Geoff: “how can I turn my Hawaiian vacation into a business expense?” …. The result, this video :-D

[@collectgrails4878]

[@shawnbrown452]

This was a great episode.

Used to go to Paula's as a kid 30 years ago! Amazing to see her still doing so well. Her store IG/FB are great, too.

[@13justiny]

I actually visited Paula's on June 30th, the day right before Geoff went! Had a great conversation with her on sports cards in general, she's SUPER honest about her prices - something that is so rare to see these day. Very nice people and I can't recommend her enough. What was supposed to be a 10 min visit ended up being 40 minutes. I'll definitely visit her again!

[@richardbahamondez24]

Paula is a legend!! Visiting from Sydney and just left her store, such a nice person.

[@odsdrummer]

So glad to see Paula is still going strong! Loved her old videos

[@ryanroodzant9262]

Geoff.. Went to college for a few years in Hawaii. Got married in Hawaii last month and the day before the wedding brought my wife to meet Paula. Such an amazing lady and a true pioneer in the hobby.... Did she break out her pc and show you her MJ 1/1 exquisite auto that was absolutely NFS???

[@evangturner]

Paula's a gem

[@waynebriley8197]

As a veteran, once stationed in Hawaii for 42 months, I became more involved in the sports card market during my time on Oahu. Would always ride the city bus to visit card shops. Great memories. Plus the various card shows that would pop up, was able to meet Mike Pizza & Hank Aaron at a Hawaiian card show! I so needed to see this video. Hope to once again live in Hawaii someday!

[@Woodysworldcollectibles1]

I went to Paula’s shop when my oldest son was stationed at Hickman for his 1st duty station. Ten years later when another son got stationed at same place for his first assignment we have been twice in couple weeks. She is still same positive outgoing person with lot’s knowledge

[@calihilo]

Geoff is Awesome! Thank you for the pack breaking of the select football. You are a true inspiration to the hobby keep up the good work. 🤙🏽

[@pw2051]

This is how you deduct your vacation as a work expense.

[@mattmorris3693]

Geoff out here on a real vacation, nice work as usual. Always first class.

[@duckangelfan]

Paula seems like a great person. Hope good things for her

[@joshuawray566]

I used to go to Paulas store and Best of the Best when I was stationed in Hawaii. Love both shops!

[@robertmiles6805]

You right it is PARADISE! Thank you for the video Geoff!

[@tracybriones9100]

Very neat video tour of Hawaii's sports card scene 👏👏👏 I genuinely enjoyed that and hearing the ladies story

[@KolektorPh]

Thanks for sharing your vacation Geoff! Enjoy the rest of it and safe flight back! 😀

[@SpursCards21]

[@jgkayakfishing]

One of your best interviews with Paula! Positive vibes from start to finish.

[@NYC-SA-Mike]

I always enjoy the review of LCS's. The owners seemed very friendly. Thanx for sharing!

[@_fishingtales8262]

Paula’s sports card shop is a walk in museum! Her sealed cases of product in extraordinary.

[@cincyrider]

"ACL tear away"... poor Acuna Jr.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

[@jojowaterloo]

Great video! Crazy there were 46 stores in Hawaii in the 80's! When I go I'm definitely stopping by one of the remaining 8. Cal and Paula seem super cool.

[@jeffersonammon6823]

I'm headed to Hawaii in 2 weeks and was wondering where I could look for wax. I will be stopping by both of these places. Great video

Awesome! Wish I knew you were in town! I just had spine surgery, so haven’t been able to check out Paula’s store! First place I bought a box of football cards, Certified 2016! Cost was ok, it was better than EBay at the time (shipping)…got my PC hits (Dak, Zeke)! Mahalo for checking out Honolulu, Hawaii! 🤙🏽🙏🏽

[@jackscanlaniii7337]

Ay man Calvin is the besttttttt. Can’t believe I’m seeing him on ur channel now!!! Chhheeeee hoooooo

[@thaddeus4444]

Would support Paula’s shop - no masks - go Paula !!

[@peterthao840]

Awesome video!! Will have to visit Paula's and the other LCS when I'm in Hawaii.

[@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559]

Paula is smart... "Don't get high on your own supply"! That's amazing that she refused to touch her own wax. She seems like such a fantastic person.

[@franciscoarevalo1783]

I saw you at Aulani at the slides with your kids and than at the restaurant next to Aulani with your wife the following day. I was going to say hello but I didn't want to bother you in vacation. I will check out this card stores while I am here.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Yep that was me! :) I hope you have a great trip!

[@edppm59]

Best of the best once was around the corner from my home, I started going there when I was 8. Continued to go to their store as they moved to their following two locations.

[@crash009er]

Thank you for giving us collectors in the 808 some love. Especially the local shops that have struggled over the pandemic. P.S. Loosen the Shaka and turn it around👍

[@gregthomas82]

Excellent insight! Thank you!

[@drew803sc5]

Just went to Paula’s for the first time today and she showed me the video of you being there! Love the shop, love the vibes, and Paula is awesome 🤩

Geoff...did you try the huli huli chicken, spicy ahi poke and Hawaiian-Portuguese malasadas from Leonard's Bakery?🌺 I remember in the 80's and 90's collecting numismatic coins and sports cards in Hawai'i/O'ahu was very popular...surfing too.🏝🏄‍♂️ 🌈Aloha and Mahalo for this video!😃🤙

[@BigC-llectablesVeveNFT]

[@philiprobbins8089]

I remember purchasing 2 mint Juzam Djinn arabian nights cards from Paula's decades ago for $100/each; they had amazing singles in mint condition back in the day

[@michaelkays9517]

awesome video dude !!!!!!

[@alfredomendoza4780]

i remember back in the early 90's vacationing from guam to hawaii and always making it a point to stop by Jelly's to buy boxes of cards. then fly to maui to get some guri-guri ice cream. fun times. i don't think they're around anymore though.

[@montana01]

I'm pretty sure my LCS has about less than 5% of what those stores offer, and typically get stock on Weds and mostly sold out by Friday.

[@josephsciascia217]

Always wanted to visit Hawaii

[@hawaiiactionfigureguy4847]

Hope you enjoyed your stay. Aloha 🤙🏽

[@VanNguyen-bb1ig]

This is my favorite video

[@alexq1040]

[@SwaggyS1]

Geoff ripped packman off
