Ditz Hobby & Games — Local services in Escondido

I never expected that walking into a trading card shop would be life-changing—and even improve my relationship with my son.

The moment we stepped into DitzHits, we were warmly greeted by the owner, Jordan (aka “Ditz”). We started chatting casually about the Padres before he began showing us some of the shop’s inventory. When he got to the Pokémon cards, my son’s eyes lit up—he’s been trying to track down certain cards for months!

As for me, I was drawn to the old-school booster packs. I mentioned I had an unopened Pokémon booster box from ’98 or ’99. Jordan immediately knew what I was talking about and, without hesitation, gave me an honest valuation. My heart dropped at how much it was worth.

At that moment, I expected a typical salesman move—lowball an offer and try to snag it. But Jordan did something completely different that restored a little of my faith in people.

He didn’t try to buy it. He didn’t try to sell us anything. Instead, he looked at my son, saw the passion in his eyes, and said, “What are you even doing in this store?! Go home, watch some YouTube videos about that box, and share the excitement with your little man.”

That moment hit different.

Jordan runs his business with passion, integrity, and genuine love for the hobby. He’s not just in it for profit—he’s in it for the culture and community of collecting.

We’ll be opening that booster box together next week for my son’s birthday. And thanks to Ditz, it’s going to be one of those core memories neither of us will ever forget.
