A card shop inside a big league ballpark? It’s happening on Thursday.
Hit Seekers Sports Cards, which opened just across the Ohio River from Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati two years ago, is opening a second location inside the stadium.
The kiosk style store will be located on the ballpark’s main concourse along the third base line, offering sports card boxes, raw cards and graded singles, housed in display cases.
Hours will coincide with Reds’ home games. The 2024 season opens Thursday afternoon, with the Washington Nationals in town.
Hit Seekers began as an online breaking business in 2020 before opening its main retail shop in Ft. Mitchell, KY in 2022. They continue to conduct breaks.
The business became an official Reds sponsor last season and will have an involvement with the team’s kid’s club this year, holding classes to help teach youngsters about various elements of collecting.
Hit Seekers is owned by father-and-son duo Greg and Jake Rouse, the latter having also co-founded Braxton Brewing Company in Covington, KY.
“Our mission is based on making ‘baseball cards cool again,’” Greg Rouse stated. “We are more than a broker to sell and trade collectables through; we build community around the love of sports and the history behind them.”
