Where Passion for Sports Cards Meets a Proven Retail Experience

Denver's vibrant trading card community is the perfect match for Replay Sports Cards. Mike Weinberger, co-founder and president of franchising at Replay Sports Cards and managing partner of Community Franchise Group , brings a deep understanding of Denver's passion for collecting, gained through over 20 years as a resident and his personal experiences trading cards with his son.

"This community isn't just about collecting; it's about connection, and I've seen it come alive at local card shops," Weinberger said.

Replay Sports Cards offers a welcoming space where collectors of all ages can buy, sell, trade, and grade their cards – enjoying the full sports card experience, backed by trust, integrity, and a sense of community.

"Denver deserves a full-service sports cards hub that celebrates Denver's incredible trading cards culture," Weinberger added. "We're seeking entrepreneurial-minded individuals who share our same passion for sports cards and want to be a supportive partner in their communities."

No previous retail experience is necessary, as Replay Sports Cards offers a comprehensive training program and ongoing support to help franchise partners flourish and bring the same trusted experience to their local communities.

Be Part of Something Bigger - Replay Gives Back has 100,000+ Cards Ready for Donation

Replay Sports Cards isn't just about business; it's about building a legacy. Through its Replay Gives Back initiative, the franchise aims to donate 1 million trading cards to kids nationwide. Since launching during Thanksgiving Week, the campaign has already collected over 100,000 cards, including more than 30,000 donated by the Denver Card Show organizers.

"We're turning the joy of collecting into smiles for kids who might not otherwise experience the thrill of opening a pack of sports cards," said Replay Co-Founder Brent Schepel. "Join us in spreading the magic of trading cards by donating extra or unwanted cards at our booth at the Denver Card Show."

Replay Co-Founder Mike Martin added, "We're seeking everything from legendary brands like Upper Deck, Leaf, Topps and Panini to Pokémon to make this holiday season a little extra special for kids who deserve to feel the excitement trading cards brings."

Replay Gives Back will initially distribute cards in Boca Raton, Fla.; Charlotte, N.C.; and Mount Pleasant, S.C., with plans to expand nationwide.
