CARDS FOR KIDS

This Holiday season, we’re inviting the public to join us in bringing smiles to children through our “Cards for Kids” initiative at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. From Tuesday, November 11th through Thursday, December 18th, sealed cards purchased by you at either of our Shop will make their way to the hospital’s Snowflake Shoppe, where parents can select gifts for their kids who are patients – all of which are free of charge.
 
As a thank you, we’re giving away over $5,000 in gifts to those who make donations. For every item you donate you’ll earn one entry into a massive raffle, with a prize pool of 50 amazing items. Winners will be drawn on Instagram Live on Monday, December 22nd.
 
We can’t wait to see our community step up to the plate to make this Holiday season special for kids who don’t get to spend it at home.

Hit Seekers Sports Card Shop to Open Second Location at Great American Ball Park for 2024 Season

Hit Seekers Sports Card Shop to Open Second Location at Great American Ball Park for 2024 Season

One of the first known card shops located in a major league stadium CINCINNATI (March 22, 2024) – Hit Seekers Sports Cards, the region’s premiere sports hobby shop, is expanding its existing partnership with the Cincinnati Reds to bring card collecting to Great American Ball Park (GABP). Card collectors of all ages, backgrounds and enthusiasm will want to visit Hit Seekers’ new location at GABP this season, the first known of its kind at a major league stadium. Expanding upon the relationship it established as an official Cincinnati Reds sponsor in 2023, Hit Seekers will add a second location to its current flagship store located in Fort Mitchell, Ky. on GABP’s main concourse along the third base line. Unique in both its size and presence, Hit Seekers’ expanded kiosk will offer a frequently updated assortment of sports trading card boxes, raw cards and graded singles during all Reds’ home games. In addition to plenty of Reds and general MLB stars, Hit Seekers’ GABP kiosk will also feature cards from MLS, NFL and the NBA for collectors of all sports. The kiosk will be open during all 2024 home games. The modern shop for today’s collectors, Hit Seekers is owned by father-and-son duo Greg and Jake Rouse, the latter having also co-founded Braxton Brewing Company in Covington, Ky. Sharing a passion for the hobby during Jake’s youth, collecting – and, by extension, Hit Seekers – is about more than just selling collectables for the father and son: It’s also about building community. It's this love of learning and building community that has also opened the door for Hit Seekers to be involved with the Reds Heads in 2024, the team’s official kids’ club. Greg noted that classes available through the partnership will help teach the fundamentals of business through teaching the basics of the hobby. Classes are to be determined but could include topics like “the basics of the hobby,” “why people grade cards and what those grades mean,” and “the seven different ways to collect.” “At Hit Seekers, our mission is based on making ‘baseball cards cool again,’” said Greg Rouse, co-owner of Hit Seekers. “We are more than a broker to sell and trade collectables through; we build community around the love of sports and the history behind them. We can’t wait to meet so many fellow collectors this season as we root for the home team at Great American Ball Park!” Hit Seekers originally began operations as an online retail shop in 2020. Finding success utilizing online streaming platforms, they expanded in 2022, opening their brick-and-mortar Fort Mitchell retail store at 2501 Dixie Hwy Suite 2, Fort Mitchell, KY 41017. In 2024, Greg and Jake Rouse celebrate two years at their brick-and-mortar store. In addition to selling sports cards and “wax” – the industry term for sealed boxes of cards – Hit Seekers is also known for “box breaks,” the practice of opening boxes/cases of cards and distributing them to a group of paying customers. Box breaking and grading – a practice in which collectors submit their cards to a third-party to evaluate and assess their condition – are now a large part of the sports collectibles industry. As noted by Forbes, The New York Times and other media outlets, sports collectibles are a multi-billion-dollar industry, reaching an estimated $35 billion+ in 2023 according to market research firm Market Decipher.

"Building our passion into a family business that serves the community is a win-win situation. We get to wake up every day and do what we love and share it with each other and the world. Cincinnati has a rich history of sports, and we are delighted to have our business etched in history.” Father-and-son-duo Greg and Jake Rouse started Hit Seekers three years ago as an online streaming business on both Facebook Live and the Loupe app, a live e-commerce streaming platform built for sports card collectors. After tremendous success, the Rouses’ took a chance on opening a brick-and-mortar store of their own and have been in-shop for the past year. Collecting and selling trading cards is a staple in the lives of many. There’s no better feeling when you open a pack and get your favorite player and Hit Seekers provides that joy for all ages.
