With the NBA and NHL Playoffs in full swing, look for a renewed interest from fans and collectors in cards from teams and players in your local markets. In addition, the post-season creates plenty of storylines, collectible moments, new stars and future legends. Be sure that you are aware of what is happening with teams outside your local market so as not to miss potential sales opportunities.
Also, golf and auto racing are in full swing as well. Don’t pass up the chance of cashing-in on these niches. Stock-up on golf and racing products, if only to insure a presence for the occasional customer that might be interested. Here is a look at what will be Hot in the Shop – New Product Talk Releasing the Week of 4/20/2015.
