A new sports card shop has just opened its doors in Boerne, lling a niche that Owner Jason Zamora said didn’t exist before in the area. Long story short After starting his rst card collection at just seven years old, Zamora said that the hobby faded as life went on. Then, decades later, his son got into Pokémon cards—and he was back into it. “He started taking me to stores to get those cards, then I saw pretty much all of the brands that I used to collect back in the day,” Zamora said. “From there, I bought a pack, and it just never stopped.” As a result, the plans for Primetime Sports Cardz were born.

What are the options? Primetime Sports Cardz has a wide selection of new and professionally graded sports cards from all major sports leagues, including NBA, NHL, MLB, UFC, NFL and more. Zamora said there are two types of card collec- tors—people who hunt for vintage nds and others who want to get the rarest new rookie cards. “We’ll be serving the interests of everyone here,” Zamora said. For people new to card collecting, Zamora said the best thing to do is learn. “De nitely do some homework and research about the kinds of cards you want,” he said. From rookie NFL quarterbacks to legendary MLB players, Zamora said there are tons of options to choose from.
