Cranks Sports Trading Gallery

Cranks Sports Trading Gallery is the sports-card half of a two-shop operation in Ooltewah, Tennessee, on Old Lee Hwy. It is built around sealed sports product, card breaks and a lounge area, and it also stocks Pokémon, One Piece Card Game and Disney Lorcana. It suits collectors who want hobby boxes across baseball, basketball, football and non-sport lines, and anyone who wants to trade with other collectors on a scheduled night.

What's on the shelves

Sealed sports product is the core of the stock. Baseball runs deep, with Topps lines (Chrome, Heritage, Tribute, Stadium Club, Series 2, Tier One), Panini (Immaculate, Select, Elite) and a long run of Leaf releases including Metal, Electrum, Baseball Nation and Pro Set. Prices span a wide range, from a $5.95 display accessory and cello packs under $20 to hobby boxes in the hundreds and a Topps Five Star MLB hobby box at $1,899.00. Basketball and football products sit alongside, and the shelves also carry WNBA and Premier League releases such as Prizm and Select blasters.

Non-sport boxes round things out: Star Wars, WWE, UFC, tennis, NASCAR, VeeFriends, Marvel and LIV Golf releases. On the trading card game side, the store carries Pokémon, One Piece Card Game and Disney Lorcana. Sealed Pokémon products in the mix include blisters and booster bundles, and older Magic booster boxes turn up as well. Collection appraisals are offered on request, so anyone wondering what a closet full of cards is worth can ask.

Breaks, trade nights and the lounge

The Ooltewah shop is where the store runs card breaks and trade nights, and it includes a lounge space. Trade nights are scheduled events rather than a standing weekly slot. One was set for Friday, September 18, from 6 to 8 PM at the Ooltewah shop.

Hours and getting there

The shop is at 8890 Old Lee Hwy in Ooltewah, Tennessee, and questions sent to the store are answered within one business day.

The second shop

The same owners run a separate shop in Chattanooga, Cranks TCG, at 6851 Lee Hwy. It keeps the same hours and focuses on Pokémon, One Piece and Magic, with nerd nights and tournaments. Anyone chasing sealed sports product or breaks belongs in Ooltewah, while tournament players will find the Chattanooga location more fitting.

In Chattanooga, Game On Chatt is 4.5 miles away, Hobby Town USA 5.9 miles and Marty's Sports Card Exchange 6.4 miles.
