  First impressions are key, as most will tell you. Mine? 50/50. PROS: The gentleman running the shop, Justin I believe, was welcoming, straightforward and attentive. I like him, seemed like an ok dude. He has very nice single cards with your average or expected price. He will work you if buying multiples or a box break. The shop is interesting, with a spot in the back to rip and enjoy your breaks. It is also a very large shop, which leads me into the.... CONS: The place is empty other than the aforementioned singles and a short wall of hats? The name of the store and the overwhelming size will tell you that you are walking into a gold mine of sports cards. Rather, you will find what seems to be a “Lids” store that is going out of business. Like I said, Justin was super welcoming and seemingly a good dude. But if you have to tell me “Hey man, come on in, we're open even though it doesn't look like it.”..... That is a bad sign. Empty shelves, with cases of boxes ripped including the wax packs shredded all over the floor. Looked like wrappers were still there from Topps Series 1. And what's up with the all the chip bags? Needless to say, it was a an empty product, mess filled hat store. They had absolutely ZERO baseball box breaks. Nothing older or newer. No complete sets etc. I am talking NO options at all but the singles. That's odd to me to have a store of that size and location for it to be empty. Overall: Cool dude, potentially a cool store but currently is not that. Clean and stock the place and I would definitely go back.

  The guy that runs the shop, Justin is awesome to work with, he's super knowledgeable, fair and honest. They have the absolute best prices on boxes, cases, accessories, singles and/or packs, and not just in the area, but anywhere I've looked, including the internet! Hands down the best hobby shop in Pittsburgh, and most likely beyond. Out of all the local shops, and I've been to them all, this is by far the best one, and will always be my "Go-To". Very highly recommend. Thanks as always!
