Shop Talk: Beyond the Cardboard, Wishing for Wembanyama, “Dog Water”

April 25, 2023 By Tony Reid

It was yet another week full of shipping and receiving at the shop...and I'm not just talking sports cards.  Midweek, we received our semi-regular shipment of skids of bags, purses, and similar non-sports items. Our shop carries a line of backpacks, purses, wallets and other similar accessories that are in various licensed categories from Disney to Nickelodeon, Marvel, … [Read more...] about Shop Talk: Beyond the Cardboard, Wishing for Wembanyama, “Dog Water”

Shop Talk: New Prizm Basketball, Falling Stars, Trying to Tangle with the Tax Man

April 17, 2023 By Tony Reid

Tony Reid chronicles the happenings inside Sports Zone, the Central Pennsylvania store where he works. —– It was a really fun week at the shop as a few of our long-term customers we hadn't seen in awhile made their way back into the store. We were beyond excited to see Jeff and Harriet as we hadn't seen them in since before Christmas. I became so concerned that I even asked … [Read more...] about Shop Talk: New Prizm Basketball, Falling Stars, Trying to Tangle with the Tax Man

Shop Talk: Stocks and Restocks, Teenymates, T-Law Treasures, Collectors After Adley

April 10, 2023 By Tony Reid

It's been a great start to the month for restocks on current and previous years' baseball, basketball and football cards. From hobby to retail, we've gotten a bunch of stuff in lately (this single picture doesn't do it justice). I was talking to my coworker early this week as we checked in piles and piles of new products. I was thinking how sad the state of affairs has become … [Read more...] about Shop Talk: Stocks and Restocks, Teenymates, T-Law Treasures, Collectors After Adley

April 3, 2023 By Tony Reid

Tony Reid chronicles the happenings inside Sports Zone, the Central Pennsylvania store where he works. —– It was another great week of new card releases across many major (and minor) sports.

What’s Hot, Merging Edition

April 1, 2023 By Mike Fruitman

Bluto: "What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is!"   Usually I use this space to share What's Hot in my card shop or shops overall.  This time I'd like to share a slightly different report and also apologize for not contributing as much as I should have recently.  I've been a bit distracted and I hope this sheds some light as to why … [Read more...] about What’s Hot, Merging Edition

Shop Talk: PSA Return; 2020 Contenders Football Left Behind; What’s Hot–and Not

March 27, 2023 By Tony Reid

Tony Reid chronicles the happenings inside Sports Zone, the Central Pennsylvania store where he works. —– Throw this into the "we should have done this ten years ago" file but we were excited to receive our first PSA return from our newly established dealer account. Yes, it is hard to believe that we didn't have a dealer account for the past few years but that was not my call … [Read more...] about Shop Talk: PSA Return; 2020 Contenders Football Left Behind; What’s Hot–and Not

Shop Talk: Redemption Ridiculousness, Big In-Store Spenders, Prizm Football Drops

March 19, 2023 By Tony Reid

Tony Reid chronicles the happenings inside Sports Zone, the Central Pennsylvania store where he works. —– One of the things that caught my eye this week didn't happen in our shop but it has heavy hobby-wide implications and has for quite some time now. I'm talking about the hobby wide car wreck that is the redemption process. One story on social media caught my eye.  … [Read more...] about Shop Talk: Redemption Ridiculousness, Big In-Store Spenders, Prizm Football Drops

March 14, 2023 By Tony Reid

Tony Reid chronicles the happenings inside Sports Zone, the Central Pennsylvania store where he works. —– This week, we saw what would be the last of the customer with the incredibly large sports card collection for sale. Long gone are the four and five row boxes. Now in recent trips, we've been seeing the small shoe boxes, the 100, 200 count boxes full of random, dusty … [Read more...] about Shop Talk: End of the Line for the Big Collection, Sudden Walmart Baseball Card Sales, Thin Margins

March 5, 2023 By Tony Reid

Tony Reid chronicles the happenings inside Sports Zone, the Central Pennsylvania store where he works. —– It was a sports card heavy week at the shop, which as you know by now, is my favorite kind of week. We got a ton of restocks, new releases, and all kinds of cards to fill our shelves.

Shop Talk: Taking Ownership, Communication is Key, Piles of Product

February 27, 2023 By Tony Reid

Tony Reid chronicles the happenings inside Sports Zone, the Central Pennsylvania store where he works. —– The shop's owner was in the Carolinas again last week as he continues the process of remodeling a recently purchased retail spot for a future Sports Zone location.
