Sometimes, they will only have a few packs of a product I dont really like, but I buy them anyway. Busting packs in the store takes me back to when I was a kid. I cant get that sitting on my couch. I would love for them to have more basketball, but I cant complain. They get all the new stuff on release day but a case at a time usually. I cant blame them, its a business. Me and the three other basketball guys cant supply enough demand for them to get more. They do tell me if I ever want anything special ordered to tell them, which is nice to know that they at least care about me and the Hobby.
Where/what is this shop? There is a "shop" in Greensboro...kinda. it's a nook inside a big batting cage center with only 1-2 basketball products at a time that are usually pretty marked up. I go in there to get supplies and that's it. I'd honestly be willing to drive to Charlotte at least a couple times a year for a great LCS (with the "L" admittedly a bit loosely defined).
I collect Michael Jordan, Mitch Richmond, and Ohio State players (football and basketball) in OSU gear. I strongly prefer 90's-era cards and use newer cards primarily for trade bait!
