I did move to a new location. I still have a small store but it is not like an office like this one was.

[1connor1939]

[steinie1837]

amen to that

[bbBoxBuster93]

please do a new tour!

[jbstrojan]

Very very cool. Would like to see a tour of the new store. It's almost like watching a tour of a movie set based on all the videos I've watched of yours haha.

[greaterhamdenjrob13]

where are u located??

[chri5784]

Wilmington, NC.

[eddyut]

Are the cards at your store the same price as online?

[chri5784]

No they are not. In store is more expensive then online.

[JKEARSE123]

why is that?????

[chri5784]

The online store I dont make anything at all hardly. Well in the store I have to make a living. Pay Rent, insurance, utilities and etc. I would have to sell 1000's of boxes at the price from the website to pay the bills every month.

[leeaura]

I'd think you'd have a bigger box break table 'cause it looks like its bigger in the breaks

[aceagle]

Yeah chris post a tour of your new shop. I will becoming your way maybe next month so i want to stop by and open some football. O ya I'm Canadian eh? I also want to see you guy in person trying to say the names of hockey players, It's funny lol.

[bbBoxBuster93]

could u do a tour of your new shop please? I like to see some cool shops! Thanks!

[chri5784]

I will get to it one day soon. It is just a tiny shop though. Nothing fancy.

[kovalev27c]

i wanna see your new store, and where you put ALL the boxes cuz i didint see any hockey boxes there, do you have a storage room?

[chri5784]

No I dont have a storage room. I have to keep reordering when I run out. There is no way I could keep all that stuff. I would need a warehouse :)

[sblez]

You should do a tour of your new shoppppppppp

[ASGCNB]

Hey for card operners i think it is cool that you show this store

[chri5784]

Thanks. That is my old shop though. I have since moved to a small place across town.

[bbBoxBuster93]

can we get a tour?

[jgcanux]

wow i thought it was so much bigger cuz u break so much boxes lol

[chri5784]

This is my old shop. I have a new one now. It is bigger but not much bigger :)

[jgcanux]

o cool wish i could go to ur shop seems to hav a lot of stuff ,the one i go to is so overpriced ,5 bucks for a pack upperdeck 2 hockey this year

[nascaro8fan]

chris would football box would you reccommend under 125$ thanks

[chri5784]

Absolute or Sp AUthentic football are fun to me. I guess it depends on who you pull. If you pull scrubs it sucks, if you pull big names it is fun :)

[nascaro8fan]

ok thanks chris

[EpicHornet]

Nice UNC Poster. Did you go there?

[chri5784]

I graduated from UNCW.

[caseykc18]

[JKEARSE123]

[redskinfaithful]

[chri5784]

Eventually I will.

[sampsonelectro2224]

lol i was just about to suggest a tour of shop

[chri5784]

That is my old shop. I have a new one now. Have not made a tour of it yet.

[drlaxmanjr52]

[chri5784]

Yes I do.

[drlaxmanjr52]

i would be interested in getting a set

[chri5784]

I don't have the whole set. I just have some of the singles.

[drlaxmanjr52]

[chri5784]

Most of them except the bush, holmes.

[drlaxmanjr52]

[chri5784]

[markrocks21]

[chri5784]

Hello,

I am located in WIlmington, NC. Thanks a lot.

[jorgeluna2516]

[chri5784]

I have a whole 5 row shelf full of the common cards.

[bostonsox3404]

o ok, i want to try to visit your shop on the way down to north myrtle beach but im not sure my mom will let me

[bostonsox3404]

you should make a tour of your new shop, btw nice shop, i wish i lived closer 2 your shop so i could come visit it

[chri5784]

I will eventually. I am trying to set it up the way I like first.

[jmdefrancesco]

yeah i guess the key is to find a reliable customer base online or in town... a few guys in my town closed up from lack of business. i usually head to the shows... hey thanks though ill browse your site

[chri5784]

Well I really appreciate it. Talk to you soon, Chris J.

[jmdefrancesco]

i was just wondering how you got started with the shop; i imagine that it must be a difficult business to keep steady these days

[chri5784]

Just saved the money and threw it all in the shop. Kind of a big gamble, but I like sports cards, so I did it.

[jake081091]

So you made the jersey shirt. I always wondered who did. I thought it was a great idea. How did you come up with the idea?

