Hit Seekers grand opening today

Hit Seekers Sports Cards is a new home for Greater Cincinnati’s sports card enthusiasts and collectors. Founded by the father and son team of Greg and Jake Rouse, who are reinventing the sports card retail experience.

Hit Seekers is a modern sports card trading shop – centered around community. Sports fans are invited to stop in for its grand opening today, show off their own collections, socialize, grab a beer, rip open the latest hobby box and watch some online breaks.

It officially opens 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. today at 2501 Dixie Hwy Suite 2 in Fort Mitchell.

Hit Seekers aims to revitalize the sports/collecting community. Nowhere is there a “modern day” approach to sports card trading that allows people to relax together, hang out, and talk over a beer.
