I have been
re-introduced to football and baseball cards, and the nearby local sports card
shop, called Sports Card Junction, which happens to be by my house.
My grandson, Matthew
and his father, usually go to this store. My son has been collecting cards
since he was a little kid, and now his son is interested in collecting the
cards himself. My grandson has even bought me a few football cards of my favorite
team, The Cleveland Browns. I guess we do have this connection of sports cards,
along with books, writing and blogging.
The other day, on my
way home from work, I saw the card shop and decided to check the place out for
myself. It is a small shop with two rooms; a small entry way with sports
memorabilia and a larger room with sports photos hanging on the walls, and
cards – lots and lots of cards in the glass cases, and other cards filed
alphabetically in boxes on the counters.
I can see why my
grandson likes this store. For an almost 12-year-old sports card collector, it
would be like a candy addict let loose in a candy store.
The owner was friendly
enough and we talked a little bit about cards. I actually found a few cards
while I was in the shop that I wanted and purchased as a gift for my grandson.
I was glad that I finally found the card shop and went into it. But the next
time that I go, I’m taking my grandson with me for a different type of
experience.
I really like football cards!!! From Matt.