[chri5784]

I had just opened my new business and had very few customers. I wanted to do something that would get my name out there. Plus I thought it would look really neat. So I sat back in my office and disassembled 560 jersey cards and sewed them to a shirt.

It killed the time for 6 months and made for a nice conversation piece.

[sullivan2106]

sweet shop chris. i find it neat that don't sell individual cards. I wish I could stop by but I live in NJ lol. anyway, nice shop!

[chri5784]

It is only a 10 hour drive, see you in a few :). Do you go to the backstop, I believe he is in Jersey.

[sullivan2106]

oh yea ill shoot down to NC right now!! I havent been to the Backstop but I am indeed going to The Backstop sometime in early August when I have my week down the beach. I do not know much about The Backstop, is it a good shop??

[chri5784]

I have never been there. He is the guy that won my shirt that I made and put on Ebay. It had 560 game used jersey pieces on it.

He seems like a real nice guy and he should treat you right. I am going to have to go up and check it out one day.

[marcher173]

very cool little shop! man,i'd be over all the time if it were around the corner.

[chri5784]

Thanks a lot. Stop in sometime if you are in the area. We can shoot a box break.

[philliesnick]

Trip on the front door and hit the back wall lol funny, anyway nice shop, That's alot of free cards!Geez

[Oscar905]

Little store but very nice.

[chri5784]

[Sl4psh0ts]

HOW MUCH ARE THE 05 06 SP AUTHENTIC BOXES THAT YOU SAID YOU HAVE???

[chri5784]

[Sl4psh0ts]

[Sl4psh0ts]

[chri5784]

[Sl4psh0ts]

What kind of hockey boxes do you have there?

[chri5784]

Here is a good site. cardshopfinder is a good site to check locations in cities. ''My locations is Wilmington, NC.

[sekashi010]

Pretty interesting, thanks man.

[chri5784]

[projekt3000]

Been watching a ton of your box breaks..I love this idea. I'm a big collector myself (mainly of baseball) and I love watching these breaks live. Anyways, thanks for the tour of your shop..I live down in Georgia so I'm kind of far away..but hey, I'll try to make a trip to your shop if I can. Thanks for the tour!

[chri5784]

No problem. Swing by if you are in the area and I will video one of your breaks. Take care, Chris J.

[Sl4psh0ts]

[hbfhvbehfbvehbveb]

Yes I do sell some of the pulls from the shop on Ebay. Same handle name as here.

[rollercoaster2428]

Cool shop, I hope I can come soon!

[chri5784]

Thanks, look forward to seeing you. Take care, Chris J.

[cpayatag]

BTW, I LOVE your videos..I watch all of them.

[chri5784]

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Chris J.

[cpayatag]

Interesting. Is this your full-time gig? Any side stuff?

[chri5784]

This is it. I do this 6 days a week. I try to keep the prices reasonable... so I am not really killing it right now. But I hope in the future to have lots of regulars and do this for a long time. It's really fun and I enjoy it. What more can you ask for. Thanks, Chris J.

[toppsman]

Yeah, post the ebay ID you use. Thanks for the tour. That's a really cool little shop. I've never bought a single in a card shop anyway. I always go to bust some boxes/packs and for the occasional supply.

[chri5784]

Thanks a lot. User is same as this handle. Chris J.

[fsumatrix]

sweet little shop. where are you located?(state) and what is your ebay i.d.?? i'd like to look up your hot pulls and maybe even win one or two! thanks FSUmatrix

[chri5784]

Located in Wilmington NC. Ebay handle is the same as here. I sell a lot of cards for the customers, so you will see the actual cards from the breaks on my Ebay site. Thanks, Chris J.

[tvwatcher5000]

the doc had the shirt but then the doc was kidnapped and the shirt is still missing as we speak

[chri5784]

Wonder where it is? Maybe it is making it's way back home!

[TheBackstopDOTnet]

hmmmmmm

[loparo23]

nice tour man i want to visit the shop but i live in ohio :( o believe me i would spend like 5000 cracking boxes haha

[chri5784]

I can fly you down if you like. I am like a Casino, the whales get free plane rides and limo service!!! JK.

If you are ever in the neighborhood, swing by and I will video a couple of your breaks. Take care, Chris J.

[huero56]

Break open all your boxes!!! You know you want to :-) You seem very customer friendly. Small shop but I bet your customers are loyal. Hope you stay in business forever man.

[bluejackets47]

[chri5784]

I wish I could break them all.... that would be a blast. Thanks a lot. Chris J.
