HBZ Sports Cards — Local services in Kingsport

Wandered into this space with a friend. We are both women and going into spaces like this (card shops, comic shops, etc) is a crapshoot because you are often ignored or treated like a child and disrespected. Not the case with HBZ! My friend and I asked questions and they easily answered them and actually welcomed a conversation with us.
