The sports card industry boomed during the Covid-19 pandemic. phoenix
By Kaitlyn Parohinog – Cronkite NewsRip Valley, a sports card and collectibles shop, recently opened for business in the downtown Arts District on Roosevelt Row, but the shop’s owners envision a space that is much more than another sports card store.
The online auction website eBay reported that $2 million worth of trading cards were sold on their site in 2020 alone. However, Rip Valley offers spaces for customers to open packs, including a lounge area and a conference table behind a wall of opened card boxes. The store also features a wall of memorabilia, sneakers and apparel that customers can browse.
Rip Valley focuses on getting everyone involved in the hobby, and many past collectors were reintroduced to the hobby during the pandemic.
