About Us

I’m a father and husband first and right behind that, a lifelong sports fan. As a kid, whenever we could afford to go to a game, I was the one waiting after, hoping to get my card signed. I kept every card neatly stored in a binder, and what started as a childhood passion turned into my lifelong dream about six years ago.

Today, I have the privilege of bringing signed sports memorabilia and sports cards into as many homes as possible. My goal is to make the entire experience enjoyable, memorable, and fun. That vision comes to life at The Sports Shack.

It’s part memorabilia shop, part sports card store, part man cave, and part hangout spot. We have one of the best selections of sports memorabilia in the country, along with a massive sports card collection. On top of that, we also carry Magic, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Marvel products. Come check us out! You won’t be disappointed.

Here to help, share what I know, and grow the hobby! I really enjoy seeing everyone's diverse collections and hearing who they collect and why.
Collector Since
I've been collecting a lot of baseball and a little bit of pokemon since I was about 10. Me and my dad would go to Walmart and pick out some Blaster and Mega Boxes to rip together. Definitely one of my favorite memories.
Favorite Sport
Baseball, Golf, and Football
Favorite Team
Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Falcons, and Georgia Bulldogs
Favorite Collectible
Probably either my 1/1 Adam Duvall from 2017 Tier One or my 2017 Topps Finest auto /25 that is a Becket Pristine 10 Auto 10.
Current Chase
Any Auto, Patch, or numbered Adam Duvall that isn't already in my collection. He is a type 1 diabetic and so am I, so I've been a huge fan of his ever since he signed with the Braves in 2018.
