About Us
Got Baseball Cards was founded on May 6th, 1991 by current owner Joe Davis and Jeff Porter under the name J&J's Sports Section. We originally operated out of a 500 foot retail storefront in Avondale Estates, GA. We relocated to Snellville in 1998. We also began selling online to the public that year via ebay. Soon after that,
we introduced one of the industry's first eBay consignment programs for sports cards. In 2001, eBay awarded us with the eBay Award of Achievment for excellence in online selling.
We introduced the gotbaseballcards.com website in 2003 to help our customers better search our on-line inventory through eBay and Beckett. We have over 775,000 unique items to purchase from this site with a total inventory of approximately 10 million cards. We recently added www.collectibles-superstore.com to showcase the over 100,000 items we are offering via Amazon.com. This is where we offer not only one of the industry's finest selection of sportscards, but also boardgames, plush toys, and other collector's items. We remain one of the largest buyers and sellers of sports cards and collectibles in the country.
Got Baseball Cards is also open to the public six days a week in our Snellville, GA retail location, J&J's Sports SuperStore, located just outside of Atlanta. Here we have over 6000 feet of sports cards and collectibles for the entire family. At our retail store, we stock all the hottest new boxes & singles, as well as an extensive selection of supplies, toys, & more! We are proud of our stellar reputation within the industry. Our president has previously served as a marketing advisor for the Beckett.com marketplace. In addition, he spent time with other industry leaders in meetings with former eBay president Meg Whitman to help shape the future of the industry's most recognized online portal.
