Card Shop Of The Year – Sports Cards Plus in San Antonio
I have had the pleasure of knowing SCP’s owner Charlie DiPietro for close to two decades. He is a great family man who does a ton for his collectors. His card shop was previously recognized by winning a NBA Hobby Shop Makeover promotion. I had the pleasure of visiting Charlie’s shop before it won this opportunity and it looked great even before the $75,000 improvement prize and appearance by San Antonio’s own David Robinson.
I’m giving Charlie and his staff this recognition, because of being broken in more times than any other shop owner I know of, he continues to make taking care of his collectors his focus. This year I’ve taken delight in seeing many criminals who have broken into shops finding justice for their acts. I just hope eventually I get the same joy I seeing those who torment Charlie also get their day in court.
I’ve seen numerous promotions with on the spot cash prizes for pulling chase cards from participating products. He recently gave away $2500 to his collectors as part of a New Year’s promotion and his December prizes alone topped $5,000. It’s great to see shops go out of their way to reward their collectors and he’s seemingly always doing so.
Take a peek at the SCP Facebook page and you can see how much of a priority he make his collectors.
