Get ready for a 5-week Winter Gaming Series at Goatz Sportz Cardz! Every Wednesday night, we’re bringing the energy with competitive play, community vibes, and serious fun – all hosted right in the shop.

Each week features a different hands-on card challenge where participants compete for Gold, Silver, and Bronze placements, earning paper “medals” that become entries toward Grand Prize drawings. At the end of the series, we’ll draw a random medal from each box to determine our winner. Each winner will be receiving a 2026 Topps Chrome U.S. Winter Olympic & Paralympic Team Hopefuls item.

• 1st Place = Hobby Box
• 2nd Place = Value Box
• 3rd Place = One Pack

This event is all about fun, sportsmanship, and community — whether you’re a seasoned collector or just getting started. Participants may attend one week or all five, but the more you play, the more chances you earn to win.
