Geoff opened a sick shop man I can only WISH San Jose had one nearly as big and the hobby is big enough for it to survive here considering every football and basketball product is always gone from the shelf’s
His slabs are priced for people exactly like me !! Not a lot of money but would love to get some slabs. I do not even collect basketball but even I would get that Kobe rookie !! Do they have a website? If so, I would love to go there and check out the cards. I never collected slabbed cards. Till one day I saw a Alan Trammel DNA auto and the rest is history. You even took off %50 of the price !!! Now I have a million Miggy slabs ( all graded 10) I have a PSA 9 of his rookie. I have a lot of Tigers slabbed too. These cards were given to me as gifts from my epic subscribers !! Never ever went to a livestream but I would goto thiers for sure !! I have a ton of Alverez rookies that I am holding onto. I dont collect hockey but I would of taken that McDavid Young Guns for sure. im sorry my comment was a book. Lots of great cards though. Loved this vlog, thanks for sharing !!
When the plastic (grading) costs more than the value of a raw card, you should not be buying those slabs. That is junk slabs, which will be stacked next to the junk wax eventually.
@@theboringchannel2027not everyone is trying to flip them or cash out big in the future. At those prices people can get their favorite players for their PC
I went to Cards HQ on Thursday for the Grand Opening. Incredible prices like you said. I bought an Ohtani rookie slab for only $5. There are deals there. Keep up the good work Mojo!
@@theboringchannel2027 you do realize there are people who like collecting cards cuz they like the cards/players, right? When you spend $5 for a card you like, you aren't worried about the value of that card.
Ngl I’m actually very impressed with this shop, I was worried he wouldn’t be able to price cards competitively enough but he seems to be priced %90-105 which is great for a card shop, especially one as nice as this one. I really hope this shop works out for Geoff
finding a sustainable way of buying cards and slabs for collectors here in Europe without having to pay outrageously for customs would be a game changer for Card HQ. All the best of luck and respect for the work and investment put behind !
As an owner of three pop culture/card stores, that all sell J Poke cards for the past 5 years, can tell you, it wouldn't survive, even in a major metro area. Just like this store won't be around in a couple of years.
@@theboringchannel2027 Hi Card stores in japan are the same. Similar displays, live selling, breaks it was probly the inspiration. There is psa branch in japan so .Similar model. store buys from breaks or public, grades, sell. Whats missing is bulk blocks and single
I moved from ATL to Redding , CA 4 years ago and my nephew re introduced me into the hobby. Now we have one of the best shops in ATL!? What! That’s amazing will def be going by when I go home. Love the content Mojo
Paused the video for a second.. already I have goosebumps.. honestly wish I could reach that store but... jay... April.. TORONTO SHOW AGAIN BRO..I missed ya November.. hope to see ya there man.. you know... buying those thousand dollar boxes lol😊
He did it so you didn't have to hunch over a table. It's far easier to look up and down. Why you think Walmart or any store does it the same way? I guess you know best
@@jcbuckeye I do. And yes he said they were gonna be like the ones in Japan. These ones are trash and missing the main component of the riser which keeps you from having to get on your knees to look at a PSA 8 Jeff Green rookie for $7
They likely didn't use risers due to security/theft reasons. If you make them higher, obstructs the view, which then makes it easier for people to shoplift. Has a tiny amount of his 14,000 sq ft dedicated to showcases for cards, and in those showcases, the cards are spread out a considerable distance from each other, so they either lack inventory to fill the cases or are basically idiots. Selling slabs for $15 out of showcases is NOT a profitable business model.
People really hate on Geoff. I like his content, i enjoyed my visit to the shop, and prices were good. Picked up a couple of things foe the PC. Best of luck to them
Mojo thats for saying whats up to my kid at the Chantilly card show. He just started collecting and watches your channel so he was so happy to even get a hi from you lol
PSA must have hooked up CardsHQ with some unreal bulk pricing in exchange for PR, because otherwise selling slabs at those prices wouldn't make any business sense. What a shop. Looking forward to one of those live strolls down the aisle and picking something up!

