The G.O.A.T. Collectibles & Antiques Sports 3.0(2)

The address on file for The G.O.A.T. Collectibles & Antiques is 108 Hugh Cir, Birmingham, AL 35209. There are 14 card shops on file in Birmingham, 12 of them independent; this is the tenth entry in that list. That order is a rating weighted by review count, not alphabetical and not by distance. There is a phone number on this listing but no website. That is the common case: 4 of Birmingham's 14 listings have no site on file either. Alabama as a whole has 108 independent shops on file across 58 cities and 32 chain locations alongside them. Opening times on the schedule start as early as 9 AM, and the latest close on it is 8 PM. Its 3.0-star Google rating rests on 2 reviews, the eleventh-largest review count of the 12 rated listings in Birmingham.

Classification here is sports cards — a directory-level label drawn from the business listing rather than from a stock check. Two other listings sit close by: Homewood Toy & Hobby Shop, 1 mile off, and Magic City Collectibles at 1 mile. The closest other cities with listings are Vestavia Hills, about 3 miles out with 3 shops, and Pelham at roughly 8 miles. Hours are posted for all seven days of the week. What the directory does not hold is inventory: there is no record here of what is in the case on a given day, which sets are open, or what the shop pays for cards. Call before you drive.
