Paula is a legend!!! Much love to you and yours and wishing much happiness in your retirement!

[@chunter3882]

Those are good prices on those boxes. Not overpriced

[@shanesumida315]

WOW! I had no idea she was still in business. I remember going here when I was on summer break in college. Bought most of my 89 Upper Deck baseball from her. Breaking packs chasing Griffey RCs and got a factory set she limited to 1 per customer.

Got that Griffey rookie card

That’s a great heart warming story. First order of business when the sister takes over should be to update that website. 😬 it’s rough.

Paula!!!!! Nuuuuuu she was the best! Great deals always as helpful as she can be going out of here way to do things for customers! 😮😢❤ hope you have a wonderful retirement you earned it!

You’re og card collectors if you remember krazee kollectables, j’s knickknacks, and chasms all within walking distance in nuuanu.

[@andrewdumpling1864]

damn she is still there the whole time? I remember playing arcades there.

[@Truckngirl]

Thank you for this very wholesome story! I'm going to call, maybe they buy?

[@spang9782]

Hmmm....I started collecting Hot Wheels when they first came out and, as I ended up working in a toy company as a part time job, I also got first pick when new cases came in. I have old original Hot Wheels that some collectors call "red lines" because the wheels originally had red sidewalls. Original packaging, never opened. I always thought maybe not in my lifetime, but grandkids can benefit?

Missed going to Parker’s back in the day

So cool, I should have kept some complete unopened boxes from the 90's.

The OG

Thats great to hear all these good memories of her. I remember going in and she was very rude. I was 11 yrs old and didnt know much about collecting at the time but was interested. I asked a few questions about some unopened packs and prices. They were a bit more than I could afford so unfortunately I couldnt buy any. I remember her telling me that if I wasnt going to come in and buy anything than I shouldnt waste her time. I was embarrassed and left. I saved up, and a few months later and went back. I remember buying 2 packs of basketball. When I asked her if there were any good ones? she told me why would I buy something and not know who the good players were. I ended up leaving and never going back

[@TropicalMint808]

sounds about right 😂 I'm one of those grown ups with card collecting kids now 🤙

[@lazybeastz182]

sometimes she gets mad when you dont follow her rules but i had good memories coming here in hs

[@davec3651]

She had to keep you punk kids in line 😆

[@royhi1809]

not quiting...just transfering. Congratulations on your retirement!

[@ronnyvillanueva9404]
