It’s a great time to be a Detroit sports fan because the Lions are hot, and the Tigers are hot and in the playoffs.
The merchandise is burning off the shelves.
“You couldn’t plan for these things. I mean, that just happened so fast, really,” Legends Sports and Games Owner Lou Brown said.
This sports shop owner found his passion for collecting memorabilia when he was young.
FOX 17 “I was doing card shows when I was 12. I put on my first card show when I was 15,” Brown said.
At his Grand Rapids location, you’ll find cards and a lot of autographed sports gear.
“Our focus is sports cards and memorabilia. We have a pretty good variety of both,” Brown added.
The moment you walk in, visitors will see shelves upon shelves of cards from all kinds of teams.
“The sports cards have become very hot. It’s become an exciting thing to young people as well, which was always a challenge,” Brown explained.
FOX 17 Brown says one of the hottest items right now is the Tigers.
“Everybody wants to buy it. We get stuff in, and it disappears pretty quick,” Brown said.
