THE GREAT CARD CHASE II HAS BEGUN!
Alex enjoyed growing up in the
Going back to 1982, Alex and his best friend Mike bought all of their cards at Valley Baseball Cards. They would ride their bikes to Valley Baseball Cards at least once or twice a week. Alex spent many days hanging out at the store, looking through cards, sitting outside on the curb with Mike opening packs or building sets with the original owner, Max Himmelstein.
Alex with Mike, back at the Baseball Card Shop!
Back then Alex loved baseball cards but he never dreamed that someday he would get a chance to own the baseball card shop that he knew so well.
In 2006 Alex was hired as the Manager of Valley Baseball Cards and spent months learning the business & completely organizing the inventory. In 2007 Alex was offered the chance
to purchase the store, and the rest was history...
and a lot of work.
Since then Alex has worked hard to make the store a success, and at the same time keep the nostalgia that Valley Baseball Cards is known for. Last year Alex had the store remodeled to make room for a state of the art framing area.
After spending 20 years as an artist & professional framer, Alex has finally found the perfect blend of the work he loves and the hobby he always enjoyed.
Why did the name of the store change?
Baseball was always the 'King of the Industry' during the vintage years of card collecting but in recent years basketball, hockey & football have become equally prevalent. Although we strive to maintain the feeling of the old store people often misunderstood the name and thought that the shop did indeed sell 'just baseball cards'.
Come visit your card shop of 'Yesteryear' & spend it with someone who has enjoyed it also, all of these years. We invite you to visit, we hope you enjoy our store.
Welcome to our friendly family business!
Come by and meet Alex, Lona & Trevor!