To be honest I don't think that store will be open in 3-5 yrs personally or it will be at a much much much smaller location. Should of stuck to the online and said to hell with all that overhead. Stupid investment for a roller coaster if a ride hobby
Overhead is small. Like a Big Lots didn't even carpet the place. Air conditioning will be biggest overhead. Property tax cheap in ga about 1.5 per cent as opposed to about 5 per cent in midwest (chicago) Baseball card industry has been around for over 50 years, no going away.

Guys I am not talking about the zapper zapping. Smh ... So guy 1 has cards in his hands and guy 2 has his cards walking around. Guy 1 gets zapped ..... Guy 2 doesn't .... How does anyone else in the store know which guy was or wasn't zapped? What keeps guy 2 from just walking out? Is there someone at the door to check the cards with another zapper? If so, that just nullifies the allegedly quick purchase theory.
@@paulmouradjian6045 you have to checkout with an employee. For the sake of content we had the showcases unlocked and it was a little more relaxed. You would choose the slabs and the person helping u would be at the front with your slabs
@@paulmouradjian6045 I didn't watch the whole video. Was not aware of the quick purchase feature, to save 15 seconds and 20 feet of walking to the register. So observant Guy 3 watching YT videos will go to the store, and shop like Guy #2 get zapped buy not pay immediately, and Guy 3 will select a dozen $10-15 slabs and a nice $3-5k card for his pile, then go over to the social area and sit down to check out his cards, stream about them maybe, kill some time. Then he will pocket the 3-5k card while he did his social stuff, and pay for the remaining cheap slabs at the register and walk out with his receipt in hand, and the $16 hr guy at the door will smile and say thank you, come again.
We can’t really trust the influencers you guys are always gonna get hooked up the best to get us non influencers to come in and thinking it’ll be like that for everyone. Everyone is gonna be a Angel when there’s a camera in there face these days. I like you tho jay I do feel like you are one of the rare genuine influencers but I hear of a lot of shops being completely different people when there’s no camera in there face
Do you really think he's going to Go through every card the next day and change the sleeve The u p c And the price in the system for every card? This is the dumbest theory I Have seen twice on this thread
@@jcbuckeyeyea that theory you just made up is very dumb. I never said that you did. I’m saying just they are gonna be on there best behavior when influencers are around and when there’s a camera. Did dumbing it down for you help?
So why did you pay sales tax??? You are a dealer and surely have a sales tax license at home. Plus I am sure he would sell to you at a dealer discount.
"sales tax license" from state A, does not exempt you from sales tax in state B, need to file for a temp certificate in state B. Buying items for PERSONAL use with your resale certificate is a violation of tax laws.
@@mojo_sports Well I realize you are young and not too experienced. Just wanted to help save you money. If you do have a "sales tax permit" from state A you simply sign a document which all retailers should have (georgia I believe Form S-5) which just takes your permit number from your state and exempts you from paying sales tax. I realize at shows no one pays but this enables wholesale transactions. Don't believe me I have only been buying throughout the country in coins/stamps and baseball cards since 1973. Ever see Jeff Wilson say oh yeah I need to pay you sales tax on this wholesale purchase when at a show?
The vertical display cases are an improvement over the flat display cases in traditional card shops, but they pail in comparison to the display cases in Japanese trading card stores in both the type of vertical display as well as the vast quantity of cards in each case. It seemed like all of the cards were graded, so if they included raw cards, they shouldn't have a problem filling the cases. It will be interesting to see how it looks six months down the road. Geoff should jump on Mojo's offer to stay overnight for marketing for his store and building a relationship with a sports card influencer who actually seems to love cards and the people around them.
When a partner/manager knows very little about the product they are selling, that is not a good sign. When a business has the owner/manager inventorying slabs, a $15-20 hr job for an employee to do, there is something very wrong with the process/management of the store, and suggests a whole range of other issues exist. Two big red flags when it comes to potential success.
