a lap around the building, a fresh glass of water.

Our friend John the policeman is a huge LSU and Saints fan, he has become a fast friend of the shop and last week he said, “I have a special box I want to bring in and just rip with you guys at the card bar. I probably shouldn’t open it but I want to in the shop…” it was 2020

Not the birthday present I was hoping for this year. The glass didn’t break or shatter but the door didn’t hold. We have ideas and they didn’t get much in 30 seconds but if you recognize please let us know. We didn’t want bars on windows but we will adjust accordingly. Just sad.

12 years ago in an empty Paul Brown stadium in March my wife and I were throwing TD passes to each other and I dropped to a knee (after an Ickey Shuffle) and proposed. She loved the Bengals & I loved them both. We have been die hard together for years & we can’t believe this…

Last night I had the pleasure, honor of spending a couple quiet hours with Jeff and Stacey Sheppard in the shop. They were exactly what one hopes when sitting with new friends, kind, humble, inquisitive and loving. At the end they were kind enough to both sign this old 1998

After seeing what the Lebron Exquisite RC sold for this past week. I mean wow, it’s an exciting time to be an old school collector that’s held on to cards because of stories and love of the hobby with hopes that one day they may be able to provide something more. Just amazing!

Just a cool side note, we have Karl Towns stopping in shop today, last minute notice and not a public deal but incredible to think we opened 8 months ago and have the #1 pick in our little shop! Just a killer feeling that he is coming to something we built! Just so so cool…!.

Every year @thefloofer and I open @paniniamerica National Treasures Collegiate and NFL Football and look for Bengals and Kentucky players. This year wasn’t either but…I don’t think I’ve ever pulled a card this expensive at the actual time it was pulled…wowstill pretty stunned!

I guess my point is I don’t open a box to “did you make your money back?” I don’t go to Disney world to run in & win enough stuffed animals to pay for my ticket selling on the secondary market. I pay for the fun. All boxes are fun. Again, just for me and flipping is great too!.

Took the risk and we opened one box of 1996-97 Topps series 2 Basketball, hoping we could hit Kobe and AI RCS that were centered, clean and had a chance to be a 10. it was an amazing rip, amazing box and man we think most, not all but most, of these look really,REALLY promising!

I wish we could have a whole bunch of these signed and in my shop…they wouldn’t last a week. We would be shipping them to ‘Cats all over the world! I’ll certainly try! I’m just so damn excited for a great kid and this state…
