Cardzone?

[jacko]

Hey,
I have heard a bit about cardzone in Nth Melbourne and i'd like to know a few more specfic details. For example, do they buy cards? Do they trade?
I am interested in buying old boxes of teamcoach, would they sell them????
Do they have much teamcoach and herald sun or is it just select/scalens???
Thanks.

Gday mate.

As a Cardzone regulaer from the past 3 or 4 years i can tell you that.

* Steve does NOT buy cards
* Steve does NOT trade cards
* Doesn't have Teamcoach boxes on his mailing list (even this years) better check that one out in person, or i coudl as i am going on saturday.
* He definately has Teamcoach inserts (dont know about HS) but he also has a vast range of other cards, great pace to swing by even if you don't have anything in mind for a buy(due to it's footy range). You can pick up team sets from all years for around $5.

Hope this helps to some capacity, BTW how far away do you live from the Zone ?

BTW ... again ... You can pick up the Rich rookie for around $20 there, so if you haven't already got it there's an option.

I doubt CardZone will buy anyone's cards. They might trade. Do keep in mind they do overcharge.

I dropped by Cardzone the other day and only noticed footy cards on display. I only went to CardZone for basketball cards (in un-open packets) but they didn't have a wide selection. That's all I know about the store.

Thanks,
Esaint, would you mind asking up about the boxes of teamcoach for me?
I live about 20 minutes away from the place, when I buy cards I go the the South Melb Market, a great range of cards.

Yeh i saw afew herald sun sig cards while i was there the other day.
Sure does overcharge, emailed me a quote then tried to charge me double when i went in to buy them.

 

[edd1e66]

Yeah South Melbourne Market is also a great little hidden gem (would you believe it used to be in my local shopping strip, but moved for better business )
I'll ask steve on saturday about the TC boxes, or better yet go onto their website and leave him an email ... His prices arn't much, but his promptness to emails is second to none.

Thanks mate!!

He sounds a bit dodgy, I s'pose he is only a business man!
I'll ask him about teamcoach and just a roughy, how much does he charge for diecuts?
Cheers

does anyone know of any handy select stores in melb?

 

[edd1e66]

Diecuts are sold by teamsets starting from $15 ....
Card Zone - Australia's trading card shop, AFL, NRL, Cricket, Soccer, Rugby

 

[jacko]

Wooahhh... *drops jaw*
That is a bit expensive, especially paying $15 for an Adelaide die-cut set.

Oh, I highly doubt this but are you allowed to roam the shop and view cards un-supervised?

 

[edd1e66]

mmmhmmm

He isn't very open to discussion either

 

[jacko]

Hilarious! I don't think i'll be going there, i'll just stick to going to the SMM and buying my monthly box of teamcoach and the odd few diecuts!

Charlie at the SMM is selling the full set of red footy kickers for $10!
If you think about it, you could buy a set and sell if you 3 or 4 times what you bought it for.

 

[edd1e66]

It's a good place to check out, you may find something good.

When are you next heading down to SMM as i will be there on saturday as well.

 

[OHHYEA]

does this guy at south melb market have lots of singles from all years?

 

[edd1e66]

From expierience ... Yes he does, has them in counter bxes about 2 metres long

 

[OHHYEA]

might have to go down 1 day and see what his got

 

[Warney]

i haven't been there cos i'm in Perth but i think Steve does'nt give a crap about his customers. I emailed him a week ago and got not response, then again on Saturday and still no response. Annoying

 

[edd1e66]

What was your question mate ???

 

[Dwight Schrute]

Does Steve use Soy Sauce to give the cards that extra shine? Joking!
