Nation's First ~ Replay Sports Cards, the first national franchise concept dedicated exclusively to sports cards, has announced that it will be offering franchise opportunities to collectors and entrepreneurs. This exciting news comes just in time for Fanatics Fest 2025, which will be held at the Javits Center in New York City from June 20-22. Replay Sports Cards will have a booth at the event (Booth No. 1545) where attendees can experience an interactive shop with live card breaks, buy-sell-trade stations, donation drives, and information about the franchise opportunity.

According to Brent Schepel, co-founder of Replay Sports Cards, there has been a significant increase in interest in sports cards. He stated, "This is no longer just a hobby. It's a multi-billion-dollar industry in the U.S., with platforms like eBay reporting billions in annual sales alone." With major investments from Fanatics and advancements in digital grading and live breaks, it is clear that the sports card market is booming. Replay Sports Cards is positioned to capitalize on this growth and invites others to join them on this journey.

Replay Sports Cards currently has three company-owned shops across the Southeast and is now looking to expand nationwide through franchising. The franchise model offers collectors a turnkey path to opening their own local card shop backed by a modern brand, proven systems, and hobby-focused support. Each location provides a modern retail experience that caters to both seasoned collectors and newcomers alike with its clean and welcoming environment. The shops also offer full-service options such as buying, selling, trading, and grading services.

One of the unique aspects of Replay Sports Cards' franchise opportunity is that no prior retail experience is required. Franchise partners receive comprehensive training and startup support as well as access to vendor relationships and tech tools. With low startup costs and a scalable model, this opportunity is ideal for entrepreneurs who are passionate about building a community-driven business around their love for the hobby.

Mike Weinberger, co-founder and president of franchising at Replay Sports Cards, stated, "We're looking for entrepreneurial-minded individuals who love the hobby and want to build something meaningful in their neighborhoods." He added, "We're building shops rooted in trust, knowledge, and community, and we're looking for partners who share those values. With the right training and support, anyone who's passionate about cards can turn that passion into a business."

Franchise territories are now available in select U.S. markets, with high interest expected following the brand's presence at Fanatics Fest 2025. Those interested in learning more about this exciting opportunity can visit replaysportscards.com/franchise for more information.

In addition to offering franchise opportunities, Replay Sports Cards is also celebrating a major milestone for its Replay Gives Back initiative. In just over six months since its launch during Thanksgiving Week 2024, the program has received over 1 million donated trading cards. The initiative was created to spread the joy of collecting with kids across the country and has received donations from collectors, shop owners, and card show organizers nationwide.

Mike Martin, co-founder of Replay Sports Cards, shared his excitement about reaching this milestone: "We started Replay Gives Back to spread the magic of the hobby to kids who might not otherwise get to experience it." He continued, "Reaching 1 million cards shows how powerful that mission really is."

During Fanatics Fest 2025 at Booth No. 1545, Replay Sports Cards will be collecting donations to further their mission of inspiring the next generation of collectors. The brand is calling on attendees to help donate another 1 million cards during the event weekend alone. Donations are also accepted year-round at any Replay Sports Cards shop or by mail.
