I'm not a 100% sold on this new 3mililon card shop but I think 🤔🧐 they can be the Walmart of the card industry witch with me getting back in to collecting I truly think we are watching the beginning of a card franchise store like Walmart for good or for bad
Yea it revolutionized the area of Georgia he is in, but anyone outside a two hour drive of the building is not affected by his business. I’m not paying money to get there, period. If I’m in the area for work or whatever I will make the trip to check it out.
I live about 20 minutes north of Cards HQ. I went by on Sunday at about 11:30. Wasn’t dead, but wasn’t busy either. You guys are 100% correct. 1) If it was a 2000 sq/ft store it would be fine. At 14,000 it looked empty. 2) It’s a pain in the ass to get someone to get a $15 slab out of the case. Pricing was competitive and I picked up a couple vintage slabs. Also… if there was ever a sign that we are in the “Junk Slab Era” this store is it. If I see another Eloy Jimenez PSA 10 rookie I might throw up.
As someone who has not been there. I speculate he’s putting every slab they own in those cases just to fill them. There’s no other reason to have a $15 slab behind glass other than to take up space so it doesn’t look empty
@@zachpierce641, pretty much. And the wait time to get into said cases wasn’t helped by the fact that about half of the people in the store were trying to sell their cards. So 3 sales reps were there handling those customers and there was quite the line of sellers there
I am a time traveler from the year 2093. I can say that Market Movers replaced the New York Stock Exchange and the U.S. recarved the Lincoln Memorial into Geoff Wilson's likeness for his contributions to retail. Going back now to 2093. Byeeeee!
The idea of a sportscard superstore was done in the early 90s at the end of that boom and that didn't last long at all. Cards HQ is just history repeating itself.
Super Bowl Night will be the start of losing QB eBay messages like, "My kid bought it without my permission," "it has damage and would like a partial payment," along with " It didn't arrive."
I personally don’t believe Geoff is going to put in the sweat equity that a guy like Rob Veres at Burbank does. Geoff seems like a banker ceo who believes he can work from home most days and maybe show up at the shop 2-3 days a week for a couple of hours. If he’s not putting in 60-80 hours a week especially in the first 6-9 months I don’t see Cards HQ having even the slightest chance of success and keeping the doors open more than two years without hemorrhaging money
The city of Atlanta has a large black population but I think is no longer Majority black. Also Cards HQ is in Cobb County (not Fulton or Dekalb Counties which are the counties that contain the City of Atlanta) which is 27% black / 51% white and adjacent to the north side of Atlanta which is heavily white. Much of the black population of the city is on the south side.
i saw a review comment somebody made about sports card HQ and geoff wilson allegedly had put down a strict “no haggling” policy ‘……. how are you going to have a card shop and not allow anyone to haggle a little for bulk buys or “big” buys…that is a part of the culture!
I like tag. I like tag for the exact reason he said nobody does lol I wanna know exactly what and how my cards are graded and appropriate that it’s completely unbiased
Why can’t Geoff just open a shop like a normal person? He tries so hard to say the right things, talking about the different shops that he visited. Talking about Burbank, and taking their advice., but then has to throw in that he’s the future of retail . Come on lol
You can't really trust online reviews anymore. Businesses will pay for, or have people post phony reviews... so you have to do a little research to tell if they're legit.
I was the head of the reporting department of a bank, I had to listen to some of the new business managers talk so much rubbish and try to paint a positive picture. They could have a terrible month or quarter and would make out things are great. Geoff is exactly the same as those people I spoke to every day.
Card HQ looks like it would be a fun face to visit but, I don’t think it will thrive in its current format. I could be wrong. I would’ve set it up more as the world’s largest perpetual card show. Rent out space within the store to dealers and, charge them extra for inventory management. Or let them send cards and sell them for a %, without a space rental. More of a physical COMC than a trading card Walmart. That’s just me though.
The whole comic book grading industry is more of a joke than card grading. It's the fact that CGC offers a service to press and clean the comic book prior to grading the book. This is basically similar to card trimming and Kurt's card care.
Trimming & color touch should always get a green label. What annoys me the most about cgc is the preferential treatment variant cover retailers get. It's always their variant covers that get 9.9's and 10's. ComicTom, BTC, etc.. I'm glad for acetategate because that made them all look like clowns.
Back in the 80's and 90's I can remember every city had a card shop or several card shops and local card shows monthly. Now only at the flea market and only card shows a couple times a year that are hours drive away.
Wouldn't it be easier for Geoff to have the card listed on the floor and website/ebay? When it sells on either platform, you should be able to develop a software to remove the listing by a simple barcode scan or completed purchase. Perfect scanned images. Most card shops use this practice anyways. The R2D2 cart makes no sense to me.
PSA is NOT the biggest coin grader, just because their under the same umbrella. If PCGS had the same standards as PSA they have no credibility in the coin world. PSA standards would be lucky to be at ANACS's #4 level.
Cards HQ is either going to work, or, will be an example where it may work in one place but doesn't work here. The IRS have to be salivating over people like CC2.
