My six year old son became interested in baseball this summer and he decided to start collecting cards. He was spending his money (and some of mine) buying retail packs at Target and getting a ton of cards but with little value.
Then we discovered Conte?s Card Castle. Mr. Conte has a deep enthusiasm for collecting cards and we have spent hours in his store learning about the nuances of the hobby. Now my son saves his money for hobby packs of Bowman Platinum and Topps Lineage and has pulled several cards that will grace his collection for years to come.
Collecting cards is the perfect father/ son activity. It enhances our knowledge of baseball, inspires my son to do yard work and provides an opportunity for me to teach him the fundamentals of economics.
My son and I are looking forward to our next trip to Conte?s card castle.
