In these challenging times for hobby shops around the country and around the world, Blowout Cards is launching a new series, the Buzz Hobby Shop Spotlight -- a look at spots in the hobby that you might not know about ... in their own words.

Turf & Dirt Sports Cards

Location: Bellingham, Wash.
Website: www.turfanddirtsportscards.com

In their own words: "Turf & Dirt opened their shop to create the best environment possible for their community of sports card collectors. Jimmy Sears, Stacy Sears and their daughter, Emily, operate this shop as a small family business. Jimmy has been a collector since 1986 and has been in the business of sports cards for the last 10 years. The last five years, Jimmy helped run another card shop, but decided to open his own shop in October 2019. Turf & Dirt has built an active social-media presence but relies heavily on our local community to help create the environment of Turf & Dirt. The shop is attempting to do their part to help keep the hobby alive and strong during these times. When there are no sports to watch, why not rip some packs?"