It's seems if you have a voice and a microphone you can say whatever comes to your mind and ...... That's it. Nothing. Buyer beware just like listener beware. what matters to if you're dumb enough to fall for scammers than it's on you... Just like this so called sports card radio. What's the radio station your on???
I disagree with you about TAG. Of course everyone wants gem mint cards when they send in submission but if it’s not really gem mint why should it get a gem mint grade? That is called fraud! At TAG the card gets graded what the card is not what some humans opinion thinks it is. Especially if you catch a grader on a bad day than have fun with those low grades because the grader wanted to be an a hole. At TAG the grade is the card not the other way around. It is still my opinion TAG is the future of card grading. You get the grade the card deserves not the grade you feel it deserves.
I still say CC2 is the biggest phony in the hobby as there’s something about him that just doesn’t sit well with me. As for Geoff trying to revolutionize retail, can someone tell me what he is doing different?
"CardsHQ is pretty much the Taylor Swift of sportscard stores". Honestly though - I want Geoff to succeed as I know how tough it is to set-up and run any type of shop. But like someone commented earlier, he does seem a little delusional. Wish he would've toned it down a little - like hype it up but not like he just invented water. There's something about a card shop being a little smaller that I've always personally enjoyed. When you open up a costco sized card shop, to me it loses the "collectability" feeling and loses the hobby shop vibe. What I'm trying to say is .. Fleer fleer fleer fleer fleer fleer fleer fleer fleer
Only TAG has subjective grading, everything else is just branding now, but people have a lot of money invested in that branding, even if it is now inferior.
I hope Geoff crushes it. All the haters broke as shit, doing nothing with their lives except complaining about card prices. Yeah cards dropped 90% from peak, Geoff pushes on! I don't want 50% of you bashers pretending you on cards when this market rips back higher. You sold all your cards and will be on the sidelines watching winners win!
Ok. It’s weird for so many positive 5 star reviews for cards HQ in a 24 hour period. But You have to see it’s weird/suspicious to see so many negative 1 star reviews in a 24-48 hour period.
When I started watching your videos during the 2020 hype, I thought your channel was negative, BUT now that I've been watching for year's I've noticed your just telling the truth and keeping it real!! Big thanks, keep up the good work👍
He should have stuck to the online store. They have way too much overhead to turn a profit. Give it 2 years CardsHQ will either be out of business or have moved to a 1500-2000sq ft store. But my guess will be completely closed. A 4 million dollar investment in that huge store. It would take 10 years to turn a profit. Very stupid investment in my opinion
He's about 8 years too late on this. 2016 or so would of been a good time to start one to take advantage of the gradual climb for a few years and then the pandemic boom he would of made a lot. Most card values are going down daily and its too expensive to keep a card store open these days they're relics. The paintings and color choices inside look like a daycare setting. A bit creepy for a card shop I dont know what they were thinking on that.
If Geoff can use his connections and influence properly I think he might pull this off. I’ll bet they pivot at some point to make themselves more profitable. If he runs an honest business he should do ok. Revolutionizing the card business will take a ton of time, energy and money which one will run out at some point. I hope he actually pulls this off but the more I hear about the less I think he will 🎉

I’ve been watching both of your channels for about a year now and needless to say both of your contributions to the collecting community are priceless.

Cards HQ will have a honeymoon period for I would say 6 months to a year, then once the newness wears off we will see if its a sustainable business. It is hard to run any business and Geoff dove head first into 3 feet of water with this model for a card shop. I think the only way it survives is because it seems like Geoff has a good amount of new worth be it from him or his wife.
Went to CHQ twice over the weekend (once Friday and once yesterday). This is one man's opinion, but I thought it was great. Pretty much everything was priced reasonably, tons of cards and wax to choose from (not a lot of recent Panini hobby product though - MUCH retail), and customer service was great. I even sold them a few cards and got very fair pricing. I was able to get 80% of very reasonable comps for a store credit. None of this means the shop/business model is sustainable, you can do pretty much anything for a period of time if you've got upfront dollars, but if you like cards, I think it's worth checking out and agree much more with the positive Google feedback than the negative. Reviewing your own business is a bad look for sure, but what some of those negative reviews described I didn't see over about maybe 3-4 hours in the shop. Of course two varying experiences can be true at the same time.
Geoff does realize that he is opening a card store....right? I feel like Geoff tells himself such an insane amount of bullshit that he thinks it's true. "The future of retail in America" is just hilarious. I wouldn't even know about his store of the future if not for SCR.
Purdu didn’t win The Super Bowl but gave a good enough showing that his rookie cards should not get hurt that much; that is if you believe a rookie card is worth 10’s of thousands of dollars…..
Think about how Geoff and a bunch of others are gonna cry when the hobby crashes after everyone else realizes how they are being played and manipultaed by the card companies. Buying this shit they are producing nowadays is just empowering them to keep raising the prices and the market just cant sustain itself. Kinda like the government...
Out of curiosity, what card release was this weekend? The card/gaming section at the supermarket was packed with late forty year old men grabbing product off the shelves.
I’ll take anyone’s bet that Jeff Wilson’s store will be shut down in a year. The only thing he’s cutting edge on is coming up with more ways to make himself look more foolish.
