wow this shop looks incredible congrats to Geoff on this!

[@DanSurprise]

I'm a Singaporean and it really excites me to see Geoff's dreams come true. We don't have a huge card-collecting community in Singapore, but it is slowly growing. It is so heart warming to see people just hanging out in the store. I hope one day I can be there at the store, to make some friends and just talk about cards.

[@ClarenceSF4]

Singaporean here as well, Our community is growing slowly but surely! Maybe in the future Singapore might be the next S.E.A location for CardsHQ 😄

[@thedistanttraveler6561]

Singaporean here as well. We have a healthy pokemon tcg community but not sports cards

[@krystaldiamonds5145]

shoves the kid out of the way, "hold on, they got a big hit??!!" Maybe he heard 4 or 5: "Lets GO'(s)!!!"

[@card_zar]

Even with all the hate, you keep pressing forward to help change the hobby for the better! Keep grinding and even if this endeavor doesn't pan out, you've made some moves that will make a difference in how we look at hobby shops!

[@jcbuckeye]

If you notice ALL the haters are guys that didn't fit in well in high school. The guys that had to act like they are smarter than everyone and that's why they don't fit in. None of them ever have the nuts to let the people they trash have a real face to face with them.

[@SportsCardInvestor]

Thank you!

[@GambitZ420]

@@jcbuckeyeallot of it is jealousy, comes with every business , business is cutthroat and seems to mainly be about enticing people into buying stuff it’s just the world we live in every one is freinds with customers until they have no money and then they are ignored , 99% of the haters are broke and don’t understand the world we live in

[@aarongrant2024]

Amen!

[@melvinsmiley5295]

I love your modern insight to the importance of the online sales which will help supplement the high costs of keeping a physical store going. Ingenious!!! It was really cool seeing your family and how much they support you. You are truly a blessed man. Congratulations on everything!

[@Tolandruth]

making everything digital is way to go. One of my local stores has everything in store listed on a site and you can check on pc in store. So much easier than going through bins to look.

[@cosmickid11]

its smart, amazon and netflix destroyed entire industries through offering services online. RIP blockbuster.

[@1997CARDSxx]

His daughter “it’s from da wholeee family” over and over sooo adorable ❤️

[@mattrosenstein1815]

As someone who has grown up in Atlanta area, interested in tcg playing and collecting since I was a kid, this was one of my favorite shops to enter in a long time. 1. The employees helping with trade ins and sales had great knowledge of the cards, and if you go in looking to, they give incredible trade in value (about 20-40% higher than other stores in the area). 2. They have an incredible selection on not only sports, but other tcgs such as pokemon, yugiho, one piece, etc. 3. The experience of getting to watch as many openings as you can (depending on how many people are ripping for whatnot in their private booths) allows you to watch people pull the grails we all want, while experiencing the authentic reaction of excitement someone gets as they pull that grail. If you are in Georgia and love the hobby, I absolutely recommend checking this shop out.

[@sjspatriotspc]

Shop looks amazing man, love the positivity you bring to the hobby keep doing great things

[@mikejersey7214]

Community and experience. Great to see this being valued at your shop!

[@comebackcardcollector]

Love the family interaction. The fact that your wife had the biggest smile of anybody means you must be doing something right. Dream shop for sure. Hope you all bring liquidity to the hobby, a lot of collectors have cards to sell but feel stuck.

[@jimmybcards]

Thanks for all the hard work you have been doing for this hobby!! Keep it up!!!

[@michaelshark1]

Thank you for taking the hobby to the next level and look forward to one day traveling to Atlanta to go to your store and then visit the Atlanta Aquarium. Also thank you for what you do for the kids in the hobby.

[@ericonly]

I ve watch so many videos and just learned how new the store is. Congrats.

[@xerxesescobar2598]

I look at your videos and you look like a honest man and humble to well deserve. salute

[@kembasnap6520]

One of the best card shop! You let the hobby so alive!❤

[@user-pp8ly2wn6t]

What a brilliant video. Great advice, simple and practical.

[@travmaster7003]

I'm genuinely happy for Geoff mann, through all the haters & other media sources tryna knock this brutha down w/ whatever will stick negatively to this man's name in the public eye, this shop opening is dedicated to all those haters especially, Geoff, my mann if u actually see this comment brutha we dont know 1 another but I been w/ u since the days when u would post countdowns on KZbin for when sports card investor KZbin channel was going to go live, it doesn't seem that long ago but it's been roughly 5 maybe 5 1/2 yrs since then brutha, congrats on your new opening I really am happy for u bro, I know they been hating, & u have persevered through every knuck & cranny of it all, all this said I want to leave u with something for the backburnner..... "u kill a roach with raid, u kill a hater by getting paid" fucc the haters as long as u are getting they gonna throw shade my mann, if u made it this far thank u for staying with me on what I wanted to share with u & congrats again mann CON-GRAD-U-A-TION'S ONCE AGAIN, GOD BLESS !

[@Drew-qs1lt]

Congrats on the opening 🎉 wish I could visit but I’m excited what the future brings 🙌🏻

[@evana6689]

Liked and subscribed just based on the passion for the hobby alone. People like you are why these hobbies are so great. It doesn't matter if its sports cards, fishing, fitness, miniature gaming, sewing, deep sea diving, the people who put in the hours, sacrifice, commit, honour the hobbies and promote the growth are the reason casuals like myself can dip in and out and find happiness and contentment. That mental break from life and work is necessary for all of us, so thanks for all of it. And if you turn a profit in the process you damn well deserve it so nobody better be hating on the 'business' side of things. If you are then you might as well get mad at Kellogs when you buy a box of cereal or the power company when you flick your lights on. Also as a side note, beautiful family, congrats man. If you take nothing else away from this, 20:37 time stamp take a look at the way your wife is looking at you. Greatest reward you could ask for right there.

[@GProLegacy]

I appreciate the transparency and approach with your Journey truly inspiring KEEP IT UP me & my cru will swing by and support the community soon! 🙌🔥🙌

[@cmoodie]
