About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
In the quaint and historic city of Lexington, KY, blossoms a dream shared between two souls. My wife and I embarked on a journey in November 2022, marking the inception of Search and Rescue Cards – a snug corner where the essence of sports meets the age-old tradition of collecting. As ardent admirers of the sports world and its vibrant history, we envisioned a space where every enthusiast, from rookies to seasoned collectors, could find a piece of history to call their own.
Our Story
​Our mission, engraved in the very walls of our store, resonates with two core beliefs. Firstly, the “Barbershop” essence, a term coined from our relentless endeavor to nurture a warm, welcoming environment akin to a traditional barbershop. We value the camaraderie, the chatters of sports lore, and the shared joy of discovering that special card which connects generations.
​
Secondly, we are staunch believers in making collecting a joyous venture for everyone. With a keen eye on offering fair prices, we ensure that every avid fan can pursue their passion and collect trading cards of their favorite players without a dent in their wallet. This is the “Price Point Promise” we hold dear, making the thrill of collecting accessible to all.
As a community-driven trading card shop in Lexington, our heartbeats resonate with the city’s sporting spirit. The journey since our doors swung open has been exhilarating. The bonds formed over card trades, the stories shared over the counter, and the support from our Lexington community have been nothing short of phenomenal. We're thrilled to see our small shop blossoming into a hub of sports memorabilia and camaraderie.
​
Search and Rescue Cards is more than just a trading card store. It's a growing family with a shared love for sports, history, and community. As we continue to evolve and foster a space brimming with sports nostalgia and collectible treasures, we are ecstatic to see what the future holds. With each passing day, as we etch memories with our community, the narrative of Search and Rescue Cards becomes richer.
​
Our commitment to affordable trading cards and an inviting atmosphere propels us forward. The joy in the eyes of a collector finding their coveted card, the discussions around legendary players, and the shared excitement for the game are the chords that strum the melody of our venture.
​
At Search and Rescue Cards, we invite you to be a part of this beautiful journey. With each card traded, a story is shared, a memory is cherished and a legacy is celebrated. Your adventure in collecting awaits at the heart of Lexington, with us.
