Well my journey to start a card shop has finally bore fruit! After getting the Tax Id,registering the name with the state,business license and state resell license...I finally have a location!!!...With a little elbow grease and some advertisements and shelves I think it will be a great place. We will be selling all sports cards and gaming cards also sports memorabilia and jersey's etc etc...The name we chose is Trading Deadline Sports Cards. We will be setting up a trading area for kids to come on designated trade nights and trade cards...We will also have a buy/Trade section where people can bring in there stuff. There will be 2 flat screen Tv's with sports games on. there will be a card supply section. We are now building up our supplies and cards. We are ordering cases of cards to break and sell. Here is a few pics I took when i first walked in.




I will keep everyone updated!

Sounds like you have a lot of fun work ahead of you. Where is it located?

Will be looking forward to hearing updates! From what I've heard/seen on other forums, make sure to have a healthy stock of those gaming cards. Apparently they are pretty big sellers.

Thanks everyone!...Yes it is an old game stop. The location is owned by the company i work for so it didn't take long to find lol. I been working deals with companies and manufacturers to get stuff coming in....It's not easy to get into the wholesale part of the hobby...You need to give them an arm and a leg. So far Topps has been a pleasure to work with...Oh and of course my Beckett family will get discounts