@@mojo_sports Daily expenses are $3-5k for that location, as a three store owner, 3500-8000 sq ft, collectibles/cards, I have a strong basis to comment. He has ZERO chance of turning a profit on the brick and mortar, he has about half his retail floor dedicated to non revenue generating social activities, that is insane. The amount of showcases for the sales space is minimal, and thus the amount of product displayed is not enough to offer the potential to generate enough sales to cover expenses. Add in the wide spacing between each card to take up space in the showcase, same can be seen for everything else on the walls. Lots of space between relatively small amount of merchandise. They either lack inventory or had a terrible merchandiser layout the store for them. My smallest store 3,500 sq ft , low 7 figures in sales, has about 3x or more inventory this 14k store does, and probably a merchandise value exceeding what he does (minus any 20k cards that will rarely ever sell) and my daily expense for this store is about $1,200 No way he can generate the revenue necessary with his current inventory to pay the bills, and likely not enough even as cash flow to just pay the bills. His is going to rely HEAVILY online for his profits, another segment of the market that is being squeezed for profitability as well. He probably gets some big corporate help to give him a chance, but in the end, the numbers will just not work out, and this location will close. How long depends on how much they got to keep on losing every month to keep it alive, hopefully BTC goes up so crypto bro owner can keep on financing it.
@@mojo_sports PS> when the owner/manager know very little to nothing about the product they are selling, that could be a little issue at some point. When a store has the owner/manager entering slabs into inventory as his job, and brags about it, a job for the $15-20 hr employee, there are SERIOUS structural issues with the business management, and likely many many more as well. If one of my store managers spent his time entering inventory into the system, they would no longer be a store manager for me.

so doing it in volume, does not help.
@@theboringchannel2027 It will if he is paying 10 bucks for them. He will make his money on card breaks. Buy a box don't sell for 20 per cent profit break it to people and make 30-40 percent profit. Card HQ and casino.
Pause again.. poor Ryan... his head must be spinning!
. He deserves a shop closed for the day.. Ryan is shopping!.. jesus.. big up Ryan!
How does anyone know if the card is purchased or not if you are zapping them in the aisle? What?!
because when you ask your zapper to zap it for you, it will show sold on his zapper and you don't get it.
The zapper zaps it and takes it out of the system
Guys I am not talking about the zapper zapping. Smh ... So guy 1 has cards in his hands and guy 2 has his cards walking around. Guy 1 gets zapped ..... Guy 2 doesn't .... How does anyone else in the store know which guy was or wasn't zapped? What keeps guy 2 from just walking out? Is there someone at the door to check the cards with another zapper? If so, that just nullifies the allegedly quick purchase theory.
@@paulmouradjian6045 you have to checkout with an employee. For the sake of content we had the showcases unlocked and it was a little more relaxed.
You would choose the slabs and the person helping u would be at the front with your slabs
@@paulmouradjian6045 I didn't watch the whole video. Was not aware of the quick purchase feature, to save 15 seconds and 20 feet of walking to the register.
So observant Guy 3 watching YT videos will go to the store, and shop like Guy #2 get zapped buy not pay immediately,
and Guy 3 will select a dozen $10-15 slabs and a nice $3-5k card for his pile,
then go over to the social area and sit down
to check out his cards, stream about them maybe, kill some time.
Then he will pocket the 3-5k card
while he did his social stuff,
and pay for the remaining cheap slabs at the register
and walk out with his receipt in hand,
and the $16 hr guy at the door will smile and say thank you, come again.
W vid
🤮
We can’t really trust the influencers you guys are always gonna get hooked up the best to get us non influencers to come in and thinking it’ll be like that for everyone. Everyone is gonna be a Angel when there’s a camera in there face these days. I like you tho jay I do feel like you are one of the rare genuine influencers but I hear of a lot of shops being completely different people when there’s no camera in there face
These prices were available for anybody
Do you really think he's going to Go through every card the next day and change the sleeve The u p c And the price in the system for every card? This is the dumbest theory I Have seen twice on this thread
Not applicable here, but I think your point about different behaviors when in front of a camera definitely applies to dealers at card shows.
Influencers will always get better treatment in general in these card shops.
@@jcbuckeyeyea that theory you just made up is very dumb. I never said that you did. I’m saying just they are gonna be on there best behavior when influencers are around and when there’s a camera. Did dumbing it down for you help?
