I’ve been collecting cards since I was a kid — this hobby has always been about passion and nostalgia for me, not profit. So this experience was extremely disappointing. I bought a 3-pack of 1988 Topps here at $7 per pack, hoping to pull the Bo Jackson rookie card — one of my favorite players of all time.
Two packs were sealed correctly and in original factory order. The third one was not — it had clearly been opened and re-sealed, and the cards inside were mixed and out of sequence.
I’ll be honest — I didn’t look closely at the packs when I bought them. I trusted the shop. That’s the part that stings. You shouldn’t have to second guess whether a local vendor is selling honest product, especially in a hobby built on authenticity.
This wasn’t a mistake. This was a re-sealed pack being sold as “sealed.” That’s dishonest. And when it comes from the owner, it’s even worse.
I used to enjoy coming here and supporting a local shop, but once trust is broken, I’m done. If you're going to sell “sealed” vintage packs, sell them sealed — or don’t sell them at all.

I appreciate and am grateful that masks are simply encouraged, but not required... because it is not appropriate or safe for everyone to wear one. Thank you for being a great asset to...
Read moreNot only is half the stuff their vendors sell not antique but they also let their vendors sell AI generated art. Extremely disappointed. Feels like a giant garage sale from some bored housewife's basement.
Edit: wow what a backhanded, rude reply! I truly don't think the owners understand what an antique mall is supposed to be. It's not a craft fair. And I will not fill out an application because I will not associate myself with a buisness that allows AI generated art through its doors. AI generated art takes away jobs and money from real artists. I will never come here again. Go to Originals Mall of Antiques in Oshkosh if you want a real...
