SPORTS CARDS PLUS CELEBRATES 25 YEARS IN SAME LOCATION - 2017 WILL BE SAVINGS, PRIZES & GIVE-AWAYS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS



A lover of sports history and a collector since 1957 at the age of 9, I fulfilled my dream to open a sports cards store on March 1, 1992.  Back then, there were 53 card shops in San Antonio with 18 shops within three miles of Sports Cards Plus. 

Until my retirement from my Civil Service engineering job in 2008, my wife Norma ran the shop during the week.  I worked at the shop in the evenings and on weekends. Today, my son Jeff and I share responsibilities at the store with our goal to make Sports Cards Plus a complete and fulfilling entertainment experience for all sports collectors.

I remember scanning weak radio singles at night trying to pick-up any baseball game that came across my radio.  I always looked forward to Saturdays to watch the Dizzy & Pee-Wee broadcast of "The Game of The Week" on our brand new 12" Black and White TV.

I saw John Unitas, Raymond Berry and Allen Ameche will the Colts to an overtime victory in the 1958 NFL Championship Game and became a Baltimore Colts fan.  I saw Lew Burdette, Warren Spahn, and Hank Aaron provide the heroics in the 1957 World Series and became a Milwaukee Braves fan.  I saw the amazing ball handling of Bob Cousy and the dominance of rookie Bill Russell (32 rebounds in game 7) in the 1957 NBA Championship Game 7 Double Overtime win and became a Boston Celtics fan until 1973 brought the ABA Spurs to San Antonio.

I sold cards at shows since the early eighties and in 1992 we opened Sports Cards Plus in our current shopping center with a modest inventory of $20,000 in singles and wax boxes. Thanks to the greatest customers in the hobby, we won the 2015 Panini America NBA Hobby Shop Makeover for selling the most NBA Basketball cards in the entire United States during the month of February 2015.
