Upon moving to Gainesville in 2015, Randy identified a significant gap in the market for local collectors due to the absence of nearby card shops, which were located 1.5 hours away. Our store offers a comprehensive range of services, including buying, selling, trading, and grading with PSA. We have received positive feedback from customers who express gratitude for our presence in the area. Our primary objective is to expand the hobby and provide a welcoming environment for both new and experienced collectors. We prioritize the younger generation and strive to make all feel at home in our store. As a Topps Direct Hobby Shop and Disney Lorcana OP Shop, we carry a variety of sports cards and memorabilia, such as Baseball, Basketball, Football, Soccer, Formula 1, Hockey, and Pokémon Cards. We are excited to grow our business alongside our local community.
Randy Cruce, the owner, has been an avid collector of sports cards, magazines, and memorabilia since the 1980s. Randy has always been passionate about collecting and, like many others, he rediscovered his love for it during the COVID pandemic. He has an extensive collection of cards and memorabilia that he enjoys sharing with the community. Prior to the birth of his three daughters, Randy and his wife, Joanna, used to spend their spring breaks traveling to Florida to attend Major League Baseball spring training games. During these trips, they would collect baseballs and memorabilia and seek autographs from both active and retired professional baseball players.