Bruh
i know :D
Lies, according to google reviews everything is overpriced.
i mean in the video did ya like the prices? thought it wasnt bad
@Camaraa - Quit crying wimp.
Lot of those reviews never entered the shop. Geoff has a lot of haters.
Ppl lie on reviews, go find out for yourself, and don't believe everything you read.
@Camaraa- Stop crying
So why did you pay sales tax??? You are a dealer and surely have a sales tax license at home. Plus I am sure he would sell to you at a dealer discount.
"sales tax license" from state A,
does not exempt you from sales tax in state B,
need to file for a temp certificate in state B.
Buying items for PERSONAL use with your
resale certificate is a violation of tax laws.
I’m not a resident or business in Georgia. I have to pay sales tax outside of Cali
Nailed it bro.
@@mojo_sports Well I realize you are young and not too experienced. Just wanted to help save you money. If you do have a "sales tax permit" from state A you simply sign a document which all retailers should have (georgia I believe Form S-5) which just takes your permit number from your state and exempts you from paying sales tax. I realize at shows no one pays but this enables wholesale transactions. Don't believe me I have only been buying throughout the country in coins/stamps and baseball cards since 1973. Ever see Jeff Wilson say oh yeah I need to pay you sales tax on this wholesale purchase when at a show?
Is weed legal in Georgia? Combine the store as cards and weed,
The vertical display cases are an improvement over the flat display cases in traditional card shops, but they pail in comparison to the display cases in Japanese trading card stores in both the type of vertical display as well as the vast quantity of cards in each case. It seemed like all of the cards were graded, so if they included raw cards, they shouldn't have a problem filling the cases. It will be interesting to see how it looks six months down the road. Geoff should jump on Mojo's offer to stay overnight for marketing for his store and building a relationship with a sports card influencer who actually seems to love cards and the people around them.
That's ok because Geoff stole it first with people's tax money funding his loans.
Geoff Wilson off-script is so cringe.
This is a basically an infomercial. Geoff is a cancer on the hobby.
Did you guys Spoon??
I love your videos
dudeeeee i love you. thank u for that
When a partner/manager knows very little about the product they are selling,
that is not a good sign.
When a business has the owner/manager inventorying slabs,
a $15-20 hr job for an employee to do,
there is something very wrong with the process/management of the store,
and suggests a whole range of other issues exist.
Two big red flags when it comes to potential success.
U can tell these guys never played sports
Going out of business sale in two years or so
will be epic
why do u think that
@@mojo_sports Daily expenses are $3-5k for that location,
as a three store owner, 3500-8000 sq ft, collectibles/cards,
I have a strong basis to comment.
He has ZERO chance of turning a profit on the brick and mortar,
he has about half his retail floor dedicated to non revenue generating
social activities, that is insane.
The amount of showcases for the sales space is minimal,
and thus the amount of product displayed is not enough to
offer the potential to generate enough sales to cover expenses.
Add in the wide spacing between each card to take up space in the showcase,
same can be seen for everything else on the walls. Lots of space between relatively small amount of merchandise.
They either lack inventory or had a terrible merchandiser layout the store for them.
My smallest store 3,500 sq ft , low 7 figures in sales,
has about 3x or more inventory this 14k store does,
and probably a merchandise value exceeding what he does
(minus any 20k cards that will rarely ever sell)
and my daily expense for this store is about $1,200
No way he can generate the revenue necessary with his current
inventory to pay the bills, and likely not enough even as cash flow
to just pay the bills.
His is going to rely HEAVILY online for his profits,
another segment of the market that is being squeezed
for profitability as well.
He probably gets some big corporate help to give him a chance,
but in the end, the numbers will just not work out,
and this location will close.
How long depends on how much they got to keep on losing
every month to keep it alive,
hopefully BTC goes up so crypto bro owner can keep on
financing it.
@@mojo_sports PS> when the owner/manager know very little to nothing about the product they are selling, that could be a little issue at some point.
When a store has the owner/manager entering slabs into inventory as his job, and brags about it, a job for the $15-20 hr employee,
there are SERIOUS structural issues with the business management,
and likely many many more as well.
If one of my store managers spent his time entering inventory
into the system, they would no longer be a store manager for me.