One of the funniest things about this hobby to me is that it doesn't want objective, accurate grades. It just wants 10s. It's like the opposite of any well developed collectibles market where objective considerations of quality are desired.
Your point is well taken. The issue in this hobby is that every one of the 'objective/quality' opinions that are coming from these 3rd parties have all proven to be either: wrong, incompetent, scams, collusion, or any one of many other instances of these groups making a huge mistake. As you said - it is funny... because it's true.
The Leaf card isn't even a parking pass. It is the receipt for a parking pass that was to be mailed at a later date, if you read the whole thing. Insanity!
This is a genuine question - what’s the difference between what Cards HQ is doing and simply viewing an inventory list on eBay? What exactly would retailers copy? Posting their inventory online for sale? Does he think it’s better to watch a video of their inventory opposed to a specific listing where you can get exact details and zoom in on a card? The online shopping isn’t available on his website so I cannot verify. But I am truly dumbfounded by that claim.
Okay I just went and watched the interview where he discusses this in depth. Wow is it insanely idiotic. He truly believes live streaming the inventory is better than simply listing them on eBay or his own website. “We can sell to anyone in the world” Completely idiotic lol
It's not fun to listen to people b@#$ about others , it's like Facebook all over again. Don't care . Get your life's together if you don't like what the don't buy from him and don't listen just like me I will never listen to sports car radio I feel dumber after all over at least the guys trying to do something for the what is sports card radio doing for the hobby.

What’s with The Topps hat? Did Topps send the hat with card boxes filled with rare inserts? In the words of Joe Biden, “no, no,no,no,no,no……”.
Geoff does realize that he is opening a card store....right? I feel like Geoff tells himself such an insane amount of bullshit that he thinks it's true. "The future of retail in America" is just hilarious. I wouldn't even know about his store of the future if not for SCR.
Purdu didn’t win The Super Bowl but gave a good enough showing that his rookie cards should not get hurt that much; that is if you believe a rookie card is worth 10’s of thousands of dollars…..
Think about how Geoff and a bunch of others are gonna cry when the hobby crashes after everyone else realizes how they are being played and manipultaed by the card companies. Buying this shit they are producing nowadays is just empowering them to keep raising the prices and the market just cant sustain itself. Kinda like the government...
Out of curiosity, what card release was this weekend? The card/gaming section at the supermarket was packed with late forty year old men grabbing product off the shelves.
I'd way rather send things to cgc over psa.
And has anyone notices all of cards hqs positive reviews come from geoffs buisness associates
I’ll take anyone’s bet that Jeff Wilson’s store will be shut down in a year. The only thing he’s cutting edge on is coming up with more ways to make himself look more foolish.
One of the funniest things about this hobby to me is that it doesn't want objective, accurate grades. It just wants 10s. It's like the opposite of any well developed collectibles market where objective considerations of quality are desired.
Your point is well taken. The issue in this hobby is that every one of the 'objective/quality' opinions that are coming from these 3rd parties have all proven to be either: wrong, incompetent, scams, collusion, or any one of many other instances of these groups making a huge mistake. As you said - it is funny... because it's true.
I missed the one with the guy who says “sportscard radio, you should be ashamed of yourself” what flim-flam was he caught doing.
I can say that I hope Cards HQ succeeds. As taxpayers, I think we all legally own a small part of Cards HQ.
Didididididididip is the future of sports cards in America. Dipping makes sport scards popular.
Huh. Retail business print prices on the shelves and does not haggle. I think he may have it backwards.
As everything geoffy boy touches will crash in time.
it's like come on is it really a 1/1? or the truth it's just a reprint with a new boarder, and you stamped it 1/1???
Hey did you used to do videos about old mansions? Sorry for the weird question but I'm trying to place your voice. Ha
I wouldn't be surprised if a giveaway required a positive review for a chance to win.
I’m all about vibes in this video 🙂
The Leaf card isn't even a parking pass. It is the receipt for a parking pass that was to be mailed at a later date, if you read the whole thing. Insanity!
is geoff wilson smoking rock? he talking about walmart not cardshq
Cards HQ will be paying "people" or freebies to give him a good feedback lol
If you keep saying it eventually it's true..... Right?
You need to do a LIVE from cards hq!
This is a genuine question - what’s the difference between what Cards HQ is doing and simply viewing an inventory list on eBay?
What exactly would retailers copy? Posting their inventory online for sale?
Does he think it’s better to watch a video of their inventory opposed to a specific listing where you can get exact details and zoom in on a card?
The online shopping isn’t available on his website so I cannot verify. But I am truly dumbfounded by that claim.
Okay I just went and watched the interview where he discusses this in depth. Wow is it insanely idiotic. He truly believes live streaming the inventory is better than simply listing them on eBay or his own website. “We can sell to anyone in the world” Completely idiotic lol
So if I want to buy a card of a player I have to wait hours to see if they even have that player?🤦♂️
Cards HQ is the future of retail. he might be right. they are shutting down.
ehhh when you have more online sales across all industries, his shop will be closed within a few years haha
Move over Sam Walton here comes Jeff wison
Wow, Geoff sounds extremely cocky.
Im joe oralndo 😆
