San Diego, CA – October 26, 2023 – Auburn Way Plaza LLC, a rapidly growing name in the sports collectible card market, is making waves with its curated selection and commitment to bringing the joy of collecting back to fans.

Auburn Way Plaza LLC understands this nostalgia and is dedicated to delivering that same excitement to a new generation of collectors – and welcoming back those who’ve been away from the hobby. “We saw a gap in the market,” explains a spokesperson for Auburn Way Plaza LLC. “A lot of places are either super high-end, intimidating for newcomers, or really just focused on the investment side of things. We want to be different. We want to be a place where anyone, from a kid grabbing their first pack to a seasoned veteran, can feel comfortable and find something they love.” What Auburn Way Plaza LLC Offers Auburn Way Plaza LLC isn’t just throwing a bunch of boxes on a shelf.
