John Macatangay, an ever-evolving entrepreneur, has reimagined what used to be Hopportunities of Delray Beach, FL by creating an innovative business, offering collectors a curated selection of sports trading cards through live-streamed auctions on Whatnot.com, while providing a fun atmosphere with local craft beers. The new enterprise is called Hopp The Hobby.
--With over 13,700 items sold and a perfect 5.0-Star rating from more than 1,600 reviews, Hopp The Hobby is rapidly becoming a trusted name in the sports card collecting community. The business specializes in a diverse range of cards, including rare autographs, limited-edition parallels, as well as wax packs, singles, and live breaks, and sought-after rookie cards from top brands like Topps, Panini, and Leaf.
“The creation of Hopp The Hobby within what was the Hopportunities Beer Hall,” according to founder John Macatangay, “brings forth a vibrant atmosphere that aims to redefine the traditional hobby shop experience by combining social interaction with the thrill of collecting.”
Hopp The Hobby plans to host regular events, including live card breaks and collector meetups, to further engage with the local and online communities. These initiatives are designed to provide educational opportunities for newcomers and a platform for seasoned collectors to share their knowledge.
Whatnot, the leading live shopping platform in the U.S., has revolutionized the way collectibles are bought and sold by combining e-commerce with real-time video streaming. This approach offers buyers a dynamic and interactive shopping experience, complete with live chat and instant purchasing options.
Hopp The Hobby's success on Whatnot is a testament to its commitment to customer satisfaction and efficient service, boasting an average shipping time of just one day. The business's Instagram presence, under the handle @hoppthehobby, further enhances its connection with the collector community by showcasing upcoming auctions, featured cards, and behind-the-scenes content.
As the sports card market continues to grow, Hopp The Hobby aims to expand its offerings and reach, providing collectors with an ever-evolving selection of high-quality cards and an unparalleled shopping experience.
