Calling All Sports Cards. Or to play off the Missouri factor maybe “Show Me Sports Cards”

HitlessAgain82 · 03-20-2023, 08:23 AM

Never mind, show me sports cards already taken, I should have known

longhornjunkie · 03-20-2023, 08:37 AM

The Card-inal
The Card Cardinal
Arrowhead...something

Are you in the Ozarks?

Compromise Cards?... sorry, too much US History with my 4th grader.

How important is it for you to be clever and / or punny?

Thinking about some successful cardshops, they have pretty straightforward names.

Burbank Sportscards. They're a sportscard shop in Burbank. The end. Probably the most successful and well-known card shop in America.

Jim and Steve's Sportscards. Maybe not as well-known as Burbank, but they've been going strong over 40 years. I'm also cherry-picking this one because I've been a customer there for over 30 years. But still.

Or if you just look at this

https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.co...est-finalists/

The four finalists for "Best Card Shop in America."
Baseball Card Connection
The Card Vault
Honey Hole Collectables
Real Sportscards

Out of them, only Honey Hole can really be considered "clever." I would argue that it's a terrible name, but whatever.

Either way. What I'm getting at is maybe don't overthink it. Maybe think about something more straight-forward and to the point.

eastbayak · 03-20-2023, 11:37 AM

If you want to make it Missouri-specific (I don't live in Missouri but supposedly these are sayings/themes there):

Show Me (Trading/Sports) Cards
Where the (Trading/Sports) Cards Run
Where (Trading/Sports) Cards Run
Gateway to the Cards
Gateway to (Trading/Sports) Cards

Or you can make it some basic like (just examples but get more creative):

Southwest (Trading/Sports) Cards
MVP (Trading/Sports) Cards
(Your name's) Dugout => If mostly baseball
(Your name's) Clubhouse => If mostly baseball
(Your name's) Bullpen => If mostly baseball

etc...

TheFrenzy · 03-20-2023, 11:55 AM

Is it in Springfield?

Call it "Hammond Cards" and see if you can partner with the money in that town.

gottagitdemjs · 03-20-2023, 01:18 PM

Show Me State Sports Cards and Collectibles

this differentiates you from Show Me Sports Cards in Blue Springs.

How about non regional names. Any ideas on that? I appreciate the list so far.
